Oh God. I just don't know what to say about this.
I heard it initially on the radio driving in, and hoped it was a misunderstanding. Or an accident - although seriously it was hard to think how it could have been. But a misunderstanding, something that looked from a distance like a child, or a hoax... those I could understand.
This though. I can't.
I just can't.
I understand getting angry. I understand getting furious.
I don't understand the next bit.
Why couldn't he just have walked away? Or kept driving? Or yelled?
Or... anything other than what happened.
Poor child. Poor family.
Oh God.

Heat does strange things to people, so do custody cases.
Anyway, how unbearable for his wife and family.
