VERY IMPORTANT CASE UPDATE: On September 30, 2019, Thomas Hahn was sentenced to serve a MINIMUM of 20 years to a MAXIMUM of 30 years in prison, TO BE SERVED CONSECUTIVELY!!! Hahn was also ordered to serve 3-5 years for driving while intoxicated, causing serious impairment. That sentence is to be served CONCURRENT to the primary sentence. Hahn was also ordered to pay, $260,000 in restitution to the family. (This will be IN ADDITION to any amount the family is entitled to and awarded under a civil lawsuit). FINALLY, a DRUNK driver is given a much deserved sentence for such a heinous crime. (Thank you Judge Michelle Rick for giving a just & swift sentence to this animal).
Thank you for the update. I am glad that the monster is serving his first twenty years, and then they will determine if he will get out (if he actually makes it twenty years in prison) and then decide if he should serve the remaining ten or if he goes out on probation. He will be 75 at the end of twenty years, and he will be 85 if he has to serve the remaining TEN years.
How would he be able to pay back that much money though? I've always wondered that. He'll make a pittance at a prison job, maybe, so does car insurance cover at least some of it?
@@ElizabethT45 - I believe each state is different but in my state insurance only pays up to the max coverage for the greater of the policies. Hypothetically, if the shithead had $20k in coverage per accident and the family had $50k in coverage then the max the family could get would be $50. Health insurance companies do not like to pay for expenses incurred in an accident but I have always used my health insurance to get treated for motor vehicle accidents (Yeah - I share the road with too many asses.) then there is a discussion for reimbursement to the health insurance when the accident claim is settled.

Mia Hall I mean yea we’re all gonna die but most ppl die at an old age. The kid didn’t get to do anything, not even get to go to kindergarten or high school
Not in my Christian household people die at any stage of life. Deal with it. That boy died at 3 years old that’s it. Don’t worry about his future cause there never was a future.
After I got married fews month later in fall / winter season our friends sister in law died from drunk driver ate the red light crash into her but her car flipt 2-3 time n when EMT CAME its was to late . 24 yr old n she left behind 3 kids n husband. I remember that her kids was under 6yr old they lost the mom in young age. Its was 8 yrs ago.
My 9 year old daughter died because of a drunk driving. and 2 more friends died in the same car in total 3 . I donated the organs of my little daughter . the man is in jail for 35 years.... 💔😪
My condolences. You shouldnt have had to bury her, but rest easy knowing she saved lives of those who needed a transplant. For that, I want to say thank you.
Robin Harris I did too. I know the pain of losing a child. I lost my daughter, my two little nephews who were under age 2. It’s a harsh world drunk drivers also took the lives of my cousins in two separate accidents. One of the drunks never got caught. It was gruesome how my cousin died. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers
Bawling so hard I could hardly breathe. But how great that people stood to honor him on his last journey. Understandable that everyone would do that. But the heart breaks to pieces.
I used to drink and drive all the time, not worrying or caring about how incredibly stupid and selfish I was. By the grace of God, I was never in an accident. Now, I have been sober many years and am grateful I no longer have such a disregard for human life. May this gentleman find the courage to keep going 🙏🏼
Sending so many prayers and love to Reed’s family ❤️ My aunt passed away at age 16 due to a drunk driver. She loved kids, and yet never got to meet the twin nieces (me & my sister) she would have adored. Thank you for your generous gift.
I have just learned about this family. So sad yet so brave. When I was thirteen I was in a car accident in which my mummy was killed. This was caused by a drunken driver. I hope the husband/father is doing well. What a beautiful mum and son.xx
I hope this beautiful, selfless family finds peace in they’re heart knowing that despite his age, Reed became a true hero and that both mom and son are together in heaven ♥️
I’m so sorry. I hope you are feeling better now. I don’t get the law anymore. Why drunk driver get away so easy. I don’t think they ever going to learn. My mom got into car accident too in 2016. The driver didn’t make it n my mom was in pain for so long. I wish some one out there can change the law. This is very sad that many people out there been thought the same.
He will see them again, and they will be perfect, living on the earth. That is the Bible's promise to mankind, and to rid the earth of all injustices, sickness and death.
Exactly!! How in the hell was that even a consideration....when the family has a lifetime of heartbreak! Smh....the judicial system never ceases to amaze me with the bullshit! God is the ultimate judge...I will always find solace in that. 🙌🙌
You will LOVE this. The judge sentenced him double for taking two lives. And she mandated his sentence as follows: He was ordered to serve 10-15 years for EACH death, and that time must be served consecutively. So he MUST serve a MINIMUM of 20 years, to a MAXIMUM of 30 years. He CANNOT be eligible for ANY parole, UNTIL AFTER he has served his first 20 years. He also was sentenced 3-5 years for driving while intoxicated causing serious injury, to be served concurrent to the primary sentence. And he was ordered to pay, $260,000 in restitution to the family. This is IN ADDITION TO any other amount the family is entitled to and awarded under a civil lawsuit. #RIPMommaAndReedLaHaie
@@losheroes6076 sry just seeing this lol. My insurance pay for all of it. A lot of people have to pay a couple thousand dollars. It really just depends on your insurance I guess.
So heartbreaking but this little boy is a true angel. What a wonderful father. You are one amazing man to save many lives. Prayers to you and your family. 💕

