    My deepest sympathy to the family. May little Kyler rest in peace. So tragic for all the families.

    This is such a tragedy for the child, family and friends as well. As for the dogs, they were doing what they were trained for. It is sad that this is how we have to live today, keeping animals trained to kill, but depending on your circumstances it has become a reality as some families need this type of protection. Unfortunately, this child went into an area unknowingly that this was danger and it cost his life. I know this family feels horrible that this happened as well since it was their dog. They to would do anything to change this situation, but cannot. A sad thing for all involved. The only good thing we can learn from this and be extra careful with our children. My prayers are with all involved.

    Yes, the childs safe return is ALL THAT MATTERS. There is no wrong/right way of doing things. All that needs to be done is turn over every inch of America in case he is taken off somewhere, that means post it to fb, twitter, etc. so this child may be found. ALL of us can do our part by keeping an eye open in any car we see when we are out and about, and also in public places we go. I know I will as I have my 21 mo. old and I would hope everyone would help.

    I lived down in this area until 1996 when I was 16 yrs old. Since I have lived in the Houston area so I definitely will be on the lookout as I know you are a lost individual in this area. In the meantime, I have a 21 mo. old and if he were taken I have no idea how I would feel, but I know I would turn everything upside down to find my little guy. My heart aches for his family, and also for this child. I pray he is found safe and returned to his parents. I will also keep the family in my prayers as I know they hurt worse than anyone can imagine and they need prayers to help them through all this. This is very upsetting to hear, but a reconfirmation of how quick things happen to a small child. I pray all families will learn from this that they have to keep one eye on a child at all times when in the public. This makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. Please, everyone keep your eyese open when you pass a car with a small child in it, just to make sure that this child is not in the car. I know I would want this to happen if it were my child. Please pray in the meantime.

    In the newer model cars this child should not have fallen out of the car, nor does that child if it is in a childs seat have the ability to open the door as well because the child should not be able to reach the door handle. I do not want to put any blame on the parent, but I do know there are some parents who will not enforce the rules of buckling a child in a seat which is very sad to me, and I hope this is not the case here. If it is, I know one thing, this parent has learned a fear of nonbuckling a child in the moving car. Since I was not there, I of course will not do any blaming, just stating facts. I am a grandmother and have an 18 mo. old and this child cannot get out of the seat he is in, nor can he reach the door as he is to tightly secured in his seat. I pray that the above mentioned did not happen. I hope that this parent had an older car when seatbelts was not a factor, nor were the locks in the door to secure the child from opening it installed. In either case I just hope this child will be okay and that a lesson has been learned by the parent, as well as the child. Small children do learn from mistakes as well. God bless this child and protect it from harm. Let this child and parents have a Blessed Merry Christmas as well.

    So there is an easement where a bridge can be built so as to have your own access to get to the property, and instead the other party decided to just use what was already there, and then further abuse this right because they thought it was owed them....well, then I am wrong to assume you are just being stubborn and not wanting the other party use the road to get to their homestead. The real thing is that the people who own their property off your property knew they had to eventually build a bridge or get locked out (so to speak)...then I too would feel like locking off the road to protect my own property for the safety of myself and my property itself. If these people are using this road because they do not want to maintain a bridge to get to their property, then I have to go along with locking the road, esp. if it is being used by people who really have no reason to be going through this road. This makes a huge difference in my earlier opinion. It is only right that if you want to own property, then it is your responsibility to either build a bridge off the easement or go by way of the river, or even sell the property. I should have realized that nobody would buy land with no access to their property in the future.....things change, and so does life.....use the money to build the bridge.....not a lawyer who is evidently just making money off of you. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND THE MONEY!!!!

    This frightens me because I live on a street that the landowner originally built for us to use when we bought property in our area. The road is rough and abused by us who live here, the developer says he will not repair it, the county says they will not maintain it because it is not owned by the county....so now I wonder if we the owners of the property can have this happen to us since the original owner died and the son is now owner of the "road"....can he lock us out also. It is so sad that people today have no value for someone elses life and livelyhood. I am an outsider looking at this and cannot believe that this family (families) own property and a road that they all thought was a public road now becomes a private road by one landowner, yet the other landowners have had property they own and thought they would be able to visit anytime they felt the need or desire, find themselves now locked out....This is so senseless to me. Seems the owner to the road can be protected against any damages by posting they will not be responsible for any liabilities on this road and then let the other landowners sign it claiming they will not sue for anyone using this road. That would be the most trusted thing to do in my opinion. All parties need to think how it would feel to be locked out of their property because there was no road to it. This is absolutely a sad thing, esp. since the property was sold years ago, knowing there was a road to get to their homestead and all of a sudden due to new ownership they are not allowed to get their home. How would you feel if this was you in this situation?????? You would be fighting mad too!!

    If teachers would ONLY interact with the student over educational matters it would be okay for teachers to interact with a student, but otherwise, I would say no because there should be boundaries between student and teacher. It could promote problems because some children would think that this teacher may be playing her/him as the favorite which would only start rivals between students. This is really a difficult question to answer overall as in some cases it would be good, in other cases it may be a problem. I think that it probably should be for the teacher to decide on an individual basis whether to continue the friendship or not, depending on what the child is looking for. Only the teacher can determine that, along with the parents of the child if there are any questions in the friendship of teacher/student.

    My heart goes out to the family. What a tragedy. They do need to know just what caused the baby's death as they have the 5 mo. old and if there is some heredity factor involved the family needs to know so the 5 mo. old can be checked out. In the meantime, I just simply refuse to go outside with my grandbaby who is a year old once it gets close to noon. They cannot tolerate heat as we can. If you do need to go out take water with you so they can keep hydrated. The very young and old are less tolerant to the heat we are dealing with for the time being. In the meantime, my heart aches for this family and the loss of their precious baby.

    Jennifer, please remember the pain you feel from loosing your father and do NOT repeat this for others to bear in your family such as you are doing on the loss of your father. I tried myself years ago to commit suicide but was found. Today I am so glad that I did not go through with it, but instead went to extensive therapy for myself. I realize now that life is what you make it, and rather than trying to commit suicide, instead try to get a support group started in memory of your father. This will help you so much, and while helping yourself, you will also help others as well. Today I am so glad that I failed as I have grandchildren I would never have known and they would not have known me as well. Life is precious and God should be the one to take us when he is ready for us. I know your father was in lots of pain prior to his death, but the good thing is that he is at peace now. THe sad thing is that he had no idea as to how this would affect any of you, but he had no way of stopping it since he had no treatment which is sad for those of us who need intervention and have no way of expressing it to others that we need the help. Mental health is such a sad disease for those ill with mental problems and feel there is no place to turn but suicide. My heart goes out to all of you, and most of all to your father who just did not have another option at the time he chose to take his life. God bless him and all of you.
