 I think we need to be careful with comments suggesting if the boy who initially lied about the accident had told someone sooner, Zane would've lived. The truth is, we don't know that. I can imagine it wouldn't take long for suffocation to occur under so much dirt. That's a morbid thought, I know, but I really think it's important to realize that even if the boy reported things as they were instead of lying, his friend may have still died. What a heavy and horrible thing to have this little boy deal with.  It's an exceedingly sad situation any way you look at it. Mercy must be given to this young kid who feared getting in trouble. Quite honestly, he may not have been afraid of a slapping or whatever, but it may have been the case that the boys weren't supposed to be in the sump area in the first place. I can't imagine such a tragedy happening when I was young. We really don't know what went through his mind. I'm guessing panic..Who knows? When we're kids, we don't think...
