Dr. Knapp said. People have overwhelming feelings of guilt. Parents sometimes don't know what to do. But there is help available to them. Among the help are support groups and resources of the National SIDS Foundation.
New laws require a complete investigation into the death of all infants.
That means an autopsy and death scene investigation. Parents should know the investigations are mandated by law and are nothing more than routine. We don't mean to add to the anxiety over what has happened. We don't look upon this as a presumption of guilt. It's very important all of the cases be investigated.
