This is such a tragic loss for all the Family and friends. But it is also upsetting that people are automatically speculating that the mother was drunk driving just because the paper said "alcohol and or speed MAY have been a factor." Nobody knows for sure what happened that night!Nobodys stopping to think of how this mother must feel Losing a child that grew inside her for 9 months and that she cared for for 8 years! You should think before you accuse someone and most definately know the FACTS before you just run someone into the ground. her heart must be breaking and torn in two...why dont you stop and think about that!

I agree. People should not jump to conclusions on the alcohol issue and that means the FRICKIN' media as well!!! It is unprofessional to even suggest such a thing until the facts are in. If alcohol was a factor then shame on her, but until that is proven...well, I guess there is nothing to say on the matter. This is a huge loss and as a parent my heart goes out to the family and friends. I don't know how you ever get back to a normal life after something like this. Very sad.

There are no excuses for what happened. Loosing your child due to your own negligence must just be devistating. I just hope this poor mother can get thru this horrible time and get past the fact that it was her fault she smashed into that pole and killed her daughter I know I as a parent could never forgive myself. My heart really goes out to the father and sister and rest of family and friends who really deserve our sympathys. They have to deal with the loss of Kelsey the rest of their lives. If you want to drink do drugs and kill yourself do it alone not while driving with your children! Shame on the family that bailed her out of jail and didn't stick her in rehab before she killed her daughter. Lets think about the innocent 8 year old that was killed not the poor grieving drug addict mother that made the wrong selfish decision. I know this to be true for a fact!!! Lets see how sorry everyone feels for the poor mother when the toxicology report comes out! Think about this what if it were your family member killed due to a drug addict driving. Did anyone have a problem with two 8 year olds not wearing a seat belt and one in the front seat? I thought it was something EVERY NORMAL PARENT has their child do.

How do you know this to be a fact? The only people who know what really happened were Kelly & the twins.

madmom668...your post is insulting and rude. I really don't think anyone was (is) attempting to condone addiction or possible incredibly poor choices with devastating outcomes. I only pray to God that you never have to experience the pain and anguish this family has.

I am tired of hearing people say they think the fact that she has to live with what she did the rest of her life is punishment enough. She has been warned for quite sometime about her drug and alcohol problem many people have tried to help her. You can't help someone that doesn't want help.I can tell you one thing and that is you'll never see me putting my childrens life at risk, nor will you see me doing drugs and taking them to purchase drugs. She is lucky those girls were not kidnapped while she left them in the car for 1 hour in the middle of crack town flint, her little girls are in a car locked in a bad area waiting for her mom to get her fix inside the house, how safe is that for her girls. What kind of mother is that???? See I decided to have children and be a mother, you do not decide to start using heroin when you have a family. She had everything given to her and she threw it away for a addiction to heroin. I might sound rude but I have alot of anger over this tragedy, it didn't have to happen but because of Kelly, Kelsey is now dead. I wish it had been the other way around. With Kelly's action she obviously doesn't value her life. It really makes me mad because its always the innocent that die not the one at fault itt just doesn't seem fair!

The only thing that should be said here is that teh family needs support in their time of grief. No matter what this woman did whether it was her fault or not, SHE WAS A MOTHER FIRST. She will look at her other daughter and always know what when and where. She will never forget it. All the coulda woulda shoulda's come to mind and what should be done here is a memorial for the little one and privacy for the family. The judge and jury will come to a conclusion, so all you nosy wanna know everythings need to get your own agenda. Leave this poor woman alone and leave her be. She has her own thoughts to destroy her. I pray that this family heals and seeks GOD in this time of grief.

Why Kelly? Why did you take this lovely child away from a community that loved her? You say you built the church connection, the community envolvement and you were a leader in your church what church would condone your behavior? Kelsey was so loving so forgiving and so alive why couldn't you embrace life like your child? Why did you need cocaine to make you feel good? Wasn't two darling twins enough?
You had a lovely home we knew it before you owned it and you trashed it! Your daughters lived in a constant upheaval. You don't think we saw you stay out all night? Scream at your girls get in two other car accidents and you didn't get a clue did you? You said you hated your mom yet she bailed you out how many times? You said you hated your mother in-law but who the heck loved you unconditionaly and cleaned up your messes? Kelly God is a loving God but he also is the one that said vengence is mine! I hope to hell you never can be placed in a position to affect another's life like you have your own children!! Because now it is child no longer plural.

