There's a difference between forgiveness and cluelessness. This woman hasn't figured it out.
NYC shopping cart attack victim wishes boys who injured her well
NEW YORK – A New York charity worker who was nearly killed by a shopping cart pushed over a garage railing by teenagers in October spoke publicly for the first time Monday -- expressing compassion for the pranksters who dropped the cart on her head.
Marion Hedges, during a walk outside her Upper East Side apartment, said she hasn't received an apology from the perpetrators.
"I haven't heard from them, but I wish them well," Hedges said. "I do, because I feel very sorry for them.
"I don't know that my son would do something like that or that his friends would do something like that. But there were a lot of things in their lives to bring them to that. A shopping mall is not a place for kids to hang out."
Hedges was standing under a ramp at an East Harlem parking lot when the shopping cart, pushed by the pair of teens 50 feet above her, came crashing down on her head.
After days in an induced coma, she has made a slow and painful recovery.
