This is for the person that said Nancy should be released and she should be able to promote her "SAFE DRIVING PROGRAM". If Nancy practiced safe driving my cousin Katie would still be alive today. Every comment that has been left on this page agreeing with Nancy's release, I am fumming mad at all of you.ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!!???? I am the mother of a beautiful 8 year old boy. If someone was caring for my child, whom i thought i could trust to care for him properly, and something happened to him, that person wouldn't be living let alone be lucky enough to be in prison!!!! Nancy is LUCKY to be where she is. I hope that if she does get released, someone finds her, and beats the crap out of her.

Everyone has their own opinions, as bad as I want to scream and yell at you all that are agreeing with Ms. Lamprey getting released, i'm not going to do that. I have more respect for my cousin Katie, my Aunt and Uncle who are Katies parents and the rest of my family. I just want you guys to put yourself in the shoes of Katies parents. If you lost a child because of someones neglect, you would be absolutly outraged by the mere thought of this person being released from prison. and don't say you wouldn't be cause that would be a bold faced lie. Everyday my aunt and uncle have to wake up and realize that their Katie is no longer with them because of some idiots childish game. I hope she ROTS!!!!!!!

I would like to address all of you who feel that you know they type of parents the Silva's were and are making ignorant comments about "cheap rates" and "they were ok" with her putting those children in the back of that truck. I was Katie's day care provider for many years before Ms. Lamprey and i can TRULY speak from a place that few others can. They were extremely cautious of thier only childs safety and were NEVER more concerned about "cheap rates" than the well-being of her. You people really are misguided to think that they knew how this woman was driving and didn't care, or have you not read sworn testimony that she lied to them about having booster seats and seatbelts for all the children in her care. You may think this was not intentional, but she DID in fact CHOOSE to disobey the PARENTS WISHES and THE LAW and it was a terrible and deadly outcome for all of us who loved Katie. My own children who grew up with Katie are now going to prom and graduation and college, and as I watched each of these beautiful events unfold, I thought of Katie each time, and how her days were taken from her as well as those who loved her, not by an "accident" but by stupidity and neglect and pure disregard for the law. So, when you post your comments, you do it in ignorance, and you may want to take a moment to remember that there are still grieving families and friends that you are making untrue statements about. Shame on you.

Who cares about her marriage; who cares about her friends; who cares about her family. This is NOT about Nancy Lamprey. She does not deserve forgiveness for taking a life and hurting others because of her silly game and total disregard for the seatbelt law.

Not a day goes by when I don't miss my beautiful niece Katie. I still can't believe she is gone, She will never graduate high school, get married or have children. Nancy has not accepted responsibility for her actions. Because of her, my sister and brother in law have lost the only child they will ever have. She needs to remain in prison for the maximum amount of her sentence.

Do you know Nancy Lamprey? Have you followed this case from day one?

You have to love some people that when someone see's a situation differently than they do you are deemed ignorant. I am not ignorant, I happen to see it very differently than you. And to top it off, this person goes on to tell me how I would feel. Nancy could stay in prison the rest of her life and it will never bring a dead child back. Ever. This was no accident? Nancy planned this whole thing in advance? She probably spent weeks working out the details. You people make it sound like you all walk on water. I know better. You ALL have made stupid choices in your life, maybe you hurt someone, maybe not. Get off your soapboxes, and put someone in Nancy's cell that truely deserves to be there. She dosen't.

Keeping Nancy in jail makes no sense.! She is going to pay for this for the rest of her liffe, in or out of jail! The judge who recomends her release is a humanitarian
and should be commended. I m a crtitic of the NH Judicial normally but in this case I give the judge praise!!

Leave her in jail! Her community service was leaving a "poor me" flyer on cars at the mall.

Let Katie's parents decide Lamprey's sentence!

To the poster about the dog....you can't have a dog loose in the back of the truck either. Too dangerous. Must be crated or tethered in the center to prevent falling out/hanging.

You really are ignorant!! Did Nancy intentionally kill and hurt anyone?? Yes -- solely by not obeying the law and seat belting them! This was no accident. Accidents are avoidable - this was avoidable. Yes, the parents knew she was picking them up in her truck.....but in seatbelts....in fact, she was approached by one parent BEFORE being hired as their caregiver to be sure there were adequate seatbelts and they trusted her. She was lazy and inconvenienced by the seatbelts. If this was your child, you would feel different. I can't believe you would say that you wouldn't. I hope you never have to find that out.

For all of you who think Lamprey would be better off doing community service -- you have no clue!!! I have seen first hand what kind of "community service" she is capable of doing and it's a great big joke! She would do so much more harm than good. She is not a very bright person (which is how she got in this situation to begin with). Serve your time!!!

