It can be comforting to know that your family member didn’t harm anyone else.
let me know about that comforting thought when the police come to your door and tell your child is dead
thankfully most parents in mourning do not get exposed to forums like this and comments about stupid is as stupid does are made in whispers and behind their backs
speaking of brain cells

My 18 y/o daughter lost control of her boyfriend's truck (while doing something stupid), ran off the road, hit a fire hydrant, and then smacked a tree.
The conversation we had about the accident was short. I asked her to think about the moments she had NO control over the vehicle, just before hitting the hydrant. Then I said...imagine the hydrant was a Mom pushing a baby stroller.
