Amen, this is the kind of stuff that really breaks the heart. As a father, and I have a son who’s almost four, just the thought of something like this is enough to bring tears to my eyes. Please Lord, give this family your grace and mercy.
Damn... Just Damn! My grandson (6 years old) was out this weekend fishing with his dad. This one hits too close to home, time to give him another hug.
Oh, the poor dad.
Prayers up for the child and his family.
no the moron needs to forfeit his life
I’ll spot the 4 and 5 year olds as being too young to be responsible (and blame the parents) but the 11 year old should spend about 30 years locked away.
My son just turned 5.
Words completely fail me at times like this.
You are so right.
I would be replaying the events over and over for the rest of my life, and it would change nothing.
Only in Christ is there any hope at times like this.
And to one day be reunified.
May little Jacob be playing with the angels in Heaven and may Bruce Pond rot in prison.
There is no defense for this, NONE.
Aiming at a light and just so happen to hit a little boy in the temple? BS I say. It was accidentally on purpose.
You are so right, only in Christ is there comfort.
Our 18 year old son who was about to start his second year of college was killed in a car accident with another guy the same age who had come from a grauation party and had been drinking.
There is no denying God the souls he wants in His arms.
I wrote a letter to the court to have mercy upon the young man, for it made no sense to ruin two lives by putting him away for years on end.
He is now out, working, and helping teach young people the devistating effects of bad decisions like drinking and driving.
I miss our boy but don’t wish him back, for what Christian would rather have their child in this sinful world than in the loving arms of our heavenly Father.
To God be the glory, and may He bless you all.
I pray that our heavenly father delivers a beautiful, healthy angel into your life. Amen
We all have been forgiven so much by our loving Father. Your mercy upon that young fellow is evidence to God’s divine mercy towards you.
God Bless you for being a beacon of light in a dark world.

God bless your precious son.
God bless your precious son.
My son is 4 and my eyes welled up at the pain of those parents. I just snuck in my son’s room to see that he was OK after reading pf this tragedy.
Although I could probably go for "jes' hang 'im".
I always do that too, especially if they sleep in late, I go check, of course that also wakes them up heh.
Not an “accident”
