Tragic Deaths in Driveways

The death of another child who was backed over in his own driveway had prompted authorietes to urge parents to be aware of their children at all times and make sure that the coast is clear before reverseing out of their houses. A three year old boy from Sydney joins two other childern who have been killed by the family vehicle within a six day period. The mother behind the wheel of the four-wheel-drive BMW was in shock following the death of her son and is being given counselling. Among the previous two victims were a two year old boy from Melbourne who was struck by his mother's four-wheel-drive along with his grandfather, and a two year old girl who was also from Sydney and was run over by her father in her driveway. Such deaths are heartbreaking and tragic and not just for the loss of the children, as I have no doubt that the parents responsible will never be able to forgive themselves and will regret not looking behind them for the rest of their lives.
