Senseless

Three more useless deaths. Young adults trying to prove something on the roads, and now three of them are dead. In Freehold, three cars were racing on Rte 33, and one thing lead to another, and three young lives are lost. Where does that sense of immortality come from? At what point in a child's life does this idea develop? I know with my children, I was and am constantly reminding them to stop or they will get hurt. So from the very beginning, a sense of caution is instilled. My oldest has this insane mentality. He thinks he can do anything, with no horrible consequences. My daughter is more cautious. Yes, she still takes some chances, but nothing like my son. And with my three year old son, I see him now trying "To fly". My chairs are launch pads, and my bed is a springboard. How many times have the mother's of those dead boys told them to stop and be careful? And will their loss be something of a reminder to some other foolish "child" to "stop and be careful?"
