Who knows? Still very hard to blame the family, who has suffered such loss..

Children are very quick and can dash out in the street regardless of how well they are being watched. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this family at such a very difficult time.

Such a very sad thing for all concerned.....to lose a child is a horrible nightmare for the parents and equally so for the van driver, both of whom will forever carry the incident in their hearts forever. My only question - did the Daily Herald really need to show that picture?
Respectfully,

It is not unusual for the DH to have what I consider to be inappropriate pictures in it. In this case, particularly inappropriate and heartrending.

I know they do tend to show the gory details. I always wish they'd show respect for the families involved, and in the case of a child - just my personal opinion, but I do think they could have spared the photo and still have gotten the point of the article across. Good taste and basic consideration for all involved should have prevailed...... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Lesley--I hope someone there could make a complaint to the DH and at least get them to remove it from the online version.

I haven't seen the story online yet, but today's regular DH says that officials have reviewed the surveillance tapes from the airport and that charges will probably NOT be filed against the shuttle bus driver.
