Terrible tragedy in Indiana
A small Indiana town is reeling after the death of three siblings and the serious injury of another student at a bus stop. A young woman hit the children as they crossed a rural road to board their bus. A horrible horrible tragedy. My heart is saddened for the family and friends of everyone involved. I have a toddler grandchild. I have read over and over, "have layers and layers of protection for your children." Yes, the bus had red lights, the stop arm was extended, but we are human. We can all make deadly mistakes. We say to ourselves, "I would never pass a school bus with the red lights flashing." or "I would never forget my toddler in the back seat of my car." We are human and given the right circumstances any of us could do something to injure or kill another person. So why didn't these children have layers and layers of protection. Parents had complained that the road was dangerous. It was early morning. The driver was young, the age of my youngest daughter. Why couldn't the stop have been located in a safer place? We need to be protected from ourselves because no one is immune from wrong thinking that can cause harm to others.
