5 children killed in car crash in Westchester County
Five children were killed in an unimaginable tragedy in Westchester County early Sunday. They died in a car crash on the Hutchinson River Parkway, and police say the driver was just 16 years old. His grieving father told CBS2's Lisa Rozner his son shouldn't have been behind the wheel.

How did he REPEATEDLY get access to the keys w/o a license to be making long distance interstate journeys, in this case after midnight, on a seemingly regular basis ?! God rest their souls but the mind boggles at the particulars of this story !
His mom, older brother & I told him to stop driving, that he could get caught & charged with driving without a license!? Words without action. Those "talks"were a waste of time. Now look at the consequences!
Youngest age 7. Survivor age 9. At 12:20 AM . The middle of the night??!!! CT & NY is not a short side street drive. Not only this tragic accident happened but the kid could have killed so many others. Very sad but those parents are 100% responsible.
I don't understand why a 16 year old teenager is driving at 12.00 am in the morning with little kids as passengers in a car.

Terrible parents. People that have no business being parents. That's right, I'm gonna say it. If you allow your young minor children to hang out all hours of the night unaccompanied by a responsible adult, you are a terrible parent. Not like people that allow this to happen care about that anyway.

The father should be held accountable for not stopping his son.
There's a lot more to this story that is not being told. If there was a 17 y/o in the car why was the 16 y/o driving? Why was the survivor in the trunk of the car? Dad doesn't sound like he's "grieving". At all. He's busy blaming the dead driver. "I told him. His mother told him". What?? And at midnight? From NY to CT to NY again? Nope, we're not being told the whole story.

I just can't hear anymore excuses or stupidity from parents about how they're not parenting, no supervision, & kids are easily getting guns & car keys to go out & killpeople. Charge & convict this father & mother, whoever's car it was.... and everyone everywhere who gives their kids the means to go out & kill people. Wonder if/what the cousins' parents knew as well & allowed it? With this unlicensed 16 yr old baby? Absolutely unbelievable, horrible💔💔💔💔💔
Sad situation, the parents have alot of explaining to do and may be bought up on charges because this is so irresponsible on their part. They definitely knew he was driving, allowed it and allowed the other children to go.....smh...

That 16 year old should have never been driving, period. The father sounds like the 16 year old ruled over him. How are you going to tell a child to stop doing anything and yet his other siblings are in the vehicle with him driving back and forth. If they told him, evidently he did not listen and where was discipline from either one of them. They both sounds like irresponsible parents who do not care or know what their kids are doing. How and where did he get the car? How are they not aware that the other kids were missing?

These are kids all minors that we’re talking about! You let your kids act like grownups in a mall!!??

WTf whoever let him drive is going to be headed to jail, clearly they knew he was driving, Sad, condolences.
I just seen them last week…this shit crazy and heartbreaking🤦🏽
The parents should've made others aware that their child was a wild card, and to NEVER go in the car with him if he's trying to drive it. Smh. May they all rest in peace, and I hope a fast recovery for the little one that survived. ❤

@Arielle Renee They were all family. Therefore, I’m sure the other kids parents were already well aware of that. Also, considering all of those kids were in that car with him that late at night further makes me believe that was not the first time/a one time thing. I feel all the parents are equally at fault and failed their children bc why in the complete hell would a carload of underage kids be out and about driving anywhere in the a.m. hours of the night like that🙄?! All the parents need to be held accountable bc this entire situation is as ridiculous as it is sad imo…and didn’t have to happen‼️
The parents knew he was driving without a license, and yet a 16 year old still had access to a vehicle? Truly an avoidable tragedy. Wake up parents...Discipline your children. I pray that these souls will be in God's shining light. Amen

Children suffer when the parents are irresponsible. Why were an 8 and 9 year old hanging out with teenagers at 12 am? The driver probably fell asleep before crashing.

Why he got the license at 16 year old to drive at night with kids in the car?
What a Sad thing! WHY did he Drive Illegally?!
COMMON SENSE ISN'T ALL THAT COMMON. I SEE A LOT OF RED FLAGS HERE THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. THE BOYS PARENTS UNFORTUNATELY WEREN'T ENFORCING THERE PARENTING SKILLS, NOW FOUR KIDS ARE DEAD! LIFE HAS CONSEQUENCES.🙏✌️👍🏻
