ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court has approved $2 million in total compensation for the 16 children of those killed in a helicopter crash off the province last March.
NTV reported Thursday that under the compensation paid by Sikorsky, the helicopter's manufacturer, the youngest children will receive more money than those older.
The youngest child will receive just under $400,000 while the oldest up to age 19 will get about $100,000.
A Sikorsky S92-A chopper owned by Cougar Helicopters was ferrying offshore workers to two production platforms on March 12 when it crashed into the ocean, killing 17 people on board.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
