Ariana Miles was taken to OHSU Hospital, where she died of injuries suffered when she was struck by a fast-swinging door on her mother’s car.
Detective Jeffrey Green, Clackamas County sheriff’s spokesman, said Monica Weatherby planned to move her car from a spot near her home on Southeast Courtney Avenue, near Lee Street, about 10 p.m. Meanwhile, Ariana and her 7-year-old sister, Alahna Miles, came out of the house and opened the passenger door to talk. Weatherby then told her daughters to close the door and move away.
I make this judgment against the fact that, statistically, a child’s killer/murderer is more likely to be its mother than a stranger, or a pederast, or an uncle, and so on. In the real world, it’s safer for a child to ignore the odd men in the parks but to always keep an eye on the mother tucking them into bed.
The death in the news report does not fit into this sad statistic/reality. It’s simply a terrible accident.
One thing I don't understand about this...how does it relate to Amanda Knox or Natalie Merchant?
Hey, Charles, is the kid in Oklahoma in jail yet because of your preternatural sixth sense of what is crime and what is not?
You left stepbrothers out of your list of statistics. This one sounds more suspicious to me than the other one.
"something on the floor of the car caught on the accelerator pedal"
I have an accelerator that sometimes sticks closed, when that happen I put my left foot on the brake and tap the accelerator, I don't just mash it to the floor while my kids are next to the car. (and I never let my kids out of the house unless they are in a cage, Meow >'.'
I am Ari's Uncle... This was a horrid accident...I am crushing the car in the morning
I have a comment to Epimetheus. I have known this family for many years. Both of those girls are their parents world. There is NOTHING that they would not do for them. So you can say its suspicious, but I know for a fact how hard the family is taking this. Try explaining to a 7 year old why her sister is not there anymore. Do you not think Monica feels so guilty about this? Imagine this being your child with you behind the wheel, sit on that for a moment and tell us how you would feel.
