Most Hyundai Santa Fe's are automatic. Bet this was one as well. The transmission may have slipped out of "park".

but it took a very stupid mistake to set it up.

All mistakes are stupid when viewed w/ 20/20 hindsight, else they would be "lucky breaks".

Perhaps. That's why you also set the brake. And OBTW, don't forget your Driver's Ed lessons, and turn the wheel so that the rolling car backs into the side of the hill.

If you're looking for the definition of love, the article just gave it.

I John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

I don't know if I realize a miracle if I saw one, but it'd be nice to think that God saved the child's life since the father gave his.

A good one? Nothing good can be said about this story. You may want to apologize to yourself for even responding to that no-class comment.

TO CTLPDAD and EVERYONE HERE: I've read all the comments posted here and while most were thoughtful and kind, I found some comments to be disrespectful and plain ugly (you all know who you are). I knew John Whatmough (pronounced "what-maw" to set the record straight) personally, him and his wife are friends of mine. John was an incredible person who loved his family dearly, a good husband and father. His child WAS in his car seat, don't doubt that for a second. The comment about John obviously not being in one angered me the most. Not funny and it didn't need to be said. This tragedy has left those of us who knew him grappling with shock and dismay. Prayers are needed at this time, and anyone who makes jokes or sarcastic comments about this situation or other tragedies ought to be ashamed of themselves.
