Mistakes come in all shapes and sizes, and I agree that this was a pretty big -- and very tragic! -- mistake. Jaycee's situation is rare, but what about the people who were killed due to mistakes? Do you think their families should be awarded $20 million? What about wrongfully convicted inmates? If so, how do you think the state of CA should pay for numerous multimillion dollar claims without cutting other essential services?
i HAVE TO LEAVE HOUSE SOON BUT WILL TRY TO GIVE YOU A QUICK ANSWEAR. Yes I have seen parents of dead children get money because of big mistakes, and it does not bring their child back
One thing that's interesting to note is that the mother of another missing child (a child who has been missing for over twenty years) thinks that the settlement amount is a bit much. Like a lot of people, she thinks that $5 million or so would have sufficed. She has said that she would not want such a large amount if her child's found because she knows that police departments struggle from lack of funding -- funding that provides resources that are necessary in helping to find other missing kids.There 3 people involved her, that need to be educated and therapy, I do not think that anyone who says it is too much is educated and has a clue what it will cost for them to heal on many levels. ALSO live without a job for the unforeseeable future, probably for ever.
The only thing is, the they in this case doesn't refer to the people who actually screwed up; it refers to the innocent taxpayers who had nothing to do with this negligence. Unfortunately, they're the ones who will have to pay, and they're the ones who will continue to suffer from negligence.
The innocent Tax payers are going to pay anyway, lets face it, there is no way we are not paying for the deficits all over the Country
Well, his days in office may be numbered because it seems like a lot of people are dissatisfied with him for many, many reasons. YES let him go back to the big screen, he is no politician at all
As for the 17,000 perps, that's a recipe for disaster as far as I'm concerned. Out of curiosity, though, how do you think the state should go about parole reform so as to avoid a situation like Jaycee's from happening again? Do you think the $19 billion deficit will make this more difficult? This was not a parole reform, it was a way to save money today, and save jobs tomorrow by creating a revolving door at the expense of innocent people.
