serioulsy are you guys stupid?? How about you get more facts before you go judging on everything..thank you very much. maybe you guys need to get a life instead of messing with everyone elses. You know everything that this website has told you and thats it!! So maybe you should show respect and get the rest of the information!! And the parents of the child were doing just fine at raising her..thank you very much..this was my baby cousin and i know the facts and you all make me sick saying the stuff you did.

Momma Barbie: You don't deserve to be called Momma by any child. That little girl died because of an idiot that was negligent. Because of his actions a little girl died in a terrible crash that didn't need to happen. I have no sympathy for this clown. God bless Sharon.

I don't see how everyone is sticking behind Ron. If she was fighting him on putting her seatbelt on, then he should have pulled over until she did. My daughter, Sharons cousin, will scream if I forget to buckle her. All I had to do is give her the exact truth on what would happen if she didn't. It's that easy! Anyway, in my opinion he should be charged with manslaughter or at least child neglect.

I am the aunt of Sharon Dunlap. I am sad to say that I did not get to know her very well as I moved to California when she was only a few months old. I do know that there was no reason for her to die. I have no sympothy for the idiot that was driving no matter how close he was to the family. Who the hell does he think he is not putting her in a seatbelt?! Because of that idiot, I will never have the chance to get to know my beautiful niece, Sharon. She was so wonderful. We talked on the phone all the time and her and my daughter, Tabitha, talked all the time on the phone. I'll miss her dearly, very dearly all because of some guy that didn't think that a seatbelt was important enough. I love you Sharon. I always will.

Sharon was a beautiful child who is dearly missed, lost in a tragic accident. However Ron was as close to her as he could be. He was with Sharon cuz he is a close family friend. All occurences that night were trully only accidental and horribly tragic. As the mother of a bright and curious child i know they both get into and out of everything they can. Sometimes they hurt themselves and sometimes everything doesnt turn out ok. So get off rons back and let him mourn the precious little girl he both loves and misses.

To Kake News. Maybe if you would of got the story straight or at least the whole story maybe ppl wouldn't be so bitter. Sharon had had the seat belt it on and she removed it.This was a total ACCIDENT. We as family have accepted it that our little girl was called HOME. Why can't the rest of you let her go in peace.

To all you ppl with negative attitudes. Sharon is in a much better place now then being here on earth with ppl like you.Its always the ppl who THINK they are perfect are the first to point blame.Deep down everyone has done it. Our child was just the special ONE GOD chose to take.And like I said with ppl like you who wants a child to grow up here on earth.Sharon you will always be loved and deeply missed. You can dance and sing all you want to now.Love you sissy.

The driver of the truck should be charged with her death.

facts are facts, he was wearing a seatbelt that baby wasn't that is the fact, so quit making excuses for him idiot--you should be caring about that baby that was allowed to be with him and not in a seatbelt, her mother ought to have her butt kicked.

Angie/A Friend Location: You're absolutely correct, the media must report more details about this story. Why is this man on suicide watch? What guilt is he hiding? Bad things happen when you're doing bad acts. As parents we need to be more vigilant who we allow our children to be with. I pray KAKE 10 becomes an advocate for this fallen angel, please don't let Sharon Dunlap's memory fade into obscurity so quickly.

you're right we don't have all the facts--however one thing is clear he was wearing a seat belt that little girl was not--WHY!!! if she got out of her seat belt then he should have pulled over and stopped and put it back on her--so there is absolutely no reason for him to have been driving and that little girl not in a seat belt---so facts or no facts--there is absolutely no reason for HIM TO HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THAT BABY NOT IN A SEAT BELT!! So Don't Understand you must be related to him and making excuses already for him---There is no reason--There is no EXCUSE!!!!! It wouldn't have happened to me--my grandchildren are buckled into a car seat before I even start my car and they can't undo them but if on the off hand chance they unbuckled their seat belt and got out--I would have pulled over and stopped and buckled them back in--I would never have been driving with a child that was not buckled in so....Stop making excuses for him--there is none.

THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH TODAY. PPL ARE SO QUICK TO JUDGE AND BLAME BEFORE THE FACTS ARE EVEN GIVEN. DON'T JUDGE BEFORE YOU GET THE FACTS. THINK ABOUT THIS IF IT HAD HAPPENED TO YOU.

Bad things happen in the world and there's not a lot you can do about it. Unless you know the people involved, you shouldn't be saying anything about the situation. You are only causing more grief to the family and friends of Sharon. Ron is a good family friend and Sharon loved him. This was a tragic ACCIDENT. Sharon, we love and miss you.

did you ever think of the possibility that sharon took off her seatbelt and ron turned around to tell her to put it back on!!! and over corrected!!! and just to let you know ron is on suicide watch.
