I would rather go through it myself than let one of my kids make the trip. This. I can't even fathom experiencing that. No kidding. As a father of 3 that would just be devastating.  You know what really puts things in perspective, though? Back in the day-before modern medicine and premier medical insurance and services, and major hospitals and such-families would tend to be larger, with the deaths of one or more children being pretty common. Diseases, farm machinery accidents, getting killed by horse, etc. Tragic, but not unheard of at all. Parents had to carry on while they made a living, and everybody just adjusted as best as they could. No counseling. No anti-depressants. No encounter groups. Just more work so everyone could eat. Probably not enough time to even cry about it. Tough people they were. Tough. Times have changed, haven't they? I think we're all more sensitive to this kind of tragedy now-and I'm not complaining about it, either. Makes me glad I live in the era that I do. |

Can't even begin to comprehend the grief of that stupid, neglectful father.

If that happened to one of my kids I would have a hard time not running into the house and having a 12 gauge snack. I wouldnt have a hard time. I love my kids more than anything on this mortal coil. |

Sickening and horrible. Hopefully, the family can recover and salvage their lives. The worst has probably yet to come.

Any idiot that lets a 6 year old anywhere near a running woodchipper needs to be fed into it themselves. No fucking shit. No way a kid should be any where near one of those. |

Prayers for the family
Dad should have hired a babysitter, since they weren't in school, then gone to work, very negligent. His 8 year old sister was there too. |

There was a guy locally at a paper mill that was in a debarker at the mil and didn't LOTO the machine. A guy came along and fired up the machine. By the time the dude running it heard the screaming it was too late. Uncle had to climb in and remove pieces of the guy for the mortuary.

I really feel for the family. I can't imagine how I could possible go on if that were my son. I would've probably ate a Gold Dot right then and there if I witnessed my own son chewed up.

Doesn't really surprise me to be honest. One of my Soldiers let his 9 year old son try to cut up a tree with a chainsaw... the kid now has no left hand.

Horrible, and people are taking chances because there isn't money for professionals.
Do-it-your-selfers, have to live with the results. Horribly tragic. Thankfully everyone here has been respectful too. |
