My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the victims.

Maybe people can learn from this.  They should not have been playing with that device...period. 

It breaks my heart that tragidies such as these are the only things that wake people up to ignorance.

I understand that these families are grieving.  And that fact that the public is so interested in this story can only make matters worse.  When a child is lost through lengthy illness or accident, one is usually allowed to grieve in private surrounded by family and friends.  Grief is a personal process and the added burden of public scrutiny will only add to the already arduous task.  Perhaps rather than come together as a community and support these families, we should leave them alone in their grief.  Here we are speculating as to their needs.  Has anyone thought to ask them?

No parent expects to outlive their children, especially one's so young. These families will never be the same. They will have to endure empty birthdays, the holidays, the annivarsary of this horrific and devestating day of their lives, and wonder to themselves what if for a lifetime. My heart goes out to them, as it seems like they have a life sentence on their hands, and what they really need is communitty support, not condemenation and blame. Our children are an extension of us as parents, and to see a candle snuffed out so early on before its light has really began to shine is such a loss.I would not want to be in their shoes. To know that a communitty is not behind them in their time of need and sorrow has to be as bad as their losses. If they cannot count on their community for support in such times of tradgedy, then this to is a miscarriage of justice.

We all need to come together and pray for the children and the families who are grieving. We all know that what happened was a horrible accident. If something like this happened to you...you would want the support  from people not the negative and pointing fingers. Understand that the families are suffering right now and they all don't need this other BS. They are suffering and will be for a long time. He is already  suffering knowing that he caused two children's deaths and injured other children for the rest of his life he doesn't need anyone else making him feel worse, i am sure he will blame himself for as long as he lives so he doesn't need any help from anybody else. I can understand if it was purposely done or even if he didn't even feel remorse but he does and I know because I was there yesterday with him and the rest of my family mouring for both children and there was not a moment where he would smile and laugh instead he could barely talk anytime the phone rang or someone came to the door to offer their condolences. I myself am still in shock about this whole thing, I woke up this morning with practically no voice from all the grieving that I did for both Jeni and Andrew, and I still can't believe what has happened. Please leave the families alone we don't need this we need your prayers instead and your support. I don't know and have never seen one single parent who would let their children go outside and play for hours and watch them every single second of the time they were out there, instead we tell them to check in like every 30 minutes or we go out there to make sure they are where their supposed to be, we set boundary's on where they can play and have fun with there friends so to all of those who are blaming the parents need to go take another look at themselves in the mirror if they have children. we all need not to judge for there is only one person who can and that is GOD.

There are too many people making comments, that don't even have the story straight.  First of all this was not a daycare.  All I’m saying is that before people make these "snap judgments" maybe they should get the whole story.  And I feel for the parents and guardians involved, but I also feel for Mr. Sendejo, none of us can possibly know what he is going through right now.  this was not just some child, this was his family, and not only has he lost a family member, but he is also having to deal with all of the animosity and ill comments from strangers, who probably don't even have all of the facts to make such judgments.  My heart goes out to all involved, all family members, and the family of the little girl whose life was also taken.  The way I see it, the families are dealing with enough, let alone having to read some of the terrible things that people are saying.  Show some compassion for everyone involved in this awful accident, and that’s exactly what it was, an accident. 

Unless you have never passed judgment when watching a news story, you are a hypocrite.  Whose fault did you think it was when the children died at the Riverwalk? Or the fountain at the Gardens? Are you one of those who think it was the City’s fault for installing a water feature? Just because this happened to you gives you no right to shake a finger in a public forum at those who are expressing a point of view in opposition  to yours.  If you don’t like the comments on this board, stay off it. 

My daughter and I know the Klawitter's personally and my daughter went to school with all of these kids.  My heart broke when I heard of this explosion.  To see and hear the devistation it has caused in our little community has caused me to sit back and think.  Everytime I hug my little girl now, I think of Jeni and Andrew and I probably will for a very long time.  This is not the time to lay blame!  This is the time to react and do something about it!  I hope we can come together as a community and take a stand against the useless killing of our children.

My heart, my love and my tears are with everyone involved.  These children WILL be remembered.

"TRAGEDY" Spelling corrected! 
Prayers to all!

I don't remember Mocus ever claiming to be a Christian.  He just defends whatever he thinks liberals are attacking, and attacks whatever he thinks liberals are defending.

In other words, Mocus lets liberals do his thinking for him.  :-)

My prayers are with the rest of the children injured and the family and friends to these children.  You all talking smack should be ashamed of yourselves.  These kids have been killed or injured and all you can do is talk like stupid idiots.  Just think what would have happened if this was your child.  Would you be on here talking like this?  Or would you be on here wanting to read peoples thoughtful and gracious comments about your children and their friends.  You are the adults, try thinking about who and what you are talking about.  This day in age we all know that people don't really watch their children like they should, and we know we only have ourselves to blame for that, because we don't make time for it.  However, just like (dgrealish) was saying sometimes you just have dinner to make or step away because a baby woke up, you just never know.  Maybe someone could have taken the bullet away from them, but their mom or gardian went in to use the little girls room, and all of a sudden the kid has the bullet again and takes it outside hits it against the table one time and it explodes.  Who are you going to blame know?  Surely not the mother or gardian that put it up.  Are you going to blame the small child that is dead?  Wake up this stuff happens all the time, may GOD BLESS all of you who are passing judgement and saying harsh words towards people you don't know.  And talking about a situation you know nothing about.  I hope you all talking crap, wake up one day and realize GOD has made you realize it's just an awful tragedy. 

Mocus
You're the one who professes to be a Christian.  I'm asking you why you don't follow the tenets of a religion  you claim you believe in.  It doesn't matter what I believe in.   YOU say you believe in Christianity, so why not act as though you do.

accidents happen, said to say but true. Prayers to all the families.

A tragedy any way you slice it.

It's curious to me to compare the blame-the-parents postings in the Riverwalk drowning with the support-the-parents motif here, though.