I am related to one of the vitcums in this accident. i knew everyone involved no one is prefect. drunk drives serveless than a year in jail even when they kill someone. what good does it do to keep her in jail? she knows what she did was wrong she isnt tring to get out just to be back home she wants to tell people about what happened she wants to keep ti from happening. and if the parents were sooo worried about their kids being in the pick up why didnt they pull those kids out from her care knowing about what she was doing so keep putting all the blame on Nancy .. someone else also said the aprents are to blame as well... keep that in mind if you knew your kids were riding in the back of a truck wouldnt you pull them out if you truely cared enough about them..???

Let's not forget the fact that this person thinks she should be let go forgets to metion that Lamprey tried to lie and blame it on her truck. I guess now that that did not pail out she is sorry. I can swear to you that I know plenty of children who have never ridden in the back of a pickup truck. It is illegal for one thing and it is very dangerous. I would not even put a dog in the back of a truck.

it is a shame when a CHILD KILLER gets less time than some kid with a bag of POT!!!

ALL OF YOU SAYING LET HER OUT ARE CRAZY! WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD THAT PAST AWAY. MAYBE YOU WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY! ANYONE THAT KNOWS THE SILVAS KNOW THERE LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BECAUSE OF HER SO CALLED MISTAKE! PEOLPLE SAYING LET HER OUT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOOSE THERE CHILD LIFES MOST CHERISHED GIFT! EASIER SAID NOT KNOWING THE SILVAS I GUESS!
I HOPE IT MENTALLY EATS HER FOREVER....SHE DESERVES IT FOR DRIVING STUPID WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF HER TRUCK!!!

I am sickened that an adult would do such a thing knowingly, then beg for forgiveness,and actually be let out of prison early. No-one is mentioning the other children(and their families) severely injured, who also have to live with these memories. I feel for the Silva's loss and know that Mrs.Lamprey's prison sentence length won't lessen their loss, but Mrs. Lamprey made a conscious decision and should face the appropriate sentence. My daughter, who went to school with Katie Silva, and has the same birthdate (at which time I think of Katie), is lucky enough to be alive, recently earned her driver's license, just started her first job at the mall, and is doing all the normal teenage things Katie didn't have the opportunity to do. I wish people would stop defending the admittedly guilty.

I suppose the judge was negligent in the fact by doing swervies while backing up. Give me a break.If you just want her free say so, but to comapare it is rediculous. Accidents happen and are accidents if no one is found to be doing something negligent at the time. If you are than it is negligent homicide. To suggest anyone thinks it is murder has not been even commented here once. You are suggesting that others think that it is murder.

Nancy would serve society better by promoting a safe driving program, and telling her story to others. I am sure that this woman has also suffered enough loss from what her actions have caused. It seems that she also has lost a lot in life, from a very dumb decision. It's time to let her go, and let her show her remorse through her actions and community service. Save her cell for a someone else who really needs to be locked up.

She acted in negligence ,probably never ever thinking of the consequences . If it is true the parents knew she picked up th ekids in the truck ,knowing there were only 3 seatbelts,knowing they were picked up in a "Pick Up " , unfortunately they are just as responsible for allowing it ! regardless of her rates . We can debate all century about what is right and wrong . She understood from the beginning she messed up and a life was lost ! Don't you think she has nightmares and thinks about it every single day .She will for the rest of her life as will her family ,friends.
I am soo soo sorry forth eparents , and siblings ! What she did was an accident !
There is no accident when you drink and drive (being some bought that up) That is a deadly decision !
I am sure by her story she can help out with her "talks" to teen's prior to receiving their license !!
I hope all can let the lil girl rest in peace ! I am sure if she was asked ..she would say she was having fun ...!
I am sorry for all who lost that special lil girl ! ALL OF YOU !!
Peace to all !!

She had a choice and she made it and yes it was a very bad choice. Now do the time. She ruined a mother and father's life by making that bad choice to do swirley's and have no seatbelts on the children. Life is valueable and short and she cut Katie's very short and she was the only child of her her parents. You let her out might as let Pam smart out becuz she didn't actually kill her husband.

Time to let her go..!!

This woman did not intentionally hurt or kill that child. She was being the "fun" day care provider for these after school children and her daily brood. She did an irresponsible act which resulted in tradgedy and is truely sorry for her actions. Her marriage has collasped, her friends have desolved, her family has suffered as well as the families of the children in her care, especially the parents of the deceased child. At some point we all must come to the place of forgiveness. By keeping her incarcerated what kind of person will come out of prison? Right now she's wanting to talk to groups about reckless conduct behind the wheel. What will her outlook be a few years from now after spending more time with other negative prisoners? Let her out and become a positive speaker with a bad expiereance behind her. She's done her time.

the judge in Franklin had no more intent to kill a child than Nancy did. Was he careless and reckless and negligent? Yup...even if he wasn't drunk ( which I happen to believe he was). Call a spade a spade....he was careless enough to not look behind him, resulting in the tragic death of a child. And according to the opinion of most here, should have been charged and sentenced and served time. It's the exact same crime. And I'm sure the parents of this child still miss their beloved child. I can only hope Andre, that you are never negligent in any way, on the road or otherwise, or make a mistake that causes harm to others, because if you do, I hope the full weight of our "fair" judicial system comes down on you. Hard.

