if he was 16 he cleary was not wearing a seat belt

you are probably right but it doesn’t lessen the grief and lose his family is experiencing. My in laws live in that area, it is a small community and I am sure everyone there knows this young man and his family. I for one wouldn’t want people making judgements if it were my son or daughter, as I am sure you wouldn’t either.

i was just responding to the story that listed yesterday when everyone was thinking the unforturnate victim hear was a younger child and people were thinking that they were not wearing a seat belt, or was not in a booster seat, etc. that was all. I was not making any judgments MOM! RIP YOUNG MAN

Sorry. But u guys have no room at all to judge about him. Russell was a great guy. And that whole not wearing a seatbealt= irresponsibility=teenage=blame the victim, is not correct at all. He actually was WEARING HIS SEATBELT. Don’t blame anything on the victim.
