LETTER OF THE WEEK
It must be terrible to lose a child and I sympathize with Cindy and Eric
Soto (“Sotos expected to file lawsuit,” March 15). However, I feel the
decision that they and the Wieners have made is not one that will bring
any good to anyone but the lawyers.
They have no idea what it will be like to sit in court and relive the
agony of what has happened and cast blame on a church and a preschool. I
hope they didn’t forget to name the Cadillac, the manufacturer of the
fence and all the other children and adults who were there and did not
throw themselves in front of the car, in the suit.
It hurts me to sit at my computer and write this letter because of two
falls I took as a child. But being the daughter of a doctor I was taught
never to sue. Things happen -- in God’s way -- and some of them are not
good. But we all have to go on, not dredge up the past and ruin the lives
of the people who will be in that courtroom on both sides.
I urge the Sotos to go and watch a couple of similar cases in a courtroom
before they pursue this any further.
And if the lawyers are not doing this suit “pro bono,” then it is the
Sotos who will be the biggest victims of all.
