The Railroad is not responsible for this Childs Impulsive Act. I Am Very Sorry This Child Lost Her Legs BUT Its' No Ones Fault But Her Own. If You Want Too You Can Even Say It Was A Tragic Accident. But To Blame The Railroad Company This Woman Just See's A Possible Opportunity To Financially Feed Off Of Her Daughters Tragic Incident and Get Paid.
Most Kids Think They Are Invincible and Many Of Them Do Not Take Time To THINK Before They Make Impulsive Decisions. Sadly This Is The Tragic Result Of This Childs Impulsive Decision.
I Had an Uncle Who Worked As A Conductor On A Train. One Night He Decided To Go Relieve Himself By Standing In Between Two Moving/Still Cars That Were Attached To Each Other. He Lost His Footing, Fell Onto The Tracks and Several Train Cars Ran Over Him Before The Conductor Who Was Relieving Him Realized My Uncle Had Fallen Onto The Tracks.
Needless To Say My Uncle Was Killed Instantly, Parts Of His Body Was Decapitated. During His Funeral Service The Casket Remained Closed Because The Mortician Could Not Make His Body Presentable Enough For An Open Casket Service. As A Little Girl I Learned Early On Through My Uncles Tragic Death That Trains and Train Tracks Are Not To Be Played With or Taken Lightly.
Strangely Enough Throughout My Life I've Known People Who Were Severely Injured By Playing Around On Train Tracks or Accidently Fell On The Train Tracks and Were Severely Injured and Lost Their Limbs.
Common Sense Seems To Disappear At Times For Both Adults and Children and Sometimes Lack Of Judgement Can Lead To Tragic Outcomes. Regardless Of How This Case Turns Out From A Legal Stance, Its' My Opinion That The Rail Road Company Are Not At Fault.
This Child Made an Impulsive DUMB Decision Which Lead To The Tragic Accident Of A Train Running Over Her Causing Her To Lose Her Legs. Very Sad Situation and Parents Need To Do More To Educate Their Children Of The DANGERS Of Playing Around On Rail Roads Because Moving Trains Are No Joke.
