After Dad Kills Mom In DWI Crash, 11-Year-Old Cries, "Who's Going To Take Care Of Me?"

The Daily News has the depressing grief-stricken words of an 11-year-old whose mother was killed in a Brooklyn drunk driving crash on the Belt Parkway early Saturday morning. And his father was the one driving the car. Tarell DuPass reportedly told his grandmother, "Who's going to take care of me?" and saying "he doesn't have anyone anymore."

Amanda Marty, 30, died from injuries suffered when her boyfriend, Kareem DuPass, lost control of a Ford Explorer, hit a guard rail near the Flatbush exit and overturned the SUV. Two other passengers were in the car, including DuPass's younger brother who is in critical condition. DuPass, 34, was hit manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, DWI, reckless driving and speeding charges.

Marty's mother told the News that she doesn't blame DuPass (yet) for her daughter's death, "I wasn't there. It's up to God."

This is so sad. I hope that little boy's grandparents or another relative have the capacity to raise him.
