If dad was driving, he could have had a medical emergency that caused him to drive into the pond. People saying why did he have those kids out past midnight is ridiculous. He could have been a single parent and had to pick a family member up from work or drop them off, and speaking for myself having raised kids by myself, if I absolutely had to do something and it was late, my kids had to go with me. People should not jump to conclusions about what happened. It is just very sad that a life was lost and 2 kids had to go through that.
