(May 21, 2008)—A Texas toddler who was watching the stars Tuesday night with his father and brother in the front yard of the family’s suburban Dallas home died when his mother ran over him as she pulled into the driveway after a trip to the store.

Investigators say 2-year-old Marvin Segovia died late Tuesday night at a Dallas hospital after the accident around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday in the driveway of the family home in Garland.

Police say the father had taken his sons to lie in front of the house to watch the stars when he evidently dozed off.

The child's mother then returned from a supermarket trip and pulled into the driveway, accidentally running over her son.

I hope the parents don't blame themselves or each other. Something like this can really tear a family apart. :(

This mother will have difficulty enough trying to forgive herself without your heaping it on her. She will punish herself more than you can ever punish her. I hope and pray that she realizes that she is only human and humans make mistakes. Things can happen in a split second that we wish we could take back. They have happened to all of us and without the tragic results of killing our child. We have been lucky. It could have been any of us. I hope for healing, forgiveness and eventually happiness. This sounds like a good family. I hope you can have more children. I know it won't bring him back, but it might bring you more happiness. Your son wants you to go on.
