I'm totaly with you.
I've met yours and you've met mine........even good kids can get out of hand at times and do something mom or dad can't catch in time.
You're right. Also, this poor mother is probably going to be blaming herself for the rest of her life. No amount of money from Walmart or any kind of settlement is going to help that.
Worse yet, some of the comments on this post distinctly lack compassion or sympathy. No wonder Republicans/conservatives have the bad reputation for looking down their noses at people and having the nerve to insinuate they deserve all the bad that happens to them under the self-righteous banner of "accountability." A little boy is dead and it's all the mother's fault? For shame.
