OK, you're driving your 11 and 12 year old children to their mother's house so they can spend Christmas with her.
It's snowy, the wind is blowing, and it's below freezing out.
Your truck somehow gets stuck in the snow. You are 10 miles of highway away from your destination.
Do you
A) Tell the kids to stay in the truck while you work to get it out and continue on getting your truck unstuck?
B) Call the children's mother to come get them while you try to get your truck out of the snow?
or
C) Tell the kids to bundle up and walk the 10 miles to their mom's house while you get your truck out of a snowbank and go on your merry way?
Guess what some trogladyte in Idaho did?
This idiot caused the cold, lonely death of his daughter, and almost killed his son to boot. I feel very sorry for the mother, who is innocent in this, and I really pity the son. He's going to question himself over whether or not he should have gone with his sister or forced her to come with him for the rest of his life. And that's not to mention the little girl that died cold and alone when the parent who should have died for her was warm in a nice heated truck.
But for the moron who put those two children on the highway and sent them on their merry way? I hope he gets life without parole and is forced to have pictures of his daughter taped to every flat surface in his cell.
This isn't a momentary mistake that went wrong. This was an overt act of stupidity that he could have either not done or stopped at any time. It took those kids a long time to get too far away from their father for him to get them and bring them back. He could have stopped them and prevented a stupid mistake from turning into a tragedy.
I hope he rots, and I hope he lives a very very long time with what he's done.
