Family of 11-year-old boy who died in unheated Texas mobile home sues power companies for over $100

14. Sue the bastards.

It is the only thing that will get their attention. They knew for over 10 years that winterization of the power plants and sources was critical - life and death critical - and they chose to do NOTHING in order to save money!

I read that this poor little boy was elated at the snow - he had never seen snow - and died that night. Many people die on hiking trails because they don't understand, or underestimate the threat of, hypothermia. And kids seem so resilient! I read that there are other children in the family who survived; perhaps this poor child had an underlying condition of which the family was unaware, which made him more susceptible to the cold. Single digit temperatures are indeed dangerous.

The cold killed this little boy, but so did the cold hearts of businesses and politicians.
