NOT newsworthy sure...but it hurts all the same...you cannot imagine how me and mine are feeling right now nor can you imagine how this guy must feel doing this..but don't blow something like this off because it may not be 'news' to you but what this says is for parents to be more vigilant...don't put yourself in a position to suffer like he is suffering so that way you won't become the next 'not newsworthy person' in the newspapers
I don't think that he was blowing it off, I think he was just commenting on whether this qualified as "news." I kind of understand what you're saying about life-changing events (my wife and I were almost killed by a drunk driver in 2007), and I don't think Kevin meant to be dismissive in his post.

Also, as to the story - I really don't understand how someone could leave a small child alone like that. I understand being busy, I understand being distracted, but as a parent, there's a certain level of attention you should be giving to your child.

My heart goes out to him and the rest of the family, and I can't imagine going on in life after a tragedy such as this, but really, what was he thinking?
