No matter how much you lead your children, they will still try to do what they want. Jim was taught to wear his seatbelt, but like all other teenagers he never thought it would happen to him! This is a terrible loss but you can't place blame.
Wear seatbelts. There is no excuse. Parents, pay attention and take the lead.
It is so sad that people don't realize how dangerous an SUV is. I have an SUV, so I know that you have to be careful. They do not take curves, very well. I pray for the families of these young people. If you have an SUV, be careful.
SO SAD SO YOUNG I PRAY FOR BOTH OF THEM
