Seems that a lot of folks had the dose on their Stupid Pills increased lately. For instance, there is a couple from New Hampshire, Suzanne and Todd Connell, that happened to be at SeaWorld back in February with their 10 year old son, and witnessed the trainer, Dawn Brancheau being pulled by her hair into the water by a Killer Whale, and drowning.
I can't imagine being witnessing something as horrible as this as an adult, never mind as a child, and neither can this New Hampshire couple, they are suing SeaWorld for the trauma the tragedy caused their son.
"There seemed to be no plan as to what to do to save Dawn," the lawsuit said. "The SeaWorld employees were acting in an unorganized and chaotic manner."
Ya think?
Oh, I don't know, maybe Dawns family should be the ones suing since Dawn was obviously the one traumatized the most. No matter how you argue it, the victim is the looser, the witnesses don't even place.
Accidents, and tragedy's are just that. They happen. It's life. Unfortunately, a lot of the time they happen when someone is looking.
Give the kid a hug, show him you love him, and be there if he is scared,or has worries. That's what parents do. That's what you should continue to do. Money won't give you the power to do it better, or longer, or with more emotion. The money would always be the money that the kid was paid because he watched a girl get killed by the whale, and nothing more.
Wouldn't the money be a reminder of something the child would be better trying to put behind him?
ReplyDeleteYep, that's what he said.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be selling plenty of stupid pills down here, too. Maybe if everybody just takes a good dose of castor oil? Lydia Pinkham? Father John's Medicine?
