It was a good one...

but not a great one!!! The story was good, but Maria's insistence in not cooperating with the police was way too much...

Meny peolpe don't trust police at first and don't want to cooperate, try to do all by themselves, but after having her kid killed inside a hospital she should have just told them all she knew and trusted the police to protect her, she clearly wasn't doing a good job by herself!!

The police work wasn't very satisfactory too... they were all over the place, couldn't stop the bad guys killing a little boy in a hospital, lead them to the key witness who got shot and almost could have died... and then lost the witness, who then tried to do justice with her own hands....moreless

When a six year old boy is wounded in a shooting, the Detectives of the Special Victims Unit are called in when his mother abandons him in the ER. During the course of the investigation, they find that their mother had a history of giving false identification. Benson and Stabler find that she may have been on the run from her boyfriend, who is an abusive drug dealer. She was doing whatever she could in order to make sure that her children were protected from his destructive ways.

This was a good episode. Not one of my favorites but it was good none the less.moreless
