[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]

+100.  I wouldn't be able to touch that money. I'd feel guilty and grief stricken every time.  But donating it to a charity that helps other kids, yes.  But assuming the family does get a settlement, I wouldn't dare judge them for whatever they choose to do with the money.   (not saying that you were, PP... just doing a little pre-defense for the people who will yell at me for being judgey). [/quote]

I know you are not judging me.  I think our minds are in the same place. I was responding with my take on the first person I quoted.

[b]But those who are saying Disney will make such a settlement the parents won't need to work again? This isn't like winning the powerball.

I think a number of lawyers here have said this would cap out in the low millions, at least if it went to court. Disney may see fit to offer more if it seems necessary to avoid a court case, but even then, probably not a "never work again" scenario. And again, not that these parents are remotely thinking about that right now, or possibly ever. [/quote]
