It's not necessarily additional liability for the umpire, but for the child. Facilitating this mother putting her child in harms way is almost as bad as handing her a drink or a cigarette.
I assume you are not a doctor, either. Nor am I. Therefore I have no medical training upon which to base any decision concerning this person's health or ability to perform the duties required of the position.

Absent any presumed authority trained medical personnel MAY have, I will not be so pretentious as to impose my beliefs, opinions or moral ethics upon someone else.
