This news just broke a few minutes ago in Nashville. This is from Fox 17 News:

Accident Claims Chapman Child

This one involving two of Christian singer Stephen Curtis Chapman's children.

According to state troopers one of Chapman's teenage sons was pulling into their Williamson county home tonight when he hit his five year old sister.

The little girl was pronounced dead at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.

No charges are expected to be filed.

Would that be an adopted girl from China?

This is the most horrible thing that could have happened.

I am quite sure it was an adopted child....they have several.

Our prayers go out.

This is one of my greatest fears...The way that rear view mirrors on vehicles like an SUV are so far above the height of a child...You know we all get in a hurry and mindlessly back out or pull into our driveways on a daily basis...My heart goes out to the family and my prayers...I pray this young man is able to deal with the fact it was an accident...Oh God please send the comfort of the Holy Ghost to this family...She went straight to the arms of Jesus...How comforting, but how sad for this family...

This breaks my heart. Steven is one of our favorite people of all time. He has blessed our family too many times to number.

It is hard enought to have to lose a child, but this has to be the worst, the story I read said that the family withnessed the accident. this young man, the brother now needs so much love and care. It must be tearing him appart.

I thank God that the family is a strong Christian family the parents really need wisdom to get thru this most heart breaking time.

An incident like this occured in my mothers family when an aunt accidently ran over a toddle neice. I think it scarred her for life, for she never married. They ended up burying them both beside each other and with the same headstone, though their deaths were seperated by almost 60 years.

That young man is going through it like no one else in the family is.

I saw this on the front page of CNN so I came over here to see if anyone had posted about it yet.

This makes my stomach turn. How horrible! Especially since they witnessed it. I can't even begin to imagine...

I just can't imagine. Unspeakably horrible for them all. If there's any peace to be found, it'll have to be God's peace.

This video footage was taken about two months back. Maria's 5th birthday was only about 10 days ago. So sad.