There are more parents around like this mom {addicts}. Its sad that the family knew she had an addiction and seemed high when she left the resturant and did nothing to stop it. We all need a serious crack down on drugs especially teens because its all around us. This poor child is gone and her twin sits in foster care how sad.We have a family just like this in our nieghborhood and everyone knows this mother is an addict as well. Theres really nothing that can be done until someone gets killed. You can call animal control and they'll come right out and get an abused animal but CPS calls to set interview giving time for the addict parent time to clean up and hide thier addiction. I pray for this child and hope she recovers as for the mom and her addiction I pray you get help.

The people on this blog who are posting horrible comments and passing judgement should feel ashamed of themselves. I work closely with a family member, and beleieve me, you should not pass judgement. There are many "facts" that have not been revealed. I have delt with addiction in the realm of my own family, and the person with the addiction does not think the same way you or I might. It is "easy" to get mad at the person with the addiction, but this does nothing for anyone. I think Kelly has paid the ultimate price for her mistakes, and no one deserves this kind of tradgedy. I hope this family can heal. I hope they remember all the good times they had with Kelsey. Kelly does not need rude comments, by strangers especially. She needs love and prayer. Most of all, she and her family need to heal. Kelly was a mother, and I can guantee you, she loved her girls. I am a mother too, and if I were to lose a child, no matter the circumstances, I would feel so broken. I know some of the mothers out there think they would never make this kind of mistake. Maybe not, but you will make mistakes. Madmom, you should show some compassion. Kelly is a mother who needs love and forgiveness, not hatred. What if Kelly was your own daughter? Would you show such anger? My close realative overcame her addiction, but we had to take it day by day. As a family, we thought we would never get through it. But we did, because we continued to love that person through their mistakes. This whole thing makes me so sad. If you don't have anything positive to say, DON'T POST!

I am sure Kelly loved those girls dearly. I realize that drugs take over and you loose control of everything. You are no longer doing the thinking the drugs are. I have had experience dealing with people with addictions. I am assuming Kelly had some sober times in those times she knows right from wrong. I can't beleive she didn't know better than to shoot up cocaine while driving her girls around! She knows the feeling she gets as the drug immediately rushes thru those veins. Speeding and trying to race home on that high and stay in control? Not possible. I know for a fact this wasn't intentional but she made a life threating decision the drugs were more important at the time not the girls. I think most people would choose to do things differently like with out the kids around. Why should we have compassion for her? She still has the rest of her life Kelsey doesn't, why should Kelsey have to pay for Kellys drug problem? Is this what it takes to get this grown women clean?For how long this time? Yes Kelly is paying the ultimate price for her mistake but should Kelsey of had to? NO SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE. Kelly knew before she decided to start doing drugs again what they do to you, why make that choice being a adult and a mother. I think everyone needs to stop making excuses for Kelly! I am so afraid for my child to grow up in this world with all these drugs in your face. It starts at such a young age now and is very easy to get. I hope I have raised my child to stay smart and stay away from drugs. I have him watch the intervention show every monday he is disgusted by what the drugs do to a person he sees the affect it has on you I just hope this always sticks in his head. It does mine. Tough love, if my child ends up with an addiction I will do my best to help him get clean and find him the best rehab center. I know I cant stop him but I can do my best to help him. I will tell you that if he had a family and was shooting up I would never condone him having his children. I would not agree with him being responsible to care for them. I woul never risk my grandchildrens life if this was the path my son choose to take. He can't put his childrens life in jepordy! I know it would kill me to do but I would be forced. Sorry if I offended you but this is how I feel. I can't help but to have these feelings toward Kelly she deserves nothing else!
