I understand the desire to make this more than it is due to Mothers' Day, but really it isn't more or less tragic than any other day when families face tragic car accidents.

Additionally, for me anyway, I'm most glad it was only the two boys and not some other family killed by their drunken, reckless driving, which really knocks my sympathy for the boys or their family who apparently didn't monitor their drinking or driving very well. If that car had hit some other person(s), even if they had died, I doubt we'd be having sympathy for the drunk teens.
