This really angers and pisses me off: Parents sue school over young boys' drinking deaths Friday November 05, 2004 HELENA, Mont. (AP) The parents of two 11-year-old boys whose frozen bodies were found in a snowy field after they skipped class and guzzled vodka have sued the school district for $4 million. The wrongful death lawsuit claims the Ronan School District failed to protect Justin Benoist and Frankie Nicolai III and did not hire enough American Indian staff members, who would be ``sympathetic to the problem of alcoholism and alcohol disease prevention.'' The school district did not immediately return a phone call Friday. Justin and Frankie went missing Feb. 27 after they skipped afternoon classes. A friend found their bodies three days later. Frankie, whose blood-alcohol level was 0.50 percent, died of alcohol poisoning while Justin died of a combination of alcohol poisoning and hypothermia. The boys were members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. Justin's 14-year-old brother, Tyler, was found dead of smoke inhalation in a burned trailer last November. Authorities said he passed out from drinking and had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving. What angers me the most is - where were the parents - drinking took one son - you would think they would be paying more attention to their younger son - am I wrong? I'm not a parent - I don't know - Were the parents drinking 24/7 - I just don't understand. The following crime is not horrendous enough for the death penalty - I kid you not - some guy raped his two year old godchild and only got 50 years - if ever a case screamed for the death penalty - this is it!! I just don't understand. sorry for venting about such horrific stuff - I'm out of here - tomorrow I'm babysitting my 21 month old niece - haven't changed a diaper in years - should be amusing!! Croky - have a good time!!!
