I understand what you are saying. What I have been saying is instead of finger pointing and blame, what can we learn from this?
I have been emotionally harshly judged, but the question remains: What can be learned, and what advice would those who have been through this offer to their friedns and neighbors?

A softie? Nah, just sympathetic when it comes to sitting in ICU, praying beside someone I love. I have done it, and hope I never have to again.

When a family member comes onto one of these forums and states their anger with what is being said, there is an instant change in the direction of and the amount of negativity within the conversations.
So what does that tell us? Whether they have the courage or take the time to respond, clearly they are always reading these posts.
Freedom of speech should never be imposed on or limiited, however, a higher level of class could be implemented to ensure we all cause no further harm to those families.
I agree with the comments about helmets and parental supervision but we don't know the whole story. We get a 2-3 paragraph condensed version from the media. We are sheltered from the images of his parents sleeping at his bedside in the ICU pryaing for a miracle, hating themselves for allowing this to happen, etc...
I do not have children, however, I am sure 9 out of 10 times the angry parents voicing their concerns have left their chid unattended at some point. Luckily, your child wasn't harmed, this one was... My opinion, for what's it worth, is more of a request to take a softer approach when posting comment in these instances.

Should he have sugar coated the facts? Do you let your 11 year old kid illegally ride ATVS? Do you let your 13 year kid drive your car?
I hate arguing on these forums, matter of fact, I hate to see any arguing whatsoever... Still no excuse for me to argue with you. I should just allow you to feel that its wrong for someone to state what they are thinking...
