Charges
After reading this story: as a parent, I wonder how much more can the courts do to me. The man's family is totally, completely destroyed. What can the court do to top that one. I am not saying he doesn't need to be punished, he is now serving a life sentence.
I can not even image having to live with this,
Oh God! How can parents do
Oh God! How can parents do such foolish things regarding their children? This father will NEVER get over this. Poor little girl. :( And the poor guy who drove the truck into the little girl? Oh God! This story is about misery all around. So many innocent lives will be affected by this father's poor deision.
