re: Family of 11 Year Old that Died of Hypothermia Suing Power Company for 100 million...

According to earlier report The parents did nothing but put some extra sheets or now blankets on kid after playing in snow in a mobile home they said got to temps below freezing when without power for 2 days including 12 degrees the night of his death.

I don’t know their area, but warming places and help being offered all over. I don’t know if power was rolling issue or a regular outage, but if parents did nothing but let kid play in snow night before and had no way to warm him up and did nothing besides wait for power they need to be investigated.

These same parents left him in Honduras making him immigrate by himself.

"He slammed a door and the snow fell on his head and he was laughing so much. We were taking all these photos of him in the snow," she adds of her son.
After playing outside, Pineda says her son went to bed around 10 p.m., while their home was still without power. Although their electricity returned the following morning, "by that time, he was already dead."

The family says the temperature inside the mobile home got down to 12 degrees overnight Monday. Despite several layers of bedsheets, the cold proved to be too much for their son.

If your mobile home is below freezing you might not want to let your kid play outside in snow before going to bed.

I would understand elderly and sick suing if they struggled to help themselves, but if parents don’t fit one of those categories they failed their kid again. Maybe letting kid follow parents was a mistake.
