again try reading the whole article, when i say the story at the end of the article, i mean the story at the end of the article, not the story at the end of page ONE of the article

for those who simply REFUSE to click and read on an article before opining about things you know nothing about here at least is as much of the story i'm talking about, that i can quote from, under "fair use" rules:

So what of Kevin Kelly? What did he deserve?

Would it influence your opinion to know that the day Frances died, May 29, 2002, the Manassas engineer was watching 12 children alone while his wife and oldest daughter were abroad visiting a cancer-stricken relative?

Does it matter that when he returned home that day, he'd asked two teenage children - both of baby-sitting age - to attend to their younger siblings while he went back to school for another daughter who was late getting out of an exam?

Or that during the next seven hours, he was accosted by an air conditioning repairman with news that he was going to have to spend several thousand dollars on a new unit? That he fixed lunch, did laundry, mended a gap in the fence that the little ones were using to escape the yard, drove to the store for parts to fix his air conditioner, took a son to soccer practice and fixed a leaking drain pipe in the basement?

this dude was fucking overloaded, there's no other word for it, plus he thought the two teens were on the job also
