Parents are overprotective of their children because they love them. It can be counterproductive at times but in the case of Elianna, Lacey being an over-concerned parent actually saved her from a fatal accident. Lacey is a responsible parent who makes sure to read about every illness and incident related to children that are available online. It was having read about one such incident online that made Lacey alert and she remembered that the incident a dad posted about online, ended tragically. She wanted to avoid a similar end for her daughter at any costs.
