Prayers for this poor family My heart goes out to them. To the folks that are saying jail the parents they weren’t even there. It’s the person who put those babies in the car and that didn’t properly restrain them. Have some compassion for this family. They lost their precious little angel
The parents should grieve! They are responsible for the death of this child. It’s not an accident they weren’t strapped in the seats. It’s not the car seat, not the car accident, it’s neglect as I haven’t heard the two car seats are apart of a massive recall. Children (yes, plural) don’t get ejected from vehicles unless they were Not properly fastened to the appropriate age/height required car seat. GRIEVE, BE RESPONSIBLE and stop pretending this could have been avoided. Wake up people and stop accepting it’s just an accident.
What a tragedy to deal with. If you’re not involved with this accident, please refrain from your comments on what should be done or not done. How can you charge a parent if they were not there? Your comments are hurtful to those that it does involve. Would you feel the same way if it happened to you or your family member? It’s NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. Accidents happen at any given moment. I wasn’t there in the car, so my opinion on the children being restrained or restrained properly I can’t say. I do know that most of you were not there either. So let up and move on. Allow this family to grieve and now bury a 2 yr old.
Prayers for the family, friends and the other driver involved.
I agree with Sam… why jail the parents at this point.. they have to live with what happened due to their negligence.. shame it happened.. Blessings to all
Ok I understand that everyone has there opinion but please stop with all the charging the parents comments. This is a family member and it is definitely unnecessary for the “charge the parents” comments one of the parents were at work and the other one is nonexistent the drive did not intentionally go out and try to have an “ACCIDENT” because that’s simply what it was it could have happen if the kids were in the car of a babysitter who was not a family. I’m just asking could you please ease up on the “Charge the parents” and allow my family to process this because it’s simply other things that are not being put out. Please and Thank You
Everyone except Sam has a valid point. The court needs to set a standard for thus so others know this won’t be tolerated.
Well I know y’all are saying to charge and jail the parents but look at what they have to live with. Not a day will go by that they won’t be haunted by the fact that the choice they made took the life if their child. That is worse then any sentence they could receive.
What a burden to live with.
Someone needs to be charged for not having them properly restrained
Senseless completely avoidable, the parents should be jailed for manslaughter.
