Look, I find this story as absurd as anyone, but this irrelevant and honestly means nothing to the merits of the story. Not every hispanic person in Texas is an illegal, so please stop with this shite.
It does matter. If they're illegal they should have zero access to American courts other than getting deported

I am trying to understand a wrongful death claim when they dont have a cause of death yet
Posted on 2/21/21 at 10:51 pm to farad
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.
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.

"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.

What kinda of wafer we talking about here?

Arguably the parents have more of a duty to provide a back-up generator to their own kid than the utility company has to all kids under every circumstance forever.

The forensic economics expert testimony (depo or trial) should be pretty interesting in this one. The parents are probably certain the child was gonna grow up to be a brain surgeon or CEO of a huge company.

Watch it be counted as a Covid death.

Need to sue ERCOT. It is ERCOTs fault. Also need to sue the DOE. Hiden would not allow DOE to waive the CO2 restrictions they placed on fossil fuel generators, so some of those generators were not allowed to generate even though they were available. Some were off-line for maintenance.
Those deaths were avoidable. Need to nail ERCOT for poor planning, plus Hiden and the DOE for not waiving unnecessary restrictions.

Why the frick does this matter?

I don't see how he got hypo in a house covered in blankets.
This makes me want to order an old soviet great coat. The saying was it was warm enough to keep you alive while sleeping in the snow.

Story was many sheets. Which often are worn thinner than a t shirt.
Now its blankets. Maybe the dora translated it wrong. It was the only real job she ever had

When someone speaks like this about a dead child, you realize just how fricked up many people here are.

Because he would still be alive home in Honduras

If they would have put the kid in their bed in between them when he was cold and used their collective body warmth, the kid would be alive today. There is no basis for their lawsuit. If anyone was guilty of neglect, it was them.

I'd start a fire in my living room by burning couch cushions before I let my son freeze to death. Always blaming someone else in this country. Terrible situation, but my son isn't going to die of hypothermia unless I die first and we're stranded in the yukon. Everyone in the country knew about this event far ahead of their electricity going out. Call me insensitive but I can't stand avoidable lawsuits. Money hungry lawyers are a big part of what is wrong with this country.

Someone I know saw the trailer on the news. Said they wouldnt be surprised if it had holes in the floors. Said it was in terrible shape.
