I probably wouldn't have even posted this one except for the reactions in the article. After all, how many times have we seen this happen and about all that can be pointed out is the obvious idiocy of how it happened and to comment with the even more obvious "oh poor baby".

A 3yo child died because he was left in a van at his day care. Family member Kisha Allen says what we all would probably say. The grandmother, on the other hand, makes me scratch my head.


Benjamin Price
Dallas police Lt. Scott Walton said the little boy was left in the van outside the day care after a field trip. The high at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport was 105 degrees Friday.

Family members tell NBC 5 the day care didn't realize Price was still asleep in the van until his grandmother came to pick him up.
[...]

Family member Kisha Allen said she wants answers from the day care where Price had been going for more than a year.

"You know, a kid lost his life because of stupidity. This isn't even a matter of negligence. It's stupidity," said Allen. "It could have been as simple as counting the children as they left the room and counting the children when they got off the bus. Something as simple as counting. You were taught that in kindergarten."

One of Benjamin's grandmothers said she knows the woman who owns the day care and although she has burning questions, tonight she is choosing to forgive the employees.

"Well I can't hold her responsible because God has got this thing in control. It's God’s will, God's will," said Louria Washington. "The time that he gave us, the three years he gave us Benjamin, we just appreciate and thank God just for the three years."

I hope I am never so accepting of a higher power that I think it's going around killing people by making other people stupid. The god I was taught about also gave people free will and expects them to face consequences for using it.

Not everyone will agree with me and I realize this is part of grandma's way of coping but dayum! it almost seems uncaring to me. "Oh well, it was fun while it lasted" should only be applied to lighting fireworks and watching sunsets.
 
105 in Texas feels more like 115. It would take an act of God and all his angels too keep my Mom from crucifying the lame brained bastard who FORGOT rudimentary Elementary skills like counting kids as they leave the bus and then count them again as they enter the classroom, who the fuck forgot to do this?
My God enabled people with COMMONFUCKINGSENSE!
 
"Well I can't hold her responsible because God has got this thing in control. It's God’s will, God's will,"

Gawd, I get so sick of hearing that shit.

God made people to think for themselves and make good from what was given to them. Not so when they fuck up they can call it God's will. I simply do not believe that. Do not.

Tragedy on this level can make one crazy but after the darkness clears, I seriously hope they do right and make those in charge take responsibility's for forgetting little Price.

Precious little one. omg. I'd have their heads.
Rest in peace little Benjamin Price.


It got hotter than 123 degree's inside the car when it was 105 outside. Breaks my heart.

I dont see anything wrong with forgiveness.

Being angry and seeking vengeance will never bring the boy back.

Heaven is supposed to be a much better place than earth, so why not it be God's will? I know many of you here don't believe in God, but perhaps it IS true. What is a little human suffering for an eternity in paradise?

Yep, I'm a bible thumper alright. And quite proud to be! Forgiveness is one of the best ways to get through this Hell we call earth. It wasn't a malicious act, it was stupidity. I can't imagine the woman who left the kid in the car is going to have such a nice life from here on out. I applaud grandmom. What sounds like idiocy to some of you sounds like divinity to me.

I wouldn't call it idiocy but despair.

I believe in God plenty, I've even tried to abandon my faith but it just won't leave me. I guess it is true; he is with you always.

What upset me is it sounded so dismissive, flippant, almost uncaring. AND there should be justice for little Benjamin regardless of her faith. I hope they seek that for him. She's no doubt in shock and to seperate herself from the hurt and tragedy is probably the only way she can cope and cling to sanity, not to mention it is in her faith.
I can only imagine the horror of living through such a loss.
I KNOW MY HEART WOULD BE FULL OF SORROW AND ANGER over such a thing. I have faith and I belive that love prevails at the end. Still, I know my heart and if it meant the loss of my child from such a preventable, neglectful act, I would be beside myself in despair.

Sometimes in a place where we judge everyday, I forget that a person's loss is a personal thing. Does't mean she didn't love her grandchild, her Benjamin. ...means more likley that she is devasted and is leaving it to God to pick her up when she can't stand on her own. I get that, I do. my heart goes out to them.

Rest in peace little Benjamin Price.

That statement makes my stomach turn and feel funny, and not the good kind either. What if baby boy was tortured before passing? Not saying it happened here. But what if we were reading about such a thing? Should we also feel appreciation and just accept?

I am a believer in God, I don't apologize for it, nor shove it down anyone's throat. But fuck me sideways if that statement just makes me feel as if we should just lay down and "accept" what is for us. * just smh*
