2AM..no curfue?? Did the parents know where there kids where...DOUBTFUL!!!

Lets face it. Nothing good happens at 2 AM where kids are involved. Ever. My heart and prayers goes out to the families.

Excuse me as a family friend of one family the kids were at home and snuck out.. They were not given the car!! This is a horrible ACCIDENT !! The boys made terrible choices and payed a horrible price.. So before knocking people know the story!! All your doing is hurting families that already devastated!!

this is such a sad story to read,, no matter how good of a parent you are and involved in there life you CANT stop the unpredictable,, stop bashing the parents or what car the kids drive and FOCUS on the fact that 2 young boys are now dead,,, and if you were the parent how would you feel?? my prayers and condolences to the families!!!

dennis im sorry for your loss,,, and im sorry that your reliving your past yes terrible but we dont know how or what the parents did or didnt do,, so dont judge ,, just keep that in mind and rememeber its a sad incident,,,

U people just don't get that kids will be kids. I had the pleasure to know one of them for many years and I have to say I never met a nicer person. I know for a fact there parents would not allow or aprove of there actions. Just to think that somone would point the finger or blame there parents make me sick to my stomach to see it is worse . R.I.P. kids

please "luke" take time to truly read mine,,, im defending the parents and asking for people to look at the whole part that 2 YOUNG kids are now gone,, so no finger pointing here!!!!

Alec was my neighbor and one of my kids best friends...this was a unimaginable accident and I pray that the woman who left that horrible message realizes how incredibly hurtful and inappropriate that comment was. As a parent regardless of any circumstance losing a child is inconceivable and my prayers will be with both families who are suffering a tragic loss. Alec was sincerely a loving boy and he will be missed everyday in our home. Forever in our hearts. We love you Alec

Please know this is an accident.. no one was wrong. We all did things that could of have an outcome like this.. I am hearing awesome things about the boys and how wonderful they treated people.. please pray for the parents, friends and others wgo have been touched by this... God bless you

I would like to say as a parent of four boys I am devastated to hear of this horrific accident. My 2 oldest boys went to school with Those kids. Now is definitely not the time to try & figure out how, what, & why this happened. People who have negative comments really need to keep them to themselves. This is the time to RESPECT BOTH FAMILIES PRIVACY & have a heart most of all! It can happen to anyone. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. I've never had the pleasure to meet those young boys but I am deeply saddened by this! My heart goes out to their families....

I can't even imagine the thought of losing a child! And there isn't any amount of pain u can compare it to. I hope their families are able to stay strong and get through this tough time. I'm sure they're going to need everyone's strength to help them through this. To b friends an hold them up emotionally, mentally, & physically if needed. Those boys hardly started their lives but during the time we were blessed with them here on earth, I know there are a lot of sweet, funny, exciting, & wonderful memories everyone was left with. And that's what everyone has to keep alive, their memories! They were so young, but GOD called them back home to be with him.. Nobody will never know the answer "why" this happened. Our prayers & hearts go out to both families!

To those of you choosing to criticize the families rather than find it in your hearts to extend a sympathetic hand...it must be wonderful living in your perfect candy land world. Accidents happen, life is not fair, bad things do happen to good people, impulsive kids make poor choices, the list goes on and on. Hindsight is certainly 20/20 the thing to do now is provide kind support to those who have lost so much, not sit on your throne and judge. Godspeed Jacob & Alec.

I lost both of my step sisters a long while ago in a horrific single car accident. Everyone always wants to find the negatives, but no matter what two young boys lost their lives. Prayers and thoughts for the families and friends involved.

For Dee Lee, Those words you wrote are extremely cold and insensitive. Instead of seeing how sad and tragic this is, you point a finger at these parents and pass judgement. You were once a teenager and I'm sure you made poor decisions and fortunately for your still alive. Kids make bad decisions. Sadly these boys lost their lives. These parents don't need you or anyone for that matter to place blame on them. Who are you to pass judgement.

Get real people. Dee Lee is only saying what you dont want to hear. These two, wonderful, awsome, sweet little angels, defied their parents, snuck out of the house, defied judicial authority breaking curfue, stole a car, and ultimately got each other killed. Its not an accident when you directly IGNORE the rules and the laws. And you are all just sympathy sucking because you know deep inside, your kids all have it in them too, to behave the same way. Youre not sorry, youre all scared.

To Erin yes to a degree you are correct does that make you happy to point out other peoples fears and weaknesses it seems to me the answer is yes. Life is a series of decisions and some are by nature unfortunate for our well being but we all make mistakes and not showing sympathy is not a strength you possess rather a weakness. Good luck with your life I truly wish you well even though you seem uncaring and judgmental. How we treat the least of our brothers and sisters is how we treat God. Find Jesus.

Amen to that brother.

Best comment I've read on the patch ever.

Readers....I have deleted the comments that contain obscenities. - SP

Can't believe there is any debate even going on here?????? What is wrong with people? Obviously has never lost anyone close to you. To be able to talk about 2 people like this. Doesn't matter age, death is a tragic thing for everyone involved. For the negative people, curfew had nothing to do with it, and yes that is the correct spelling for curfew. They are ALL accidents, no matter what and nobody wants to be in an accident.
