The local newspaper recently ran a story titled, "14 month old girl dies in crash."

If one reads the paper online there is s a comments section and many readers, myself included like to interact with the stories and other readers.
This past Sunday a baby girl was killed in a 3 car accident as their vehicle rear ended a stopped vehicle and the baby was thrust forward and died.Two children in the back in car-seats were uninjured as was the father who was driving.
Supposedly their father was arrested and charged with negligence because he had his little girl on his lap,nothing like kicking a guy when he's down.
Most of us have either held a child or in our lap while driving or have been on their parents laps as children while they drove. I remember my father driving with me on his lap as I pretended to drive as a child.
Here are a few of the comments, "Wow, the victim is the CHILD. The father should be publicly chastised. Throwing out forgiveness from the beginning is not always the best idea when you want to AVOID this behavior in the future." "Stating the obvious (the driver was stupid to have her on his lap) is not being 'cold' and 'insensitive'. Nothing else being said is 'that out-of-line'. Gees... People need to get thicker skins and step away from the Care Bears."
Nothing can bring the baby back, c'mon folks have some empathy and sympathy here. There were some sympathetic comments but most comments were very cold toward a father who just lost his baby.
I feel like I am living on in the twilight zone amongst some of the least caring people in the world.
Those without sin cast the first stone.
