The Story Begins...

On February 4, 2001, my son was given permission to ride his bicycle on a 55 mile-per-hour Highway, unsupervised and without a helmet, where he was struck and killed. The deceitful coward, who perpetrated this crime, had promised me my son would never be allowed even near this dangerous Highway. Contrary to child endangerment laws, the commander of the Lake County CHP told me that it is not illegal to allow seven-year-old child on a dangerous 55 mile-per-hour Highway, unsupervised and without a helmet! Although allowing a child to ride a bike without a helmet is a vehicle code violation, the commander told me it is not a "citable offense."

When the California Highway Patrol arrived at the scene of my son’s death, they immediately determined who the driver was. Besides recently discharging off parole from his fourth prison term, he was also a registered, habitual, drug and alcohol offender, and had two serious DUI's pending with heavy amounts of drugs and alcohol involved. Six days after receiving these two serious DUI's, this criminal struck and killed my son, under suspicious circumstances. Although evidence gathered by the CHP proves he was also driving over the double yellow line in a reckless manner (see photo on left), he was allowed to drive away from the scene of my son’s death, without being properly tested for drugs or cited for driving over the double yellow line!

Why would competent members of the California Highway Patrol allow this criminal to drive away after killing a little boy, without taking the appropriate action? Read on to see why.
