Apparently this woman and her husband are really "charitable".
I'm always suspicious of people like this.

Rebecca Grossman is the co-founder of the Los Angeles-based Grossman Burn Center who was arrested on September 29 after police say she hit and killed two young brothers while driving under the influence.
quote:
According to the Grossman Burn Foundation’s website, Rebecca Grossman co-founded the entity with her husband and Director of Grossman Burn Centers, Inc. Peter Grossman.
GBF is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Los Angeles County and seeks to provide “burn prevention education and self sustainable burn treatment communities,” the site continues, stating:

Signature projects include helping to open the first highly specialized reconstructive surgery and burn center in Kabul, Afghanistan, publishing a Humanitarian Assistance manual for worldwide distribution, developing a Triage Training Program for physicians in developing countries and Project Faith, an ongoing program to support the needs of burn survivors as well as their Stop Violence Against Women globally campaign. Faith Wanjugo, the inspiration behind the Project Faith program and was one of the patients GBF brought here from Kenya, Africa for reconstructive surgery after suffering a severe burn injury.

Grossman and her husband are involved in a “number of charitable organizations,” the GBF website states.
quote:
The couple received the Baha’i Human Rights Award in 2003, while Rebecca Grossman was honored by The American Heart Association as Woman Of The Year four years later, the foundation site says.
In 2009, The Bayat Foundation honored Rebecca and Peter Grossman with the Humanitarian and Leadership Engagement Award. They were later honored by the Haven Hills Foundation in 2017 for their work in preventing domestic violence.
quote:
Rebecca and Peter Grossman in 2002 became the legal guardians for a burn patient from Afghanistan, named Zubaida Hasan, GBF’s website says.
“Zubaida became like a daughter to the Grossman’s and her story was featured on several television shows including The Oprah Show, ABC Primetime, and Good Morning America,” the site adds.
A book, called “Tiny Dancer,” was later published about the burn victim and her recovery process with the Grossmans, according to GBF.
Sounds like the adoption was quite profitable.

but I gotta ask: were they in the street? IF so Why? Not that you can't walk in the street. But were there no sidewalks?
You see, sometimes where you are going might be on the other side of the street, so you have to cross the street to get to the other side. Crazy I know.
The proper way to do this street crossing it at a crosswalk, which according to the article, they were using.

Why couldn’t she have just lost control and hit a tree. Only killing herself.

She would not even enjoy state college.
EDIT: And she's a 57-year-old "LA socialite" who enjoys getting drunk and street racing? What kind of wackjob socialite are we talking about here??

For a 57-year old woman, I believe booze, but not racing.

What a terrible thing to read. That poor family.

What people need to realize is that CLASS is more of an issue with situations like this than RACE will ever be. The more money & influence you have then you are able to hire the best defense lawyers who know the system back & forth & know all the PLAYERS in the game. The Judges, the Prosecutors, etc. The legal system is a game & the people with the most money & influence get off lightly no matter what. This is the way it is & it is not changing anytime soon.
This woman will get off lightly for this horrible thing she has done. It is sad but it is the truth. If she was a female of a different race with the same amount of money & influence it would be the same.

She looks like a no remorse, self centered, spoiled rotten bitch.
She should be strapped in place and ran over by a car similar to hers.

This is one of my worst nightmares, a random tragic accident killing someone I love. ETA

Grossman may have sped off after the collision with one of the brothers still on the hood of her Mercedes for about 100 feet before slamming on the brakes which caused the boy to fall to the ground; Grossman is then believed to have ran over him as she fled the scene.
