		In our family, the week that Jessica died, we were deciding whether our own almost 7-year-old would continue her hectic timetable of school and after-school activities or slow down to an easier pace.

		Still, a group of Jessica's surviving relatives has now sued Cessna and Avco, the companies that built them 20 years earlier — along with the pilot, the owner of the plane, and 100 "Does," or defendants to be named later.
		It is distinguished mainly by the confused frenzy in the American press before and after the accident: reporters saying and writing that Jessica was a "pilot," that she "piloted" the plane, and that she was trying to set a "record" as the youngest pilot to fly across the country.
		Jessica had learned to handle the controls of a Cessna Cardinal under limited circumstances, but this is a small part of the set of skills required to fly.

	The Crime Critic: The Sins of the Fathers
		When seven year old Jessica Dubroff's quest to be the youngest pilot to fly coast-to-coast ended in a pile of smoking wreckage in suburban Wyoming, the media quickly split into two camps.
		The Dubroff's defenders, on the other hand, pointed out that Jessica probably hadn't been at the controls at the time of the crash; the stunt was just an over-publicized father/daughter jaunt with a tragic ending.
		In many ways, Jessica's story is but a milder version of the Kathy Tongay case, one of the most notorious child abuse cases of the '50s—a decade when parents supposedly knew better.

		Jessica's mother, when she got the news of the crash, said, "I would want all my children to die in a state of joy." That would be fine, except I'll bet the last 30 seconds of Jessica's life weren't particularly joyful.
		In all of Lisa Hathaway's post-crash interviews, she has been unrepentant, declaring that she "would do nothing differently." When her older son told her he didn't want to fly anymore, she "begged him to re-choose." This type of irresponsibility is beyond absurd.
		I believe Jessica Dubroff was the victim of a stage father, who reveled in the media attention his daughter was receiving, coupled with a mother who wanted no restrictions put on her children.
