1294410 2012-08-13 21:08:00 Perhaps I am.
But it's an odd reaction.

My son jumped into a pool when he was 4, straight down, over his head.
Both husband and I jumped in straight away after him.

I can't swim. Husband asked after what I thought I was doing, but it's just a reaction. I sure didn't run next door instead.

In waist deep water I may not succeed but I can't imagine not even trying to get them out first.

Parents heartbroken
Parents of nine-year-old Tayne Bowes, who drowned in a goldmine pond on Sunday, are "heartbroken".

Perfectly wise. Idiot of a father shouldn't have been driving if he had a brain tumor. Still his fault, only this time very obviously so. Hoping he gets taken to court, he was utterly stupid to be on the road it it affected him that much. Either that or it was just a lame excuse.

' There had been no signs of a tumour before the accident, but in the week after the tragedy Bowes could not stand up or speak properly, Foster said.'
''For the whole week he couldn't stand up and was slurring his words. At first we thought he may just have taken a hit on the head in the accident,'' he said.

1294417 2012-09-18 02:21:00 Thanks 1101 and KarameaDave.. just as I said in post#5


Let us not judge this please. I don't feel good about us being critical as we really don't know the full story

I feel some are all to ready to sit in judgement without checking their brain is in gear.

So, this brain tumor wasn't affecting him, then all of a sudden it caused a crash? Reeks of 'lets find an excuse and watch the sympathy flow' to me. It it wasn't major affecting him enough to be noticed prior, it wasn't affecting him enough to cause a crash.
