Child safety locks. Condolences to the family.

condolences to the family. unbelievable tragedy. the law says kids of that age have to be placed in car seats especially for kids.

HOW TRAGIC... HORRIBLE NEVER LET A SMALL CHILD OUT OF YOUR SIGHT...NEVER.. YES SAFETY LOCKS=GOOD IDEA THIS SADDNESS BREAKS MY HEART MAY ABBA FATHER GOD=LORD-KING YESHUA=JESUS CHRIST= MESSIAH SURROUND & COMFORT THE PARENTS & FAMILY... DURING THIS TIME OF DEEP GRIEF I PRAY IN LORD-KING YESHUA= JESUS CHRIST'S HOLY NAME IF IT IS OF ANY CONSOLATION THE DEAR CHILD IS NOW SAFE & NOT SUFFERING IN THE ARMS OF THE LORD GOD SHALOM...

The article seems to contradict what occurred. "According to a police statement, it seems the child was killed by his father when he reversed the car, unaware that the former had exited the vehicle. " and "Rosh Ha'Ayin Police Commander Brigadier General Ratzon Peretz said that the father assumed the child was already in the house and hence began to back the car up." I think the difference is important in order to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring. Baruch Dayan Emet.

since you started posting on ynet, i have always liked your posts and comments. they are humane, intelligent and sensitive. one can always be on the other side of the fence that separates us, but, your humanity is welcome and we thank you for it. i wish there were more people like yourself. god bless and protect you, my friend, a true human being. an israeli mother

I am assuming from article that this happened to a Arab family.. Hence the reason for #1's compassion...

"I am assuming from article that this happened to a Arab family.. Hence the reason for #1's compassion. I'm pretty certain you are possessed with hate, and completely unaware you just made a fool of yourself. More pertinently, a true tragedy. The family must be devastated. My condolences. But, I have to admit I can't understand how an 18 month old can step off a car without falling. Perhaps the kid exited with another adult who let the kid roam not realizing the dad intended to move the car? I hope that's not the case as it would add to the pain.

Are we not all Gods children?

eventually conquer their sadness

There is nothing that can be said to this family to console them. But I hope that they have a lot of family and friends who will not leave their side while they mourn...and afterwards. And, Ahmad, thank you for your kind words.

I repeat what I said in a previous post. Child safety locks. Makes it impossible for a child to open the car door unless released by the driver. Tons of questions, of course. Was the child in a car seat? Should have been. Strapped into his car seat. But, in the event that a clever eighteen-month old knows how to release the restraints on his car seat, you get child safety locks to protect the child from opening the car door. I do not care if this child was Jewish, Arab or martian. With a bit of care, this needless and tragic death could have been avoided. Isn't that really all that matters?

G-d has given and He has taken. My deepest condolences to the bereaved family. May Almighty and Gracious Creator comfort the parents and compensate them with a blessed new baby. תמיד ברוך השם
