:( Just a heart breaking story.

Send some prayers or thoughts to the family who have suffered this great tragedy.

A car full of siblings headed home was crushed between a truck and a stopped school bus, killing the seven adopted children just two miles from where they lived.

The victims in the car were identified by authorities as 15-year-old driver Nicki Mann; Elizabeth Mann, 15; Johnny Mann, 13; Heaven Mann, 3; Ashley Kenn, 13; Miranda Finn, who was either 8- or 9-years-old; and Anthony Lamb, who was almost 2 years old.

why was a 15-year-old driving? especially with so many young kids?

It's sounding very certain that the truck driver is at fault.

There has to be some sort of blame placed on the parents. Where were they, and why did they have access to a car and keys?

i can't even begin to imagine being anywhere near this situation.

heartbreaking seems like too light of a word.

My mother's family is from that area in Florida. It is not uncommon for 15 year olds to be driving. Also, my uncle teaches 6th grade in Lake Butler where the accident happened. I know it will be very hard on him and the rest of the community.

And, when it couldn't get any worse, it does. (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/01/26/bus.crash/index.html)

The grandfather has a heart attack after hearing the news.
