What is the most concerning is how they claimed the stuff with Hunter and Ashley's diary wasn't true, when it actually was. It points to a complete lack of integrity. If they can't tell the truth about something like that, how can they be trusted on anything else? Who is the "they" you ar...

They aren't remotely comparable. The TX bridge is vastly smaller and simpler and the damage is far less

Wife: From the map we saw of where everything took place, it wasn't directly next to the waterfall, but a little upstream. Thus, the danger, although very real, was not as obvious as it would have been if they were right next to the cliff. The signs were there warning people of the hidden danger. A...

I’m okay in principle to having laws that punish negligent parents and protect children. But I would idealize them as having a pretty high bar for prosecution.

Is it more acceptable to kill your own child than the child of a stranger? I would suggest no. The tragedy is that the child died. Children are not the possessions or personal property of their parents. They are independently deserving of protection from the law. It should not be more acceptable to...

A recent topic on MN was whether or not negligent parents should be punished. One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If ne...

It seems they are alleging negligence not malice in this case. Do you think ANY acts of negligence ever merit punishment? How is this materially different from say a case where someone is fiddling on their phone while driving and runs over a child? In our legal system, we usually punish negligence ...

Just a few items here , The original Sheriff in Jackson Co. NC ,had declined to press Charges here , but the lead investigator ,in the case , was so appalled by the total disregard for safety , Yes , there were signs and barriers in place at the top of the falls....That when he became the top law e...
