This really pisses me off, parents should be tried for negligent homicide. Taking the family for a 5 mile hike round trip to Sara’s Crack on a day with temps close to 120 is just idiotic.

I swear they taught us this stuff in 2nd or 3rd grade when I lived in Phoenix as a kid.
My Dad who was a Federal safety inspector used to say the ultimate lesson for the parents was learned. There is no greater punishment than a life filled with severe guilt.

No parent should have to bury their child...

That poor kid though. She must have suffered unbelievably.

I hope that if these parents have other kids, they are takin away from them....

:mad: :mad:

Truly heartbreaking deal. No clue what the parents were thinking. Even with water and the right prep it’s a horrible idea. What a poor decision. Hell of a way to learn a lesson.

Why, why would anyone hike in these temps? I wonder if they were trying to get to the lake, realized it was too far and came back? Most people would find it tough in 100+, but 111 is pretty serious. Water needing to be carried would be excessive, and you'd have to be in good shape to start.

The only way I would do it would be to look for someone known in distress, but never with my own kids in tow.
