Re: Toddler thrown onto freeway
The really sad part is that at 2-1/2 years of age, that child is very much aware of the situation being presented. That kid should bave been walking and have had limited vocabulary. Not as much of an infant but a cognizant toddler aware of his/her surroundings...you know...a preschooler.
Back in the 80's there was an automobile accident on the H-1 freeway Ewa bound in the left lane across from the Bishop Museum. A car had stalled and was struck from behind turning that stalled car into an inferno. The father was able to get out, but he couldn't get his son screaming for help (he was five years old) out of the car. The boy was pinned inside the vehicle. All the father could do was watch his little boy burn to death as they both screamed for help.
Many years later you could still feel your car tires rumble over the buckled asphalt caused by the burning car. Everytime I ran over that spot and felt the rumble, I cried for the father who to this day has to live with that loss. Thank God that area was repaved although I still cry when I think about it. Being a father of many boys, I love every one of them and shudder when I read or remember these things.Last edited by craigwatanabe; January 17, 2008, 02:33 PM.Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

Re: Toddler thrown onto freeway
A Baby was thrown off a bridge today.
Hawaii waits together on Why?
The suspect was arrested.
A horrific, demonic and monstrous murderous act committed without reason.
As soon as I heard, I grabbed Antonio and cried. I hugged him tightly. My tears flows for the babe who died and for Hawai'i nei. The sadness engulfs my whole being. I am lost for words...how can such a thing happen to an Angel?
Babies and Children are so very precious.
They look to us for protection and care. They love, laugh, run, giggle, do all the little things dat keiki does.
Yeah. They're KIDS!!
Our Kids!!!
Ahhhhh...my little one.
Imagine.
How can something so evil happen in our place of Love and ALOHA?
A BABE.
Rest in Peace Baby...Rest in Peace. You're with Jesus now.

This murderous act kinda makes me wonder if the suspect is/was a Kekela ward patient as Queens isn't very far from the "scene". Plus, he was wearing scrubs.

Re: Toddler thrown onto freeway
Anyway...
Interesting to watch the story evolve as more information is gathered and verified. Now the gender of the child is unclear, and at least one report asserts that it's not known whether the child was killed in the fall or beforehand. The suspect remains unidentified, but probably not for long. Hell, part of me thinks I've seen the guy around.
More distressing is that, so far as anyone is saying, the victim is still unidentified. Unless the suspect was a primary caregiver, it's hard to imagine someone not raising a panic within minutes, or a few hours. I'm hoping the police have information and are just not releasing it (not uncommon with minors, or high-profile cases), and that there aren't more victims out there...

Re: Toddler thrown onto freeway
Is it something in the air?
We got a domestic violence in Kailua yesterday that ended up with a girl beaten to death with a rifle or shotgun.
Now we got an alleged patient throwing a child onto a busy freeway to his or her death.
I usually suspect at this time of the year or February for fights to break out at Farrington High or Kalakaua Intermediate, but this is ... totally off the chart.Beijing 8-08-08 to 8-24-08

KITV news had a bunch of info about the suspect, Matthew Higa. He was a Roosevelt grad. I don't recall the rest of it (other than some Pizza Hut employees had filed a TRO against him), but the video is up on KITV's website now.
We've all heard stories about how even prison inmates feel child molesters/child killers are scum of the earth, so I imagine Matthew Higa will... have an uncomfortable time.
Dare I say, "well deserved.".
.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Re: Toddler thrown onto freeway
Hmmm...let's say Higa turned 23 in 2007 making his birth year 1984. That would put him at 20 in 2004. A bit old for a high school senior but not impossible, I guess. Or, maybe my lack of math skills is really showing!

Matthew Higa, Roosevelt. If it's the same Matthew Higa as the one noted in these Board of Education minutes, he was a member of the 2004-2005 Hawaii State Student Council.
I think there's more info to come.
