This is so sad. On Christmas Day, Robert Aragon got his truck stuck in the snow while taking his children to see their mother. While he and another adult stay to get the truck unstuck, he let or told the chilcren, Sage, 11 (on the right in the picture), and Bear, 12, try to walk the 10 miles to their mother’s home. OK, ten miles? For children? I don’t think so. I don’t know that I could do it myself. And, in the snow and cold. Bear was found barely alive, but was taken to the hospital and was treated & released. Now their father has been charged with second-degree murder and felony injury to a child. Personally, I don’t believe it was murder, but rather neglient homicide. I don’t know what he was thinking to allow these children to walk in the snow and cold like that. However, from reports of his court appearance, he is in a living hell over this. I believe he just was not really thinking when he let them start to walk, and was just thinking about getting the truck unstuck. And then he did not check to make sure that they arrived at their mother’s, he just went home. It is still not acceptable, but we all make rash decisions without thinking. He has and will pay a heavy price for not thinking of his children first and foremost.
