The two-year-old child whose shoe this was lost both legs yesterdayis recovering[?]. Initial reports were that she had died in the hospital, but I understand she is still living, though she has a serious internal head injury.
YNet reports that a toddler wounded in the attack regained consciousness today. His mother was told that the toddler only suffered a broken leg, because the mother herself is in serious condition and, presumably, doctors fear for her health if she is told.
This is a demonstration of how vitally important it is for citizens to be involved in shaping and, where appropriate, chastising their own government. It can literally be a matter of life and death.
This is strange. I am checking more sources. My source was quite confident about the injuries, but I see Haaretz also reports that the injuries weren't so bad...what is the truth here? And why would the papers be reporting less than the truth of the injury?

I believe Barak invited Rice to visit the Mall with him, but .....
Meanwhile Defense Minister Ehud Barak briefed US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on the attack, and asked if she would be interested in accompanying him to Ashkelon to survey the damage. Rice has yet to respond to the offer.
Now she can sympathize with the Palestinians once more looking for comparisons to her suffering in the South.
I think your sources were correct. The mother was deliberately not told the truth because of fears for her health.
