[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I'll add, $6 mil is probably nothing to that family either, in comparison to the permanent lose of their son. [/quote]

I think Disney should make a big payout but as a parent I would not be able to live on millions given to me due to the gruesome death of my child.

I would probably take the money and put it to good and making the world a better place by doing something like creating a charity or scholarship in memory of my child.

But use that money to buy boats, decorate my house, go on vacations and eat out? No friggin way.  I could not live a life of luxury from blood money for tue death of my baby.[/quote]

Ah but the vacations and date nights would probably help their marriage which I'm certain has taken a big hit.  Also a lifestyle upgrade would benefit their other child who is probably going to have hard times growing up in a grieving family.  I'm sure most people would spend the "blood money" to help themselves cope.  A vacation to help a couple struggling to reconnect and on the verge of divorce over the preventable death of their child....I wouldn't think less of them if they did spend Disney money to help their marriage and their other child.

I'm pretty sure this couple won't be able to go on vacation ever again. How exactly will they do that knowing the last time they went, they came home without their 2 yr old??[/quote]

I'm not saying that family fun type vacations wouldn't be hard for them.  But a change of scenery might be healing.  Staying at home, seeing all the tangible reminders of him (the spot he used to sit at, the toys the kids played with together, etc), seeing all parts of one's life left blank where he used to fill (don't need go to the music and movement class for him anymore, etc), seeing all friends/neighbors/family/acquaintances who might not know what to say/might say the wrong thing.  Yeah, if they were my friends, I would suggest they go on vacation.[/quote]

Much different but 2 yrs ago Will McKamey was a frosh at the Naval Academy who passed away after a head injury while playing football for Navy. He was already 18-19 and out of the home, but I read a recent interview in which his parents said that they ended up selling their home and building a new one in a new part of town. It was very much the same reasoning -- everywhere they looked in their old home, they could see where their son played football in the yard; where he posed for prom pics with his date just 6 months prior; his chair at the breakfast table; his work out bench set up etc. I imagine it's just like that for this family now -- they were going away for a 1 week vacation. They come home to his toys all over the playroom floor. His laundry in the hamper etc. And then they have their 4 yr old reminding them about their son -- I mean not that they're not thinking about it 24-7; but if they get a 30 second break, I can see  4 yr old not sensing that and saying something about her brother. Apparently that was a big thing in the Newtown tragedy -- brothers and sisters asking if their deceased bro/sis could ever come back to play; or how much they missed them or whatever.[/quote]
