Why go after the parents ? What is wrong with you people ?

If their parents had been responsible they wouldn't be dead.


Not everything is actionable.  If people were arrested for every stupid decision made, most of us would currently be in jail.  Hind sight is 20/20.  Too bad all of us don't get a second change when we made a bad decision, but that's just not the way things work.

I feel bad that at 14, they didn't fish on a lake, not on the ocean.

I agree.  We don't all get second chances.  They made the wrong decision and paid with their lives.  I'm thankful I didn't have to suffer negative consequences for every bad decision I've made in my life.

Sorry, but I wasn't crazy enough at 14 to do what they did and my parents weren't crazy enough to let me.

Not everyone makes a stupid mistake that leads to someone's death; especially their own child's death.

 

You leave your kid in a hot car because you forgot him while you were texting. Oops stupid mistake. Kid is dead. Oh well.

 

You forget to strap your baby properly in her carseat, you go through a stop sign, she gets injured, leads to her death, oops stupid mistake.

 

Yeah that's it's.

I'm waiting for a thread blaming Cecil for his own death. I mean, he was just walking around being a lion and should have been aware what a tempting target he was.

Where did they get $110 for gas?   When I was 14 I was lucky if I had $1.10 in my pocket.


The word is inflation.  $110 now is like $10.00.  Every year money inflates.  It never goes back down.
