In Europe ...I am sorry to hear about the accident. In Europe it is required that all vehicles have their bumpers at the same height, so things like this don't happen. I wonder when our government is going to catch up with the rest of the world. <br /><br />I agree with Leila. I think you should contact the family and make them aware of how much it hurt you to see that on the internet.<br /><br />Thank goodness everyone is ok.

I am so sorry about the accident which must have been very traumatic. I hope you are ok and glad nothing worse happened. You seem to know how blessed you are with your lovely family and this is a good thing.

What ...What a beautiful young woman you have there. What crap that it was spoiled the way it was. That is totally apalling that he would be posting on Facebook at the accident scene. I think I'd definitely get in contact with his parents. I'd want to know if it were my kid. But, on the other hand, they did raise him to act like that, so they may just take his side. Thank the Lord that you and your family were OK.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480939903983271555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-6769998539688925272009-09-15T11:11:20.409-07:002009-09-15T11:11:20.409-07:00Happy Birthday to your oldest!

I would say something about the teenager...but don't get me started. I was SO strict with all of mine! Happy birthday to your precious teen! She is beautiful!

We ...I am glad to know everyone is safe and sound. We had a similar accident last year. It was minor, but I was angry. The driver was driving with a suspended license and had no insurance. As my 5-year-old boy says, "Sorry doesn't cut it." <br /><br />And you have every right to post that ridiculous vehicle, he seemed to find it post worthy to show the world wide web. I hope his parents discipline him by removing the vehicle from his possession for a period of time. <br /><br />And Happy Birthday to your lovely girl.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259093208681097116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-33328054156307453822009-09-15T07:15:22.326-07:002009-09-15T07:15:22.326-07:00By smackdown I mean a combination of things: letti...By smackdown I mean a combination of things: letting him in on the other possible outcomes of his actions, which he simply doesn't have the imagination for; letting him know that the small voice inside him that is saying "shame" is the true voice; letting him know that we all make mistakes, sometimes by being dumb and inexperienced and brash, and that the best thing is to own up to them; and letting him know that it's not okay to do otherwise. If his own parents don't do it, someone else has to, you know? Better you than his parole officer later on down the road...<br /><br />Sorry to go on and on...that's why they call me Auntie Leila :)Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432158981260636910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-29707440569381137752009-09-15T07:00:21.829-07:002009-09-15T07:00:21.829-07:00Oh my. Scrolling from your beautiful daughter'...Oh my. Scrolling from your beautiful daughter's face to the back of your van was a bit traumatic.<br /><br />I can only imagine what the real thing felt like.<br /><br />I actually think it would not be a bad idea to share your post or something like it with the boy's family. <br /><br />Maybe your husband has some input on this, even if from afar. Maybe hearing from a serviceman/family man is what that boy's family needs.<br /><br />It is actually a perfectly normal response for a 16-year-old boy to have -- "not my fault" to "that was intense" to "look at me I'm the man!" -- they all act that way.<br /><br />Which is why they need the SMACKDOWN, preferably from their own family. But you can be the catalyst!<br /><br />He's a sociopath in the making...or else a solid citizen if he gets the SD.Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432158981260636910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-808628134057039702.post-67362333334512133942009-09-15T05:17:58.550-07:002009-09-15T05:17:58.550-07:00To you and the Kids, So sorry to read about the u...To you and the Kids, So sorry to read about the unfortunate accident that spoiled the festive day!
