00:00It's terrible. Terrible to imagine what she went through.
00:04Nobody deserves to go through the way she did.
00:07And even after, mom couldn't even say bye to her.
00:11It's very difficult. That's the things that are stuck in my mind.
00:14Like, I need to make sure that no parent has to go through this.
00:17Because I'm a mom myself. My son is the same age as Sophia was.
00:20They used to play together. I used to babysit Sophia when she was younger.
00:24It's not fair. This could have been prevented.
00:26If the law and the rules were implemented, maybe Sophia would have not died.
00:32And that's why we keep fighting.
00:34So the laws and rules are implemented so people don't have to suffer.
