Michael, your full of it. Every single person in here has said at one time or another that we are grieving for that boy. Our sympathies ARE with him. We just don't feel, as Christina said, that the driver should be charged for murder. Maybe if you had read all of the posts you would get that, or were you not using your brain either? Every single person is sad for the child, that's WHY everyone is so mad at Christina. She isn't focusing on the child AT ALL. Get a clue!

First off, why do I get the feeling Michael and Christina know each other? Secondly, how are we supposed to give "Empathy" for the child when the child is no longer with us? Do you think the child would get some kind of satisfaction from knowing the driver was punished in some way after all the guilt they are feeling already? I mean really, if something tragic happened to you like this, would you feel better yourself somehow knowing more grief was to become of it? Give me a break.....Chistina and Michael if you really feel this way over this accident, then you should be chair heading up a drive to get all those repeat DWI offenders off the road, whereas they KNOW they are taking a chance with someone elses life that they can even see!
