3yo ejected from vehicle and killed

:( Is it just me, or does it seem that there are more articles like this making the national news lately? I wonder if it's because there's been a higher number than usual of deadly crashes, or because more are being publicized due to the attention re: restraint laws? If I had to hope for one or the other, I guess it would be the latter, but jeez! These sad stories seem to be everywhere! (Not just this site, either.)

Wow. Two of these in a row... :( I ignored it when first posted b/c I scanned the subject and thought it was still the other thread about the 3-wk old. These are too tragic...

i'm pretty certain it's the latter... remember that years ago crashes were extremely common and until the last 20 years hardly anyone wore any kind of restraint... now we're just hearing more about the unfortunate cases that we know may have been prevented if the drivers and passengers had taken very simply safety precautions. i highly doubt these types of crashes are becoming more common.

we're also hearing more about these crashes because people like those here on the forum are finding stories from all over the nation and making us aware of them... that's the internet age!
