Iacisrmma, please reread the above posts from Daas Yachid:
“I just don’t think it’s right to discuss the individuals in the story, and to assume the worst.”
“There is an organization called “KidsAndCars”. They have a .org website with information and articles about this, including a Pulitzer Prize winning 2009 Washington Post article, which very much informed my opinion on this when I read it several years ago.
I will quote one line from the site, which I think is relevant to this discussion, and even more so to some of the disturbingly ignorant comments on the YWN news article.
“…blaming them only deepens the heart-rending impact of these incidents for families who are already overwhelmed by guilt and grief.”
There are halachos about reading news, believing news, and repeating news. Please remember that you are talking about real people. You would not talk this way if they were here in front of you. They may very well be reading this, or others who know them may be reading it. You do not know the details (and have no reason to believe the details were reported accurately), and you have no right to judge.
