Over course of 4 years, family loses 2 children in freak accidents

How can a parent go on after accidently killing their own toddler.

NEWRY, Maine (AP) — The death of a 2 1/2-year-old boy who was run over by his father’s pickup truck in a ski area was the second accident in four years in which the family lost a toddler.

…especially when only 4 years earlier, a freak accident claimed another one of their babies?

The family lost another son, 2-year-old Samuel, in 2003 following a freak accident in which he was struck by a tree that his father was cutting down at their house lot in Bethel, Fire Chief Michael Jodrey said.

    This did not have to happen for a second time. Somebody should answer for this. As a mother myself this is inexcusable. Once is an accident twice is a crime.

    I know Jim. He works for Bethel Rescue. I remember hearing about the first incident and my heart went out to him and the family. This is a terribly tragedy to happen once… I can’t imagine it happening to me twice.

    How about saying a prayer for Robin, the women lost two children. The second being by the hands of her husband. God bless her, no man will ever know what it is like to bring a child into this world, much less the feeling of loss that accompanies the loss of a child.
