I don't think that's what he meant.  I thought it was just a 
tasteless joke.  Scott?

The boy fell from a window that the housekeeper had left open. 
Clapton's girlfriend (and Conor's mother) and the housekeeper were in 
the other room.  Clapton wasn't even there.  So even if they're held 
accountable...now Clapton is re-married and you're saying that 
because of that incident, the "Clapton household shouldn't be trusted 
with small children?"  Isn't that putting a strike against Clapton 
and his wife for no reason?
