Our parents are dead and we are mad about it. Our parents did not deserve to die at the hands of a selfish and wreckless woman that could not resist the urge to text. She was texting while traveling at a high rate of speed on a Texas highway on Novembert 12, 2007. What makes it even worse, she faces no penalty for killing two people. She has not received a traffic citation, no criminal charges, no driver's license suspension...nothing. She hasn't even paid a fine. She crossed 3 lanes traveling south, a wide grassy median, and 2 more northbound lanes when she killed our mom on impact. Our dad remained in the ShockTrauma ICU for 40 days until died. To add insult to injury, her driving record shows the accident was non-fatal. NON-FATAL???!!! Were our parents just non-existent. What a slap in the face!!! Its like telling me that our mom and dad were debris on side of the road that merely required clean up. NON-FATAL, as if no human life existed in the car that our parents were driving.

WE ARE ANGRY!!

Sadly, if a person is caught texting while driving, its nothing more than a petty misdemeanor. If someone kills two people while sending a text message, according to the grand jury in Brazoria County, TX...No Bill, No Indictment, No Punishment, No Fine, No Probation, No Citation.


Is that justice?
