Do you feel this is right?
« on: June 28, 2010, 02:31:48 PM »
I sent in a prayer request regarding this. Four boys were in a major car accident. Two of the passengers died :( One on impact and the other was brain dead and his family chose to pull the plug. The driver is in critical condition and the other boy(16) is really fighting for his life (he was in the back seat).

The mother of the boy who is in critical condition is pressing charges against the driver. They don't know what really happened, whether or not the driver was drinking. If/when the driver gains his concious and finds out what happened, that guilt will hit him hard knowing that two people died. That's a lot for a young person an I'll be praying for him.

What do you think about the situation? What would you do if you were the mother?

IMO, it's hard to say what one would do not having been in that situation.

I usually like to put myself in the person's shoes and try to play it out in my mind, but in this case, I honestly can't tell you what I'd do. What I do know is that I wouldn't press any charges at all until I found out who was at fault. Armed with accurate information, I can only hope that the grieving human being in me would submit to the Jesus/mercy in me and let it go. That's what I HOPE I would do.

But I would think that if the driver was really at fault, the state would file charges anyway, no?
When you're in love you don't want to fall asleep bc reality is finally better than your dreams.

IDK if the state will or not. Another friend of mine was driving in the fast lane on a spare tire doing 75 and she caused an accident with the result of the other driver dying...she was in a coma for awhile with charges pending against her, but she's roaming freely now. I don't know who dropped the charges.

It's an all around sad situation :(   I wouldn't know what I'd do either. I hope to never be in that situation. The mom was saying how she didn't even know her son left the house. Sadly the two young men went on to see what eternity will be like. Didn't even finish high school. I pray eyes will be awaken through this. The importance of salvation...

If I were the mother, I would sue every single person involved in the incident. Someone is about to talk.

She can't just get sue happy all willy-nilly...

Just from the limited info that we have here, it seems she is angry at the other boys for taking her son from her house without her knowledge or somehow "influencing" him to do whatever they were doing with them.  I think she should wait until the story plays out, because you never know, her son could've been the ringleader... even if he wasn't, it was more likely all voluntary for each boy involved, and just like her son didn't know it would lead to this, neither did any of the others.  If he got in the car with someone he knew had been drinking (if that was even the case), he too made a bad decision.   I guess I'm just saying that I would reserve legal action until an investigation has been completed.

Hey B,this mom is in an emotional state,pretty easy to understand.Depending on who makes how much noise,the local police/DA have the right to prosecute.

Also,politicos make their bones for the next election sometimes as a "perceived" stance against drugs/violence /DUI etc.

Where I live,few years ago a family is at the mall to swap some CHRISTmas gifts.Mom pulls out in front of somebody,her fault -her child dies.So the DA is going to bust her butt,there was so much public outcry AGAINST the DA(how many times do you have to punish/kill mom?) he drops it.BUTTTTTT then,he refiles the case-different charges with the resultant SAME fine(about $10,000).

So;I think that was all about His image AND the big$$$$$$$ helped.pray for this!

Exactly...the boy can't even vouch for himself and explain what happened yet and neither can her son :-\  I was asked to provide a scripture/prayer that would encourage her regarding her son's recovery. I did, but I said she first has to believe that God is able. You can't keep asking for prayer and at the same time saying your son is going to die. Blessings and cursings ya know...
