I guess they don't teach common sense at Franklin.

I've have some decent accomplishments under my belt. Winning custody of my daughter with no attorney is the one I will always hang my hat on. I have three children now with #8 grandkid on the way. We have a decent life.
However by your standard, I should be dead on a road sign in Burkeville TX cause I was mixing drinks in the truck bed then climbing into the cab while my buddy is doing 80mph and ran off the road looking at me saying that's a good damn drink brother!

Is she suggesting that he was murdered by one of the other boys? I don’t understand, “you don’t think my child…”. Is she just is shock?

Hate to break it to mom, but those 2 sentences rarely go together.
I know lots of intelligent people that have done stupid things that could have killed them. Were you some kind of hermit or something? OR do you just not know any intelligent people?

A curious adventurous youngster snooping around a big abandoned property?
I'm not going to say this isn't one of the risks of doing such a thing, but I'm not going to go so far as to say "the kid got what he deserved!" either. Geesh. Just seems an unfortunate thing that can happen for a kid doing the type of things kids have always done. Hard to say it has any bearing on his "goodness" as a person.
Yep. Lot of sanctimonious hypocrites acting tough in this thread.

No one is saying, “He deserved it!”
It’s just that there’s no point in trying to place blame for his tragic death on anyone other than him and the consequences of his own actions.
You can be responsible for a bad thing happening without deserving that thing happening.

I have a really hard time not having the sads over this. I climbed all over high rise construction sites and abandoned properties. Kids do stupid sh!t. Some would argue it’s the defining characteristic of kids.
And no, I don’t really think the owner bears much responsibility here. Sometimes terrible things just happen because life isn’t lived in bubble wrap.

No, I don’t imagine you do. That would be oddly specific

Searching abandoned property looks like it would be fun. Sucks that he died and I don’t have any reason to think he wasn’t otherwise a good kid, but his death is the result of his own decision and I would absolutely not want the owner to have any liability for the death.

Nothing in what I stated was meant to imply otherwise.

If you don’t have sympathy for this kid, then you don’t have a heart.

tough crowd. the shite i pulled in high school and while i was at LSU should have killed me several times over.

Idiots like this are part of the reason property owners have to be over the top worried about getting sued.
