I just saw TV6 News. The aunt of Paige was saying that the family have tried to contact police investigators, marine, etc but they only get is voice mail and they don't return the calls. She said is almost like the case is "closed". I would say it is like it NEVER HAPPENED!
It sickens me to the max seeing this kind of attitude about MOST things in general in this country and I hope no fool come now and try to defend this because I will give them a tongue lash! There is no word, no dignity in this place. Imagine that the man that caused this whole thing (including the heavy financial burden to this family) have NEVER contacted the family to say he was sorry despite the stupid comments of his family saying he was "depressed".
Some Trinidadians disgust me. Their attitude is not even human!
I moved BarryLA's post to its own Thread here: Source 4 that was a boating accident in Tobago 2007 similar to this one. I saw the TV6 News about the one being Discussed here that happened in Trinidad waters and it is a very good example of the way things are perceived and handled here - no care, no follow-up, no demand for justice by those who hold the law in their hands. Scary really, if you are hurt in an accident, it is likely that there is no redress.
The family of Paige has initiated legal action against the soldier. A criminal and civil suit. I wonder of the end result, specially here in Trinidad where cases take long years to be resolved.
It is heartbreaking to read of what Paige is going through at such a young age.

Nothing will happen. The soldier was never charged I'm pretty sure he has connections so if the family think they can take a dime from him or send him to jail then they're bound to disappointment.
I have been trying to get the AG in Trinidad to comment on this accident to no avail. No lawyer will take the case until the AG comments.
This is not fair to my wife or daughter.
Are there any good lawyers in Trinidad that I can speak with?
Paige has done very well. She actually played goalie for her school field hockey team.
Racquel has issues and we are working thru them.
It will never end though. They both need to make adjustments to their lives.
All I want is a Lawyer to whom I can speak with.
