"In this case there is no logic," Mayor Nicholas Valentine said, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported. "No one should do anything like this. Find another way out of it, especially with the children. Find help."

By bringing up Susan Smith they are saying that it’s not only black women who commit these crimes????

As Mythbusters demonstrated, if you plan to drive into a body of water, be sure to have something with that can easily break a window. Otherwise you are trapped in the car until it flips over a few times and sinks. By then you can't get out.
unless killing yourself and your passengers is your intention, of course.

10-year-old son, Lashaun, escaped through a window, swam to shore, and ran to a nearby fire station for help. Prayers up for this boy. He's gonna need 'em.

Newburgh, a small working-class city Wouldn't it be more honest to describe as 'a small, welfare-class city'?

Susan Smith didn’t kill herself. This mother did.

That’s true, not much “working” going on there.

Really?
I’ve always understood that as a car enters the water, the pressure makes it impossible to open the door. And once the car is fully submersed - also - you can’t open the door.
But there is a middle ground. As the car is filling up with water - there comes a time when the pressure inside and outside of the car is the same. And at that time, you can easily open the car door as if it were parked in dry land.
The key is not NOT PANIC! Wait until that opportune time. Swim away.

Most likely the father was named after Jean Pierre Boyer, one of the leaders of the Hatian revolution and President of Haiti:

I’ve been to Newburgh several times- your description is accurate.
To: Responsibility2nd
Once a car is completely submersed and filled on the inside the pressure differential will be gone and you can open the door.....or you can just roll down a window (before the car goes under if it's electric).
To: Ramius
Yes, the poor boy. How utterly terrified he must have been.

Really? Completely submersed? Ugh. I hope and pray I never have to find out. I’d like to think I’d keep cool and not panic, but....
