    I have three sons, two are still teenagers. Something like this happening has always been a big fear for me.

    Modern life asks a lot of our kids . . . we just have to be there for them all the way . . . and even then, there are no gaurantees.

    We lost someone of great value to us 10 years ago at age 17. Remarkably, he was an avid skateboarder too, and a skilled musician, and a hell of a talented kid. Reading this brings it all flooding back. It's a pain like no other.

    Sincere sympathies to you all.

    Hug your kids

    That hurts, I wish you and his family peace and healing

    My kids are 14 and 17 and if anything tragic happened to them... god i don't know how i would deal with that.

    I tell them both i love them every time i see them, i make a point of telling them how proud i am of them and that i believe in them.

    I hope your nephew heard the same messages.
