I can't fathom what they must be going through as a family. My thoughts go out to them.

I feel so horrible for that brother.

He's going to feel that guilt for the rest of his life. :(

5. If you're the parent, what do you say??

You're grieving, you're angry, but you know your kid didn't mean to do it.
