One of the many comments left from someone who signed this petition:
“While any loss of a loved one is painful, to lose a child in this manner is tragic. As human beings it is our responsibility to look out for one another and help in rearing the children of our world and our communities. If only more people would step in and be better human beings and yes, friends, perhaps we could prevent something like this happening. We need to be better neighbors and business owners as well, mentoring and talking to the youngsters in our communities. Be responsible, if you see someone overindulging, put a stop to it, take their keys and call a cab if necessary to get them safely home. A few dollars out of our pockets is no comparison to the cost of a life. If you notice someone in trouble, reach out to them, their friends and their family to get them help. Intervene, don’t just ignore!”
I have been guided to the Buffalo Grove Park District by the Village of Buffalo Grove ~
I just hope I don’t get the run-a-round ~ Buffalo Grove celebrates it’s 50th anniversary this year ~ this would be a wonderful addition to this celebration.
I am trying to forward all this information to any news media attention I can get – WGN, WLS, CBS, ABC, WTTW ~ anyone – even the Oprah Winfrey Show – I can not preform this task as if I email them they have all the rights to my comments posted on the Internet ~ This story of my son needs to be told ~ the parents and children of the North Suburbs of Chicago need to stand up at Attention not deny ~
