The driver acted irresponsibly and should face the consequences.<BR/><BR/>Glad that your cousin's children are safe.alotedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17293074684237435820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29879114.post-90076651953157585062007-11-16T17:15:00.000+01:002007-11-16T17:15:00.000+01:00This is really sad.

He took a life and probably won't be accountable for his actions. I understand your dilemma though and I'm glad jungle justice didn't catch up with the little ones.Gbemi's Piecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662989311073970132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29879114.post-72691539084593529012007-11-15T01:28:00.000+01:002007-11-15T01:28:00.000+01:00Oh my...is there anyway your family can find the f...Oh my...is there anyway your family can find the family of the girl and provide an anonymous financial contribution?<BR/><BR/>Na wa oh...SOLOMONSYDELLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564768670896215900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29879114.post-90006961004823250802007-11-13T21:48:00.000+01:002007-11-13T21:48:00.000+01:00At age 4/6, i could probably rant off my address b...At age 4/6, i could probably rant off my address but that's about it, couldn't tell you how to get there, or a parent's phone number so who knows what would have happened to your cousins if the driver had been caught and (most likely) killed. Don't beat yourself up over it, it's a shame that our justice system is so warped that pp feel the need to take the law into their own hands with such violent repercussions. I think we could be more productive if we focus on this starting point, and how we can radically rework the system, one step at a time.TheAfroBeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909748861182207942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29879114.post-57649936663163986652007-11-13T16:01:00.000+01:002007-11-13T16:01:00.000+01:00wow.. this is indeed a delicate issue.

I know the Okada people have a way of rendering jungle justice at the roadside or the scene of an incident but if the little girl was still alive, then all he would have done would have been to take her to the hospital. Certainly they would not have denied him that?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16033736249905118938noreply@blogger.com
