Parents Of Boy Who Died In Icy Md. Pond Sue Real Estate And Construction Companies

The parents of a 10-year-old boy who died in January after falling into an icy pond in Montgomery County have sued several real estate and construction-related companies, asserting that they failed to keep a mandatory fence around the pond that would have kept the child out.

“Had the defendants acted properly, D’Angelo McMullen would not have died,” the parents’ attorney, Andrew G. Slutkin, wrote in a complaint filed in Montgomery Circuit Court on Wednesday.

The parents are seeking millions of dollars in damages, Slutkin said.

So the parents would have sued them for not putting a high enough fence around the pond when he would have climbed over it and then drown anyway!

The parents should be charged with child neglect.

Agree with above.
These "parents" are just trying to make some coin off their children's stupidity and their lack of supervision or child rearing.
The site was inspected and approved for work to continue.
They have no case when in fact their children probably tore the fence down anyway.
I am sorry they lost a child. It must be heart wrenching, but they have to accept the blame and move on here.

What the heck is it with people like you that think someone with deep pockets should pay for a tragedy where the kid fell thru ice.
This is nothing more than a shakedown, a lottery play to try and profit from their kids death.
These people have been persuaded by a slick scumbag lawyer to go for the money.
Who do you think pays for this?
I'll give you a simple answer. You and I pay for this!

Maybe the parents should have been watching their child and this wouldn't have happen

Looks to me you are doing a lot of assuming. And your comment and attitude are ignorant. Go back under your rock.

You are assuming a lot also. Either both of you are stupid as hell or you are the same person. Regardless, both comments are ignorant and low class.

Or maybe you have a crystal ball that tells you more than what is reported. And it is because of people like YOU that we have so much strife and hate in the world.

Now go do your homework and get ready for school. You need as much as you can get.

Your 'answer' is so simple, because it is false. lol. Man, you need to stay away from adult conversations and stick with your game boy or whatever it is you play.

Unless you are an owner of one of the 4 companies being sued, you will not be paying anything. You really should read ALL of the article before you open your wind tunnel.

Unless you like looking stupid, which I would say you have a lot of practice at doing so.