You are missing the point.
If the kids had been seat belted and she was not driving recklessly,she would be a free woman.
If the judge had been proven drunk, he would not be free.
And when has two wrongs ever made a right?

come on...Nancy did not intentionally hurt or kill anyone. And the parents did know Nancy picked up the kids at the stop with her truck. And any person should know there are only 3 seats in a truck. What kid in NH hasn't ridden in the back of a pick up?..You get real...you prove to me that Nancy intentionally hurt these kids...yup.. I agree.. swerving wasn't the smartest thing to do...but..to me..that is at the opposite end of intentional. Would I feel different if it was my kid? I doubt it. If she shot them maybe..but certainly not the case here. And it was a Franklin judge (Lachiado spelling?) who's "actions caused the loss of life and she (he) was directly responsible"..no jail time no nothing. It's exactly the same situation with a very different result. Too bad Nancy wasn't a judge.

The lesson to be learned here is do not break the law. There is a seatbelt law in this state. She broke the law not the parents. She can only blame herself.
Sometimes I feel her sentence is enough, but when I look at it from a Mother's perspective it is not.
When my daughter brought her senior year book home and I saw Katie's picture frozen in time I thought of how that could of been anyone's daughter(including mine). How she never got the chance to live and do all the things that kids do. I began to cry. How after all this time the kid's did not forget and included her in the yearbook.I felt selfish for all the times that I had cried this past year because of the empty nest syndrome. At least I have my daughter.
I thought of how my daughter was in an car accident a year ago and if it had turned out differently could I forgive?
When I think of it from a mother's perspective, I agree with the family and state.
My daughter was a classmate of Katie's when she died and the entire class had to learn a life lesson too soon.
I think of how after the years have gone by and a classmate of Katie's still remembers her and kept her memory alive by creating a scholarship that my daughter was lucky enough to recieve.
Is it enough? No,for a mother it is not. Especially Katie's mother and Father.

So, if I kill achild by driving like a moron, i can expect to do very little timje in prison. If she had a bag of pot on her she would be doing alot more time. You gotta love the crooked judicial sysem. What's good for one person isn't good for another person. Who puts these judges in office?

i say no way she should have been driving a van not a truck she knew that the children had to be in seat belts and she should never had been driving like that who was the boss the children or nancy she should have been driving more carefully and not do what the children told her to do sure the parents knew Nancy but they trusted her with their children the parent loss a child what did nancy lose her freedom for a while she has 3 square meals dont have to worry about bills heat lights

why do not release her

This woman knew the risks when she put those children in her truck and swerved all over the road until she hit that tree. I disagree witht he above post, the parents had no idea she was putting them in the back of the truck and drviing like a raging teenager. So what if she worked CHEAP, does that give her the right to kill a child in her care? lets not forget that is what she did. the Judge you mention could not be proven to be drunk so your reference holds no merit Ken. However this woman was proven to be at fault, had she driven with care she would not be in jail, her actions caused the loss of life and she was directly responsible.. The only ones who think the crime doesnt fit are her friends and family, well sorry if you miss her, the little girls family misses her alot more. And just to be clear, she intentionally hurt them by her swerving and sliding around in the road, reckless operation that results in death, how again is that not intentional?? get real. I jsut hope the parole board see's through this attempt and lays down the LAW, she deserves the sentence and shoudl serve it. Since day one she has fought to get out, she has no remorse to this day and still feels like it was an accident and the judical system is at fault. Maybe one day when she see's and admits what she has done, maye then she may have the right to go free, but NOT now.. sorry.

I am not sure what purpose will be served by not allowing her to go on Parole. She will be addressing people of the dangers of what she experienced. I sympathize with the families involved, but I agree with ken, that she was a responsible babysitter for them and they never had any issues regarding her care of their children. On a side note, who is the Judge that was involved in that crime? How long ago did that event take place? And if that is true, then he should have been prosecuted!

Both have let child molesters and rapist out with much less of a sentence.

The parents of the victims in this case knew all about Nancy taking their kids home from the bus stop in her truck. And they were ok with it, and Nancy worked cheap. There is no way that this woman would intentionally hurt the children she was caring for, it was just a terrible accident, and the punishment does NOT fit the crime. Let Nancy go. A side note, a judge in Franklin was backing out of his driveway, ran over a child, killed him, had been drinking and never served a DAY in prision....look that one up in the archives and tell me how fair our justice system is.
