First of all, it seems it was a made-up story man. It is not convincing, if you are going to make a story, please make it more natural.
Anyway, I don't think this will confuse everyone because pretty much everyone already knew what to do when this happens. Would you have a second thought selling your stash for the sake of your child's life? Of course no, are you for real? As soon as you get in this situation you will have no any other thoughts but to sell it right away just to save your love ones, no matter what circumstances are, whether the price is against you or not. We can earn money or bitcoin again but the lives of our love one is irreplaceable.
