That's not the point. This child is dead and his father must now live with it. I don't care if he was negligent. Who the hell has not been negligent at one point or another in their lives? Have I had a complete handle on my own kids every second of their lives? No, I haven't and I am sure there have been instances with all three of my kids that could have gone tragically wrong, but they didn't.

I've no reason to believe he supposed that this would happen. I feel for him and the man in the car. To assign blame, to me, seems callous and disrespectful.
