sad that a fetus had to die because of not seat belt

ranay22, Ponca City (11/21/2009 4:44:42 PM)

Dang, the child's car seat was no secure. On purpose? I hope not. I shall keep that family in my prayers.

ranay22, Ponca City (11/21/2009 4:44:56 PM)

oops I mean to say NOT secure

I always hurt when I read stories like this happening. Tragic accidents happen all of the time and I could not imagine what this woman and her family are going through. I am so sorry to hear about her loss and hope that she will recover siftly.

So sorry to hear of this families misfortune. Murder charges will be filed soon.

ranay22, Ponca City (11/21/2009 5:30:14 PM)

why murder charges?

FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/21/2009 5:46:25 PM)

renay22, I think willi is making a reference to the mother whose baby drowned in the bath tub last week when she stepped away for a moment. They charged her with 2nd degree manslaughter.

FUTURE WORLD, Tulsa (11/21/2009 5:49:40 PM)

Ranay22, their rational was she failed to do what a reasonable and rational person would do to protect a child. It could be they might bring similar charges in this case. In that she failed to use a seat belt. Though the child was unborn, Oklahoma law has established that a person can be charged with the murder of an unborn child past the first trimester of gestation. So well see what happens.

Tragic, my prayers are with this mother for healing of her body and soul.

They are very lucky the 3 year old survived.

ranay22, Ponca City (11/21/2009 6:18:29 PM)

I have heard of pregnant women claiming how very uncomfortable it is to wear a seatbelt while pregnant. I wouldn't know, never been there. Either way, I feel for the mother. and T.B'Ville is right, They are lucky the 3 year old survived. Still a little fuzzy on why the car seat was not secured.

Flyover Me, (11/21/2009 7:15:28 PM)

Ranay22..because the mother has a responsibility to care for the fetus. It is just as negligent to use cocaine and cause the fetus to die, as it is to not wear a seatbelt. And, because she did not wear a seatbelt, the fetus was critically injured. That is probably negligent homicide. They are lucky the older child, whose seat was not secured, is OK. That's my view. When the grieving is over, there will be an investigation, I think.

TLFKRF, Tulsa (11/21/2009 7:18:57 PM)

Charges should be filed. This is at best child endagerment for not having the car seat scured and at worst negligent homicide for the killing of the unborn baby due to not wearing the seat belt.

"Only the driver was wearing a seat belt. The child’s car seat was not secured, the OHP said." She was not the driver, so no seatbelt.

tfromtulsa, Tulsa (11/21/2009 9:36:10 PM)

I always wore a seatbelt when I was pregnant and didn't find it uncomfortable.

BayouGirl, Owasso (11/21/2009 10:22:10 PM)

peelumba - at seven months of pregnancy it is a CHILD not a fetus. Babies born at seven months do survive and live. When a woman is pregnant, she is pregnant with a baby.

BayouGirl, Owasso (11/21/2009 10:23:19 PM)

peelumba &Flyoverme

- at seven months of pregnancy a woman is carrying a CHILD not a fetus! Babies born at seven months and younger do survive and live.

willi, T-oolsa (11/21/2009 11:40:59 PM)

Ah Ha! see the mentality of today. There are those who want to file charges. Do you think they are thinking in terms of revenue or responsibility? Me thinks we are living in a police state today due to some of the comments. A tire blew out so we go to tire manufacture for causing that accident. About seat belts, I have had to observe a person dying because of a seat belt.

Ron Ballew, Lawton (11/22/2009 12:43:11 AM)

The driver made three errors, each of which could get him a traffic ticket: (1) driving with bad tires - unsafe car; (2) overcorrecting after a tire blow out -reckless driving; (3) not requiring all occupants of car to wear a seat belt - violation of State law.

An unborn baby can be aborted so it is not a legal being that can be murdered. The driver cannot be charged with the death of an unborn child due to a motor vehicle accident.

Prayers for the injured for rapid recovery and condolences for your loss.
