I wonder if the family has contacted MADD. Maybe they can help keep this man off the street once and for all. I too send my prayers to the family, and I also agree that this isn't the place to blame the parents. People these days are all about free speech no matter how classless it is!

Hey Dennis - why don't you knock it off! He was not sledding into the road! His parents were there, his dad was outside with him! His family is hurting. Maybe you should be asking why this man hit Matthew and kept driving, or why didn't the man even try to stop when Matthew was trying to get off the road, or why was he driving. Don't you think his parents feel bad enough about what happened? Do you think you need to pour lemon juice on their open wounds? They will never get their son back, and Mr. Kreibich doesn't seem to care about that. So the next time you want to ask a question direct it at the person why deserves the blame and not at the parents. You have no compassion, because if you did you wouldn't post something about the parents below thier son's picture. I too send my prayers to this family. I am a mother, and I can't imagine the hurt they are going through right now. Please know not everyone is as thoughtless as some people have been when they comment on this tragic story

How unfortunate that drunk driving causes so many heartaches. Unfortunately, it seems to happen a lot. Law Enforcement cannot begin to keep ahead of all the drunk drivers. That leaves all of us innocent people having to be extra cautious every time we are walking, biking, or driving. It's not fair to us, but I don't see an easy solution. When my daughters learned to drive they always told me that they are careful, but I had to reinforce that you have to watch the other people too. A friend was hit by a drunk driver at 8:00 a.m. on a weekday. It can be anyone at any time of the day. It's too bad that innocent people are paying a high price for this problem. God bless all those who have had to pay this price.

Just want the family of this little boy to know that people outside of their community are thinking of them too. We hold them in our thoughts and prayers. Also praying for the other family too, I am sure they are hurting too. May God hold everyone in the palm of his hand.
