Title: Baby Down A Well
Post by: Shuckins on March 24, 2007, 11:43:32 PM: I don't have many particulars about this incident yet, but this is what I know so far.

The wife and I heard numerous police cars and emergency vehicles flying at high speed down Highway 425 in front of our house. She called her sister, who works at the Monticello Police Department to see what was going on.

There is a dirt race track less than two miles from our house. From what my sister-in-law told us, some children were playing outside the stands at the track when a small child fell down a well.

Apparently, they managed to get the child out alive, and the ambulance carrying the little tyke just flew by our house on its way to the hospital.

We don't know who the child is or who the parents are, but I'm sure they would appreciate your prayers.

As I learn more about events I will post them here to keep you informed.

Post by: Shuckins on March 25, 2007, 01:40:43 AM: Masherbrun,

Thanks for the post. I wish I could tell you that the news is good....but it isn't.

The child didn't make it.

My sister-in-law called just a few minutes ago to tell us what she had learned.

The mother was riding a four-wheeler near the race-track at night, and had the two year child riding behind her. There are conflicting reports which state that the child was in a child-safety seat or was simply holding on...nothing of any certainty about either statement.

Anyway, the race-track maintains a 16x16 foot reservoir full of water which is used to wet the track down before the races. It has a small levee around it to keep the water level constant.

Apparently, the mother road up onto the levee, made a sharp turn with the four-wheeler, and the child was thrown off into the water. The mother did immediately notice that the child was no longer on the four-wheeler until she stopped further down the trail.

We heard that a diver had to be called for to find the child's body from the reservoir.

No information yet as to the identity of the child or the mother.

Regards, Shuckins

Post by: Shuckins on March 25, 2007, 10:01:44 AM: Those are my thoughts too MT. At the very least there is some gross negligence involved.

Personally, I would never put a two-year-old on a four-wheeler, in a safety seat or out of it. And never at night. Having had an accident or two on one I can state that they are just too frigging dangerous for small children.

At a dirt race track you don't typically find a gathering of the intellectual elite. Seeing something stupid probably isn't a rare sight.

Lots of "bubbas and sissies".

Post by: Shuckins on March 25, 2007, 10:18:28 AM: Dago, that is exactly what my wife said last night.

Unfortunately that type of mentality is all too common and widespread these days.

Any chance there is a reason for that mentality? Could it reflect reality even slightly?

If it really was an accident, then she's suffered enough.

She was criminally negligent as far as I'm concerned.

What more can you do to her? What punishment is worse?
Title: Baby Down A Well
Post by: -Concho- on March 25, 2007, 08:01:31 PM: No, but you can use her as an example where others may be more careful in the future.

We don't yet know that a crime has been committed so far the details are sketchy.

If the child was in fact in a safety seat, and the seat itself somehow failed.....how would a crime have been committed? (Not saying this IS what happened, just giving an example of how it could have been purely an accident.)

Good question. I'm guessing it's more likely that a safety seat designed for cars is used with some type of fastening device to attach the seat to the rear rack.

Theres a huge difference between doing something stupid and being negligent.
