Dear Ellen,
Although I work during the day, I watch your show whenever possible.I just had surgery so I am watching regularly right now. You have always appeared to be a very fair, kindhearted, concerned,advocate for people.I am hoping that at some point the topic of your show can be assisting children to adjust to the idea that life isn't always fair and adults don't always do the right thing, sometimes the legal system doesn't work as it is intended.
I wanted to tell you of an experience that happened to our family, my grandson in particular, that not only isn't fair but a travesty of justice and a very poor example of how our judicial system works.
On July 4, 2007 my family was gathered for a week-end family camping trip. My grandson Jesse, age 12 at the time was also part of this group. At approximately 5:30 PM on the evening of July 4th Jesse along with 4 of his cousins was standing on a bridge crossway over the dam overlooking the river. They were lighting fireworks and throwing them over the bridge rail into the water. They were laughing and having fun. Out of no where two individuals in a truck drove over the bridge,( way too fast for a gravel road in a park) turned around and came back, the driver, who had been drinking, ran over Jesse with his truck. He stopped momentarily, got out of the truck, saw Jesse lying bleeding on the ground, he looked at his passenger and stated." I have to get out of here"and left the seen. Jesse's cousins Chloe and Zach came running back to the camp site to get Jesse's father. Chloe was so upset she couldn't even speak, all she could do was cry. Chris, Jesse's father, went to the scene, found Jesse lying on the ground with this leg twisted, broken and bleeding with the bone sticking out. We called the sheriff and left to follow my son Chris as he transported Jesse to the hospital. The first hospital could not handle the severity of Jesse's condition so he had to be taken to the nearest trauma center 70 miles away by ambulance. My husband and I followed our grandson in our car praying he would be alright. Jesse required immediate surgery, he stayed in the hospital overnight and the next day we brought him back to Omaha where he was admitted to the hospital and underwent additional surgery. Jesse spent the next 12 weeks in a cast, traumatized, in pain, he basically lost his entire summer vacation.Even though he was in pain and in a cast from his thigh to his toes, I never heard him complain or feel sorry for himself. His cousins were all traumatized by witnessing this accident and the driver of the truck it seemed got away. About a week after the incident, the driver was found by the Nebraska State Patrol( through use of his cell phone following the accident and cell phone records.) The County Attorney from the involved county phoned Jesse's father Chris and told him " There are only 148 people in this county and he( the driver) is related to or friends with most of them. It wouldn't be worth your while to press criminal charges,I wouldn't want to put your son and you through a trial when you will never get a conviction." My son didn't press the felony charge and the "gentleman" was charged with a misdemeanor leaving the scene of a personal injury accident. My son hired an attorney, who never handled the case properly, eventually( after charging $900.00) he stated he was turning the case back over to my son and he could pursue it with another attorney if he chose to do so. My son is a single parent and works very hard to support his son, he didn't have the money for the first attorney( who wasn't supposed to collect if they didn't win the case). My son has raised Jesse to be a wonderful, truthful, delightful, sensitive boy. It is very difficult to explain to Jesse how this man, could run over him while he was drunk( he admitted to the sheriff that he had been drinking all day) leave him lying hurt and bleeding on the ground and nothing was going to happen to him, including not paying for Jesse's hospital bills. We had hoped that Jesse would at least have his medical bills paid with enough left to send Jesse and his dad to Disney World to make up for the pain, suffering and the summer he lost as a result of the accident. We had hoped the "system" would come through for Jesse and prove to him that following the rules does work.
Ellen, as you might imagine, it is difficult to teach a child right from wrong and to respect the law when life teaches him people and the legal system can't be trusted. I don't know what, if anything you can do to help Jesse and his cousins get through this,I would appreciate any help you can offer.
The part of the story I haven't told you is that Jesse's uncle ( my son Denny, an Iraq War Veteran)was killed by an impaired driver on July 4th of 1998 Denny was only 28 years old and left behind a widow with two small children. The driver in his accident also got away without punishment, he has since been convicted of 4 additional DUIs.
One of the cousin's that witnessed Jesse's accident was Chloe, Denny's daughter. My grandchildren have lost a lot due to the carelessness of others, they have also learned very difficult lessons about justice, and that the innocent don't always win.We have all had to force ourselves to celebrate July 4th, but now we don't leave town, we don't go to public places, we stay home and get together in our homes where we are hopefully safe from the drunk drivers of the world and those so irresponsible that they can leave a hurt child lying on the road helpless and never look back.
Ellen,
I appreciate your taking the time to read my note, I appreciate all the times you have spoken out on what is right. Please take care and keep up the good work. Your goodness helps us remember there are those in the world that look out for others because it is the right thing to do.
Sincerely,

Janet
