Lets not forget Joe Biden used his son as a prop as he was sworn in while in Beau’s hospital room. What a political opportunist and hack

Yep



At approximately 2:30 p.m., Neilia was driving westbound on rural Valley Road in Hockessin, the three children accompanying her in the family station wagon. She pulled the car past a stop sign and directly into the path of a tractor-trailer, headed full-steam along Route 7 to Pennsylvania.

According to reports, the impact sent the station wagon hurling some 150 feet into an embankment, leaving "Biden for Senator" campaign literature scattered in its wake.

The family was pulled from the wreckage of the car and rushed to Wilmington General Hospital, but it was too late for Neilia and 13-month-old Amy, who were pronounced dead on arrival. The two boys were luckier, though Beau sustained a broken leg and Hunter, a fractured skull.
From your link:

Joe took little solace in the investigation that cleared the truck driver of responsibility for the crash (it was later revealed that Neilia had "either accelerated or drifted through the intersection," possibly distracted by the children in the back seat).

Clearly her fault. Also from another link:

“For whatever reason, Neilia Biden, who was holding the baby, ended up in the right of way of Dunn’s truck coming down a long hill,” Politico reported. A friend of Biden’s who looked into the crash at the time told Politico, “She had a stop sign. The truck driver did not.”


Evidently, Mrs. Biden didn't follow current safety precautions for infants. There is NO way she should have been holding her 13 month old daughter while driving. They had plenty of car seats for babies in 1972.

  • 1965 – Physicians for Automotive Safety (PAS) is formed and pickets the New York Auto Show; protesting the lack of safety standards for vehicle occupants.
  • 1968 – Ford designs its first Tot-Guard child restraint for collision protection. General Motors (GM) later comes out with its competing Love Seat for toddlers; followed by the first rear-facing GM infant Love Seat; and later the Bobby Mac convertible seat (incorporating both rear- and forward-facing capability).
  • 1971 – PAS publishes and circulates its first pamphlet on child passenger protection, “Don’t Risk Your Child’s Life.” Action for Child Transportation Safety is created as a parent-citizen advocacy group to promote child passenger safety (CPS), education, and higher standards for children’s car (Disbanded 1982). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) unveils the first federal standard for child seating systems (FMVSS 213); requirements didn’t include crash tests, but did mandate use of a safety belt to restrain the car seat.
  • 1972 – Consumer Reports publishes an article basically stating that most car seats that passed FMVSS 213 could not withstand crash tests.

I hate to say it, but given the choice between a life being married to Joe Biden and fiery death in a car crash, I'd have to think it over carefully.

Holy fuck….she was HOLDING THE INFANT WHILE DRIVING?

Wow.

I hate to think of what that young daughter escaped. But her death was an unnecessary tragedy. Her mother was negligent.
