24. Sadly, it usually is a loved one who accidentally kills the victim
They try to deal with the tragedy by burying themselves in lobbying their legislator(s) to pass a law "So that this will NEVER happen again." Megan's law...

I am not downplaying the tragedy, but these guilt-ridden legislative actions do not stop "it" from "ever happening again."

Children are still abducted no matter how punitive we make the crime. stiffer penalties against DWI offenders have not stopped "it" from ever happening again.
