I've often said, with sites where children are killed in accidents, and huge rotting (after a few rain storms) piles of stuffed toys accumulate, that it would be a much more meaningful gesture instead of putting a stuffed animal out in the rain and weather to rot away, to make a donation to Toys for Tots or send a stuffed animal to a children's hospital in memory of the child. In my mind, that would be a better way of honoring the child than wasting a toy that someone might have loved.
