I don't think it shines any unkind light on wheelers. If the father was a philatelist, an archer or a bowler and had an accident while on his way to participate in his hobby...no one would judge that hobby by his actions. I think it shows that people as a whole don't always think about the consequences of their actions and that having children doesn't automatically make you a parent...some are merely breeding stock.
i have to disagree here...we are already in bad light. here was a drunk father with his kid who was not belted in...Greenies/left wingers could have a ball with this if they choose to.
