What we have to deal with on Facebook sometimes…

Just answered this on our Facebook page. We’re reposting it here just in case you might have missed it…and because after my answer, I’m pretty sure she’s going to delete the thread. But this is what we often have to put up with…and this is why our society seems to be going down the shit tubes, because people have to be so adversarial and so full of needing to find BLAME.

The family doesn’t need this; and I hope that by ME putting up with fielding such answers, THEY don’t have to.

So a couple questions about the baby that passed in the river do you know what the carseat looked like when they brought the truck up? was it fully buckled? or what how hard was it to unbuckle it? and will the mother be faced with neglect charges or be made to do parenting classes or charged for having the girl in the front seat in the middle facing forward did anyone ask the mother if this was the first time riding in this truck or was it the 10th cause if she had rode init before she must have known the girls feet reached the shifter and i would say if she had then they should be responsable for there actions and what went on due to there actions right

      First of all…yes, it was fully buckled. Kaylan was able to get one side undone. The current carseats that are mass-produced in CHINA and are inexpensive enough so that everyone can own one–including US–are like torture devices as regards how they restrain. They are impossibly difficult to buckle as well as unbuckle. A more simple device that still restrains needs to be designed. If anyone needs to be the bad guy here, it should be the lobbyists who talked our state legislature into “approving” these kinds of devices. We’re both nearly 50 years old and were never in car seats, only punkin seats, when we were infants and were being taken places (or HELD, for god’s sake, by someone on their lap in the car) and we’re alive through it. So these seats are an abomination.
      In such a vehicle, where the little girl was placed is the ONLY place to put her if others are riding in it. Again, blame the legislators…THEY’RE the ones who said “oh, seatbelt laws will save LIVES.” Seat belt laws are restrictive and stupid and drivers should be allowed to rely on their own common sense, NOT what a legislator TELLS them to do, when it comes to where a person sits and how they should “buckle up” in a vehicle. It DOESN’T MATTER how many times a person has ridden in a vehicle. When we’re mandated by code to sit in a certain position and/or be restrained while in that position, we do it or get ticketed. That’s the way it WORKS.
      The premise that ANYONE should be held responsible for “neglect” in this circumstance is vulturous, insensitive and unnecessary. Accidents happen, every day. We CAN’T foresee EVERYTHING. The circumstances could have been different if just ONE thing of many were different: a different parking place, a different angle on the decline, hell, a different fishing spot, if Kaylan had been able to swim, etc, etc, etc. But all of that combined to make what’s called in this world a tragedy, not “neglect.” To suggest otherwise is simply an attempt at pinning blame on someone to assuage someone else’s grief (and I’m seriously wondering if this is genuine grief, or some kind of schadenfreude). If you’re truly upset, go to your legislator and ask about those child restraint device lobbyists and seatbelt lobbyists, because if ANYONE’S at fault, THEY are. Otherwise, while you’re entitled to your opinion, please keep it off my page. It’s not welcome here; there are too many people who will be hurt by it.
