Parents are an aspect of everyone’s life at one point or another. Some people might have a good relationship with their parents, a bad one, they may or may not have been adopted, or overall just had a so-so time when it comes down to that with their elder bloodline. Either way you look at it parents are there either for a long or short time in the lives of their children. However, parents are there to instill solidity and responsibility into that of their children. Yet, if they themselves cannot be the responsible ones how can children ever expect to do the same?
A man recently was charged with driving with under the influence of alcohol. Sounds normal enough right? Wrong. The man, whom drove a motorcycle, was not only twice over the legal limit of an individuals blood alcohol content, or BAC, but also had a child that was strapped to the motorcycle as well. In other words, not only was the uncle putting himself and the other entire individual’s around him, but also that of his own nephew.
The Uncle and 4-year old nephew both suffered serious injuries that resulted from the alcohol related car accident. Today, the man now faces not only that of an aggravated assault while driving under the influence of alcohol charge, but also that of child endangerment of his own nephew.
Although this would seem to be a one-time thing, many individuals have been known to not only drink and drive, but to also put their loved ones at risk. Even though it might just be one individual in the car who is drinking and driving, it does not mean that it is okay by any means. Another story is that of a family that was on a leisurely drive back from church one Sunday. As soon as they turned onto their street their home was located on the car was hit head on by a drunk driver killing all, but two, which left the family without a mother, and another child.
Responsibility is an active portion of anyone’s life, but even more so it is what they do with that responsibility makes them the person that they truly are. With children taking everything the see to mind why not show them a world without drinking and driving so that the future generations may exist without the crime altogether.
