What a terrible, terrible tragedy. <BR/><BR/>Second of all, I'd be willing to bet the 'critics' are all middle or upper middle class members, not realizing that the reality for many is that many HAVE to leave home and be adults at 18. 18 is the age of adulthood under the law; there's not a whole lot a parent can do to prevent their 'child' from doing anything.<BR/><BR/>AT least the truck driver sounded as if was on the ball ... possibly prevented others from getting seriously hurt as well.ewe are herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339650361453626546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368919919776015255.post-11629286724353345162007-10-03T11:46:00.000-07:002007-10-03T11:46:00.000-07:00How awful!

I was listening to the radio today about people making judgements and labeling others, especially when the person making the comments knows nothing of the whole story. The whole commenting anon is very cowardly. At 18, they are legally adults. The mother did what I would have done, and any mother would have done the same. It is a tragic accident, but the parents shouldn't be held liable.<BR/>There are just some very thoughtless people out there.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are feeling better today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368919919776015255.post-68374288211381041182007-10-03T09:06:00.000-07:002007-10-03T09:06:00.000-07:00On a subject like this, I agree, speculative comme...On a subject like this, I agree, speculative comments and placing blame don't help the situation or the family. Did the posting invite comments - they should have just said "Thoughts to the family" or something of the like for comments... The owner of the site should go in and delete these commentaries. I recently read a discussion on people who have the same breast cancer gene that I have, and I felt awful on the opinions people gave. I mean - they don't have to live with my situation. Just like the people who commented on this young man don't need to live with his loss.<BR/><BR/>And to the person who said this young man was a "baby", they should meet some of the soldiers (like this young man's brother) that travel thousands of miles away from their homes to fight...isn't 18 still a legal adult?<BR/><BR/>PS/Hope you are feeling better :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368919919776015255.post-65240268095170558092007-10-03T08:26:00.000-07:002007-10-03T08:26:00.000-07:00anonymous postings like that just show you how chi...anonymous postings like that just show you how chickenshit and ignorant people are. it is bad enough these parents lost there child...they don't need that crap. that person had NO right to comment on something they knew nothing about.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365631315923740004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368919919776015255.post-43460015228754380222007-10-03T08:09:00.000-07:002007-10-03T08:09:00.000-07:00I've wondered this as well.

And just because you think it doesn't mean you say it. Cowardly besides unkind.<BR/><BR/>And hope you are feeling better. I am keeping my distance as I write this because I just have a feeling germs are in the air....<BR/><BR/>what's the weather like there> Rainy? Gorgeous Fall?
