This is a nother reason to get rid of the fraternitys at are colleges and not to lower the age of drinking. The youngster should step up and take his punishment like a man.

PLEASE people, in the history of the world, if you have money you have power. Get you heads out of your backsides. He KILLED someone - just as if he pulled out a gun and shot him. The problem is no one wants to take responsibility. We want to tell them its ok - its alright. How many children from the beach area are going to die this year before parents wake up. If you get behind a wheel of a vehicle and are drunk you have made the decision to possibly wreck and kill yourself or others. And yes, I am sorry for both families. I had a friend you was drinking he ran into an elderly gentleman. The accident did not kill the man, but he had a heart attack as a result of the stress. My friend did not continue on at college -- he spent seven years in jail. But his was not wealthy and had no resources.

MOTHER OF A TEEN, if you really knew the miller family you would know that they would not stoop to using their family name and money to get themselves out of any trouble. Eugene is actually having a really hard time moving on and he doesnt need gossips like you who obviously just like to tear people down getting in his business and making his life any harder right now.

Dear Mother of a Teen, YOU make it sound like stone's life is back to normal, and that everything is alright in his life. Yes Stone is back at school for two days a week. He goes to school to school two days a week, hes dropped all but two of his classes, and the rest of the time he is at home. But have you personally seen or talked to stone? Do you know how hes handling the situation? I can tell you that his life isnt all fine, and its not back to normal! How about the parents of the other family? Yes they did bury their child. Did you know that they do not blame stone. That they WANT him to continue on with his life. They dont want him to spend the rest of his life in jail. YES he made a mistake, and hes living with . His family name and family money are not playing a role in this. So heres what i have to say to you, you do not know what you are talking about, so keep your negative opinions to yourself.

I feel so sad for both families. However, Mr. Miller is old enough to know right from wrong and the young man who was with him chose to ride while Stone was drinking. I don't know if both young men were drinking or not. The bottom line is, Stone was driving and drinking - he wrecked and as a result a young man was killed. He should be held responsible for his actions. I have known the Miller family for a long time - I just hope that "family name and family money" do not rule in the decision for the amount of punishment Stone receives. He is back at USC and from what I have heard is moving on with his life. While Ryan's family has buried thier child. Ryan will never get the chance to graduate from USC, get married or have a child. Who knows how and where they get the alcohol. I personally know of a mother in Litchfield whose daughter is now at USC who provides beer and other alcohol to minors and frequently hosts underage drinking parties for all of her WHS, AHS, and GHS friends. Interestingly enough, she is a RN at GMH. Even worse she parties right along with the children. Law enforcement has been to her home several times, but to no avail. I suppose it will take a tragedy to stop her. Parents have to take resposibilty as well.

I dont even know where to start. Some of the comments on here have me so irrate all I want to do is personally attack each one of these people.However that would not solve anything.THANK YOU to everyone who said has prayed for BOTH families. I can tell you that everyone involved in this situation needs as much prayers and support as possiable.For the people that want to the play the blame game I got news for you, you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Most of you do not know this family, and if you did you would not be playing this game.Mr. Millers parents did not raise him to drink and drive. I can tell you that for a fact. Im not going to address each and every attack that has been thrown at Stone, because it is not important. What is important is how to get these kids to wake up and can look at what can happen. A poor choice was made, but i can tell you that he is going to live with this for the rest of his life, and hes having a pretty tough time right now. Not only is he trying to get over his injuries, hes mourning the loss of his friend, and the fear the hes going to go to jail for the rest of his life. Hes 19 years old. How many of you can honestly say that you have NEVER gotten behind the wheerl of a car after you have been driniking. Not leaving a dinner party having one glass of whine? Well guys guess what thats drinking and driving. This kid is a good kid, yes he made may have made a bad choice, but he has the best heart out of anyone I know. He never ment any harm, so dont attack him. Thank you for your prayers and support because we need them.

Where do people get off leaving such ridiculous comments about such a tragic, and unfortunate event? Unless you know the victims personally, or having something encouraging to say, keep your comments to yourself. No one needs to explain the cause of the accident, point fingers, or analyze the situation. There's already enough going on with the families and friends affected by the situation, and your negative comments do not help.

people need to not be so harsh on miller. He will have to live with this the rest of his life. Do not blame his parents all of you who have children around the age of nineteen I guarantee that the have consumed alchol before. Yall are so quick to judge someone for getting in an accident drunk but how many times have you gotten in a car after a drink or two and felt fine, the only difference is that you made it home and miller didnt get that chance. I know personally how torn up miller is about this wreck he lost one of his best friends. so instead of being so concerned about tearing miller down and judgin him you need to just take this as something to learn from.

Where did this 19 year old "child" get the alcohol? Did he have a fake "ID" or did he get the alcohol from someone who does not check IDs? Our choices are not always the right choices even when we are not under the influence, much less being under the influence. This "child" will be guilt ridden for the rest of his life because he made the wrong choice resulting in the loss of his friend's life.

This is a very sad situation. I feel deep sympathy for the family of the child that was killed, but I also feel very sad for the family of the driver in this horrible accident. This child has got a long hard road ahead of him and I am sure there will not be one day in the rest of his life that he will not think about the results of his actions.

Posted by So Sad on 10/14/2008

let's just remember to pray for all of the families involved, and for the young man who lived. one family has lost a child. and the young man driving will never be the same again.

This is a very sad and tragic accident.As for the first comment made I disagree I don't think this young man's parent's raised him to drink and drive.It was an accident.One that he will have to live for the rest of his life.All we can do is guide our children and hope that they will use the right judgement in this situation.My prayers go out to both families involved in this tragedy.

The problem here was not seat belts it was drinking and driving!!!!!!

Posted by mother on 10/11/2008

Driving Under The Influence is killing our kids! Wake up, parents! How many, just how many examples is it going to take to make these kids learn? This is so sad, on so many different levels. My heart is also broken for all of the families involved. Especially those who lost their loved one for goodness sake.

Posted by Wake up! on 10/10/2008

My heart goes out to the family who has lost their loved one. This is an example of just how important it is to fasten your seat belt every time you get in a vehicle. Poor judgment is more than likely the culprit here. Just how fast do you need to drive on Waverly that you could induce a roll over "several at that" in a vehicle?
