The children are in critical condition, said Sgt. Baker.

Good to see you here on the scene early, waiving your foot around before cramming the whole thing in your caustic mouth! There is no "obvious" cause to this accident and absolutely NO reason to be labeling anyone "careless" or blaming them for their own child's death. Irresponsible!, rude! completely uncalled for. Joe you will never gain readers by allowing this type of garbage on your site.

My name is Karen Freeman. I lost my only daughter. She was 22 and died for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. To think, or read, that there are people as inhumane, ignorant and just inately evil as to comment on this situation is unbelievable. Especially as vile as Bigdaddy. As a parent, I admit that I failed. I didn't protect my baby girl. I live with that everyday. This mother's hell has only just started. She has to continue to be a mom for her older child. Thathe fact that Bigdaddy didn't have Big enough balls to print his name, and that this so called news media printed this trash for grieving parents, family and friends to read makes me literally sick to my stomach! Where were you Bigdaddy when that 2 year old baby girl was raped by that smug piece of garbage. That trash received 10 years probation. Where was your opinion and judgement then?! This mothers life sentence is just beginning. What a complete disgrace to mankind you are! Please feel free to respond, I would actually like to see the small male that would think much less say anything this heinous. You will reap what you sow, as will the trash involved, directly or indirectly, in my daughters death. Just ask the trash that raped baby girl.
