Heartbreaking!!
Most of you know I'm the mother of an almost 4 year old little boy... So that's probably why seeing this story about a local family has broken my heart. A five year girl named Heavenlee is now paralyzed after being involved in a car accident right here in Terre Haute. What makes this story even more tragic is Heavenlee wasn't properly belted into a child restraint. I see parents driving their children without child seats and it enrages me. But now I'm even MORE HORRIFIED to learn that in our state, not properly buckling up your children, will only cost you a $25 fine... even if your actions results in a child never being able to walk or breathe on their own ever again...
I'm attaching a link where you can go to see more details about this story and see pictures of this beautiful child, Heavenlee-Angel Johns. This link also provides the info you need to speak for Heavenlee and other children like her. We must demand that our local and state governments stand up for our children when they can't stand up for themselves!
