Can you say "lawsuit"![/quote]

It was elected official day at the park, elected officials were allowed in the park at no cost. Why does this translate into a lawsuit?[/quote]

Please--there will probably be a lawsuit b/c a kid died a horrible death regardless of parents' professions.[/quote]

Not much good in Kansas.  They have a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages.

The slide was built in Kansas because Kansas is the only state that didn't have regulations to prohibit it.

I know it's wrong, because a child just died, but I wonder how the father feels about tort reform and deregulation of industry now?[/quote]

Yes, it's wrong, you creep.[/quote]

Call it creepy, but there's one political party hellbent on dismantling regulations and this is precisely the sort of tragedy they're meant to prevent.[/quote]

There is a time and place for politics. This is not that time.  Please --please -- seek therapy.[/quote]

Therapy? Seriously? For bringing up the point that regulations can help prevent this sort of tragedy? Wow.[/quote]

Everyone knows that regulations can help prevent safety problems.[/b]  That's an obvious point.  Injecting politics into this tragedy is what is so very bizarre.[/quote]

The Kansas Republican party would not agree with that statement.  They would say that regulations hamper innovation and don't make anyone safer.  Caleb's father is a member of the Kansas Republican party.

Karma is a bitch.[/quote]

I don't agree with Republicans on many things.  But I find your sentiment here disgusting.  This family is suffering a horrific ordeal.  Shame on you.[/quote]

It is a horrifying ordeal. It is a horrifying ordeal caused in part because of the father's political positions and his role in the Kansas state government. The dad contributed to this event happening.  The poor kid didn't deserve it, but his father's positions on low regulation for businesses absolutely created an environment that allowed this to happen.

If Dad was an AA woman who let her child wander into an animal enclosure, people would be ready to burn her at the stake. This father doesn't deserve less criticism.  [/quote]

PP, you are a true asshole.  Regardless of the fathers political leanings, this kid died a horrific death.  His father had NOTHING to do with it!!!!!  [/quote]

His father was part of a state legislature that blocked regulations for businesses.  Lack of regulation contributed to this child's death. His father had everything to do with it. [/quote]
