Our hearts go out to these victims’ families, including the children’s mother who is recovering from injuries sustained in the crash. MADD vows to be there for the victims of this crash.

“MADD is appalled and enraged that 12-year-old Shalynn Bobbitt was severely injured by an alleged drunk driver. We are especially appalled to learn that he not only had two prior convictions of OUI, but also allegedly left Miss Bobbitt alone with her injuries and fled the scene. It was a despicable, cowardly act and we ask that the court system hold the driver fully accountable.
Massachusetts desperately needs to pass a law requiring ignition interlocks for all drunk drivers this year to protect innocent people from tragedies caused by drunk driving and to prevent first offenders from becoming repeat offenders.”
