Not being argumentative. I'm not sure if 5 is better or worse than 15, but in that specific case, it seems like the mom was lucky she only had 5.

I am going to go out on a ledge here and call that a shot placement and bullet selection problem not a problem with the caliber.
Most people buy these guns, never train, and buy the cheapest Winchester white box ball ammo to fill it with. The gun is not a magic talisman warding off evil, you need to learn and train to use it.
38 special was used by law enforcement in many countries for many years to dispatch dirt bags successful.
I only assume all of this because she shot 5 the other girl shot 5 or six and he was only hit three times that shot placement could be the issue here.
