What in the hell are 15 year olds doing out at 1:40 in the morning and worse off driving a car ! Plus a school day in the morning!

I feel for his family, but what was a 15yo doing driving outside of legal hours...without an parent\legal gaurdian...and with 3 other teens in the vehicle? That's 3 violations and if he had lived, he wouldn't be getting his license for quite a few years.

If I hear another Naperville mom or dad say, "Boys will be boys!" in order to rationalize inconsiderate, selfish, or dangerous behavior, I'm gonna puke.

Its so sad to hear that someone lost their life, but we as parents need to take a long hard look at this situation and take responsibility. Its 1:40 am! Do you know were your kids are? Get ya lazy ass out of the bed and check. At 1:40 am my children are sound asleep. Especially on a school day. Be accountable for you children!

Let's just get to the point: What were the kids doing out that late? taking a joy ride.
Where were the parents? Asleep just like you were.
I tried to put my 15 year old in a crib at night, but he keeps climbing out!

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. Someone lost a child. Someone lost a friend. Be thankful that your child is there to hug this morning and stop passing judgement.

Everyone needs to take inventory of their own households. Hug your chikdren and tell them you love them frequently. Teach them what is right by an example. Pray for your children when they go to school and our with their peers. Peer pressure is real and so is death. Be the best parent you can. Please dont judge anyones parenting please look in the mirror and if the reflection shows you something that needs to be corrected. Then do so. Keep his parents and his family in yours prayers and take off your judgment hat. It could of been one of your nephews or your sons friends. Devin was Aunti's baby

So sad. The family is in my prayers.

This is a sad situation indeed but, when the crying is over, ask YOUR kid what reason he or she would have for being out on a school night, after curfew, in a car with other teenagers. Chances are it wasn't to collect disaster relief funds for the

The homeowners were lucky that no one was killed in their house after these unlicensed fools crashed their car into it. The homeowners are the victims in this case and will likely have a mess on their hands for many months of trying to get their house repaired.

I do feel bad for the parents of the kid who was killed; but my gosh, with behavior like that it's only inevitable that something bad was eventually going to happen.

This just underscores the reason why we must drill into our children's heads that wearing seat belts is a must, must, must. We can argue all we want about being out late, driving without licenses, and so on, but in the end this poor child may have survived if he had been wearing his seat belt. Use this situation to remind children to put them on because living IS cool and dying is uncool. Read this story at the dinner table to put the fear of God into our fearless little children.

As I read some I these comments I wonder if it makes it easier for us to accet the death of a child if there is someone to blame. His parents didn't do a good job, the kids were breaking the rules...does this mean he deserved to die? We are human. We make mistakes. Our kids make mistakes and take risks. We are thankful, lucky parents when our kids take risks and make it home safely to our loving, albiet angry arms. These boys took a risk and got caught. It is not fair to imply that they deserved what they got or that their parents weren't bringing them up right. I am so very for this family. I can't imagine the pain they are experiencing and it is a pain I never want to feel.

A prayer goes out to the family,my children's knew devin..This saddens me I have to say when my kids came home from school and told me,I told them I was sorry to hear about there friend asked them were they ok and afterwards I said"this is why I stressed at you guys to wear your seatbelt"I'm not sure if he would be hear today if he have had it on but it was a chance of it,I didn't say why are they out this late or wear we're the parent,because me as a parent with 2 teenagers I have exspirenced put ten my girls to bed,and waken up at 1am and they snuck out the house ,and it took us 11 hours of knocked on doors involving the police posting them on the web.it was the worst day of my life and they are 13,15 and there reasons were simply we wanted some air,so this is why I don't pass judgment course I'm a strict on hands parent 24 hours aday only time I'm not around my kids is when there in school or I'm sleep,I say this to say we as parents can only do so much you can enstill in your children's to do the right thing,make the right decitions and just pray pray pray because at the end of the day it is up to them the choices they make and the consecuences that follow.to any parent who has a teenager.... Know that this is tru,it is not always the parents....may God keep our children's safe...lisa johnson

The report says the driver suffered only minor injuries. Please pray for him. Though I don't know him, I am sure he would go back and change it all if he could. I hope that someday he can forgive himself and realize that it was simply a stupid thing to do. Many teens do stupid things, and they usually live. This time, there was fatality. I can't imagine the pain the parents and families are suffering, but I also can't imagine the pain that the driver is suffering. He needs support now too. Don't let him give up! I implore those around him to help him to move forward and make a turn around.

Wow I can see why your name is dick. My sympathies to Devin's family especially after what happened in Connecticut. God bless.

as of 01/01/2013 this kid who killed the other boy still attends school M-F at Metea valley high school. whats up with that?

Watch your kids. Know your kids. Talk to them. Build a relationship. These parents leave them alone & they don't take part of their lives. I see this new generation & it's out of control. There is no ground. No punishment. No one wants to take responsibility. Where is the apologies? These kids have no idea? They leave there homes in pajama's. & expect the world a drive thru window & a text from there phone to have a conversation. These kids today are SPOIlED!
