This is a bit harsh...

A community rallied to raise money for a family that lost a son. Their son was hit and killed by a train. This is sad. Only I kept reading, with my brain engaged...

A fourteen-year-old boy crawled under a fence to somehow end up on tracks and in front of a train. Less sad...more stupid. I believe the phrase "natural selection" should be used here. A boy that age should be able to avoid a train.

I feel that the community should raise money to send live children to college who would not otherwise be able to go.

I will leave it at that.

    why do they need money for losing a son? i doubt a 14-year-old contributed significantly to the family's financial resources. did they have to pay for damage to the train or something?

    I imagine it is to cover burial/funeral expenses
