I can understand your frustration at nothing being done to the kid. Perhaps when the traffic report is written out, you can ask if you can file any charges yourself (or have your dad do it). It's like that everywhere it seems.
I met a creep the other day........one with EIGHT, count them EIGHT, DUI's.........and he was still driving WITH a driver's license on restricted privileges. My brother is only on his fourth. I asked someone in law enforcement to explain to me why DUI's and other reckless driving behaviors were not being properly prosecuted, and was told that the jails are just too full for "petty" crimes such as DUI and reckless driving.
Yet, in looking at my county's jail roster, there is a man in jail, and has been there for 30 days because he was caught fishing without a permit. I offer'd to pay his bail and let him out if they'd give a drunk driver his bed, but they wouldnt agree to my terms.
Your family should move here..........we may have drunks driving all over the place, but we keep our fishermen in line, by golly!
Yes, there was a women in a car who saw the whole thing. There may have been more since there was something going on at the school but we at least have one.
That is ridiculous RTG! I didn't know you could even go to jail for not having a fishing license-a fine yes, but jail seems a little wasteful, especially when for some people, that is dinner.
Well, I got to looking at all of the websites people have and decided to give ours a little makeover and updating. Always a work in progress but I was kind of tired of the flowery look. Fun day of going through photos and smiling at the memories.
Mom and dad went to go look at vehicles today since the van is a total loss and found a nice replacement (they sure moved fast, but kind of hard to only have one vehicle when you work out of town). They also went back to take more pictures of the crash site in case they need them. They walked off 16 feet from where dad's scrape marks left the road when he went air born, to wear it hit the sod in front of the school! More to come on this I am sure.
Once mom and dad wrap up shopping, we will be celebrating Baby D's birthday (we already kind of did when grandma was in town but today it is official). DH made the cake, like usual for the birthdays around here. He makes such pretty cakes.
I got her a pair of earrings and I think later this week, she will be getting her ears pierced and getting fitted for her first pair of shoes.
