last time I checked, true freedom includes the freedom to be wrong as long as you are willing to accept the consequences for being wrong.

Not when the consequence of being wrong is somebody else's death. There are plenty of Muslim extremists who are "willing to accept the consequences" of the 3000+ deaths of OTHER people on 9/11. These parents are "willing to accept the consequences" of the helpless young daughter's completely avoidable death. Neither of these positions is defensible via the perpetrators' claiming a right to "true freedom".

I hate to disagree with you, I was raised to understand that their was only one universal crime. And that was being stupid. The penalty can be as mild as being slightly embarrassed, and it can be as severe as death.

When you lose a child it is as if you had died. In fact you would trade places if it were possible. But what gives you the right to say that your values supersede the rights of others. Unless you are personally willing to intercede and take responsibility for the other person. then let the parents handle it.

If they are wrong, ultimately they will be punished. be it in this life, or the next.
