This one really is up there on the stupid scale, worst part is an 11 year old child paid for it instead of the person making the judgement.
What really gets me, is how everyone is having a cow about the father being brought up on charges…hello, his poor judgement got his daughter killed…what part of he is responsible don’t YOU people get??
While I am sympathetic to his loss, if he had kept his children with him and taken them home like a responsible parent, none of this would be happening now, and Sage would be safe and sound and still looking at a bright future. So, yeah, he should pay for his negligence, and I have no sympathy for idiotcy.

That is tragic. He should have at least gone with them, rather then stay with the vehicle if he was going to make them walk.
*shrugs* I don’t know. I try to reserve judgement, but I do think it was at least *partially* his fault.
I think he should be shot and I’ll give them the bullet, no charge. Letting kids walk in that weather. what an ass. 😡 👿
My brothers son was killed in a drunk driving related incident a year and a half ago. They live with the “what if’s” that are so easy to come up with after the fact. We don’t know the whole story, only what has been reported by the media. Believe me, dealing with the death of your child and knowing all the wrong decisions you may have made that contributed to it are more punishment than anyone here can think of. Right now he would probably welcome a bullet to end his own grief, self blaming and pain.
My guess is there’s not a parent here who would have let their children walk off in that weather. Stupidity does kill, and there’s the proof.
Makes me sick what kind of person lets there kids out in the driving snow with out a TaunTaun and light-saber . For all we know it could have been a Whompa attack 😳 , hell even the snow speeders couldn’t take the cold and had to be thawed out in the hangers …im sorry a little tired here at midnight 😛 .
seriously he is a moron

I agree with khat. The media is very selective about the information we receive, and we don’t know the whole story. The father broke down when he told the story. Like Dragon87, I try not to pass judgment on what was an unfortunate occurrence without knowing all the facts.
Heh.
I agree that he’s an idiot. There’s no excuse for letting children go out on their own in that kind of cold, I don’t care who was supposed to meet them.
But I also agree that he’s probably suffering plenty from the consequences of his idiocy.
From the other article I read on this man, he was drunk at the time. He shouldn’t have taken the kids out in the first place. 😡

Thing is, when he went back to find his children at 2PM, he only searched for about 5 hours, then “gave up” because he was too cold to keep going. At that point the children had been in it for 9 hours…that would have galvanized me into not stopping…if it was that bad for me, how much worse could it be for them?? I wouldn’t have put my children in that situation in the first place, but if they were in it, I would be searching until I dropped. The fact that he did not, is one of the things that infuriates me.
There are about 4 stories going in the paper ATM, and all are pretty clear about what occurred, basically he failed to recognize that the weather conditions were too severe for a 10 mile trek, and the children paid for it. Since it was his job to keep his children safe and he failed, he needs to be called on it, and the only way to do that is through the courts.

I saw this a couple days ago on MSN. I don’t much care for Darwin, but survival of the fittest is a fact that gets proven over and over… Problem is, it doesn’t always do a thorough job.
