Here’s something you’d want to not do if you go back to Cape May.

This lawsuit will not bring their daughter back.

"Hottenstein did not participate in the afternoon plunge that Saturday, but stayed in the resort community that night with friends."Then whats the problem? Their daughter got drunk and either dove into the water, or fell in. What does this have to do with the event?

Who would think jumping in near freezing water would be bad for you?

Why don’t sue themselves for raising a daughter that didn’t have the sense to not go into ice cold water?
To: Daffynition
So it’s New Jersey’s fault that she got hypothermia plunging undressed into the winter ocean???

Loser pays. Any sympathy I might have for the parents is neutralized by this loathesome suit.
Their idiot daughter was a Darwin Award winner and future case on cable’s “1000 ways to Die” show.
I especially like the claim against the ER doctor who declared her dead.

Could have been that, a heart arrhythmia from the shock, a blood clot, or a host of other problems.

When I think of the doc who pronounced her dead I get a chilling vision of pure, dripping EEEEEVIL!

I just gotta ask, what percentage of fault do the parents ascribe to their daughter for deciding to voluntarily take part in the Polar Bear Plunge?
What percentage of the blame did the parents place on themselves for not being smart enough to stop their daughter from taking part in this event?
So whatever this kid did, if anything bad ever happened to her, it would always be someone else’s fault? She’s never responsible for anything that happens to her, ever?

This lawsuit will not bring their daughter back.
But it will prevent any future events such as that wherever they may have been held...........ridiculous unintended consequences.

A product of poor parenting.
The article does not state how old she was at the time of her self destructive behavior.

Wow is right- and here's the money quote:
"Hottenstein did not participate in the afternoon plunge that Saturday, but stayed in the resort community that night with friends."
To: sodpoodle
The article says 35. Yes 35 years old.

"The 35-year-old's body was found about six hours later a half-mile away." When I first read the story, I thought she was an underage drinker (hence them suing the bars and "encouraging drinking").
Then I went to another story linked below that one to find out she was 35.....AN ADULT!.
The parents should have NO LEGAL STANDING for a 35 year old WOMAN....ADULT, for ANY stupidity she enacted to cause her own death.
