A father accused of reckless homicide for not caring for the safety of his children

A traffic accident can not always be avoided (although if all drivers were cautious, many would be counted less), but the consequences of this can be alleviated by taking appropriate precautions and those established by law.

The case we are dealing with today is very delicate, perhaps you have seen it in the news. The issue is that on Thursday there was a tragic accident on a Tarragona motorway of a car in which a family, parents and three children were traveling, two of the children have died, they were not traveling with mandatory child restraint systems.

Without a doubt, parents could have worried about the physical integrity of their children, children cannot be taken in a vehicle without the necessary protection and safety, the little ones are the most spoiled after an accident, the parents' neglect is incomprehensible . The autonomous police of Catalonia, the Mossos d'Esquadra, has denounced the father of reckless homicide. They value the possibility of reporting him also for falling asleep at the wheel, since the causes of the accident are unknown.

The court of guard of Tortosa (Tarragona) has taken a statement from the father who has released without bail, but the charges are unknown, since this judge intends to transfer the case to the Court of Reus (because the place of the accident belongs to his jurisdiction).

It seems that this is the first time that a father faces the loss of two children and the accusation of a crime of manslaughter for recklessness for not caring for the safety of their children, being able to serve a sentence of up to four years in jail.
