Parents Back Over Their Kids, Sue Federal Government
26th September 2013
Consumer advocates and parents who accidentally backed over their children plan to sue the federal government, forcing it to issue a long-anticipated rule requiring automakers to help drivers see behind their vehicles.
“If it takes this kind of action, that is what we’re going to have to do,” said Greg Gulbransen, a New York pediatrician who accidentally backed over and killed his son, Cameron, in 2002, and is a plaintiff in the lawsuit expected to be filed Wednesday. “We’ve tried so hard for so long, and now we’re stuck.”
I’m curious as to why this guy isn’t in jail for negligent homicide.
Gulbransen marked what would have been Cameron’s 13th birthday this week. “Can’t we just get this thing passed, get this thing through?” he said. “There are so many children running around that are about to be backed over and killed by the parents because they can’t see them.”
There are times when the term ‘clueless’ is just totally inadequate.