Such a sad story for such a beautiful young family. I am permanently disabled due to a drunk driver who didn't end up with a scratch on him. It was his 4th DUI.
Just a maximum of 15 years (I did hear that correct, she didn't say 50 right?!) in prison?! How absolutely ridiculous and absurd, and a complete and utter insult to this poor family who are now suffering insurmountable grief, and to the two innocent lives that person took in the process! What a joke of a justice system!

And again I ask, 15 years for taking 2 lives??? This was NO simple car "accident" that claimed these lives. THIS was a DRUNK DRIVER!! WHY is THAT NOT MURDER??? The laws MUST change. A drunk driver can break the law by driving drunk (a crime), and kill 2 people while driving drunk. How is THAT any different than a person commits a robbery (a crime), and kills the person he is trying to rob. (THEY call that MURDER). BOTH situations ARE EXACTLY the same. I'm so sorry for this family. 😪
@@RainyRunningRiver I can understand your feeling that way. Many people in our society think and feel on the "eye for an eye" theory. Unfortunately that would be illegal. Not to mention, most people do not want to do that despite their pain and grief. But I absolutely respect feeling that way.

@@nikkib5753 That's better at least. I still don't understand the purpose of concurrent sentences. If they are served at the same time as another crime, it is like there was no consequence/punishment for that one. I doubt he will ever pay the restitution with being in jail. They should sell everything the drunk owns at least. Thanks for the update.
@@angelajames7917 I can help you with the understanding of concurrent sentences. In this case there are 2 factors. Hahn took a plea deal. When an offender takes a deal, the goal is for him to gain something out of sparing the courts a trial and the victims or family from facing a trial. Makes sense right? He really did not get much of a "gain". In plea deals, the defendant will plea to the MOST SERIOUS charge, and ALL other minor charges can be included into the serious charge. Especially since all of the charges stem from ONE event. Makes sense right? You see, a driving while intoxicated charge is VERY minor to the DUI vehicular manslaughter charge. So for the DA and a court to agree to take a charge with a minimum 3 year sentence and combine it with 2 MAJOR charges that carry a very lengthy sentence, they really aren't losing anything and are gaining ALOT. So they give him a "concurrent" on it because all they really want is the BIG sentence. Its kind of a win/win for everyone. Does that help you understand it? On the restitution part, yes you are right about him not being able to pay it. There are however other ways. Because a judge ordered it, he will have a lein placed on EVERYTHING. If he owns a house, it can and will be sold to pay towards the restitution. All of his possessions can be sold as well. A lein is placed on his credit report. He will never be allowed to receive an inheritance. He also CANNOT receive any lottery winnings. Everything will automatically go to Mr. LaHaie. Mr. Hahn's vehicle insurance will pay out 2 death benefits and 2 funeral benefits to Mr. LaHaie. Mr. LaHaie's OWN vehicle insurance will pay out the the difference on the funeral costs, that Mr. Hahn's policy didn't cover, if any. If Mr. Hahn's policy doesn't have a death benefit, Mr. LaHaie's will pay out the two death benefits. Hope this info helped.😄
Okay so I don't know if anyone has heard of Corinn Linkowski from Goodrich Michigan. Well she donated her organs too a month before Reed. and I can only see her playing with the little guy in heaven. RIP little guy
Dang it RUclips recommendations, I'm crying my eyes out. Completely lost it at 3:07. My heart goes out to the family, especially Ryan. Such a huge loss to endure all at once. 😭
Wow...I’m very blessed to be alive and to have family....who else thinks the drunk driver should have a life sentence in jail..?it makes me sad and even made me cry.…
My heart goes out to this dad & family for their loss. I lost a cousin in 1977 because of a drunk driver. Then in 1980 my sister-in-law was killed by a drunk driver. The pain of missing them still hurts.
Thank you for sharing this story! My heart breaks for this man and anyone else who loses a child, especially when it could've been prevented! I'm so very sorry for the loss and so very grateful for the lives given because of this beautiful little boy!
I really couldn’t imagine how to cope with all this if I woke up to this ... my kids are my life and I honestly have no idea how I would react to this... it’s a real horror story bless the father and family.
The maximum of 15 years for getting in a vehicle knowing good and well you’re drunk? Then, on top of that killing not one but two other people= a joke🗑
My heart breaks for this family.. drunk drivers ruin lives. My sweet friend was killed by one a week before graduating high school.. please make the right decision and get a ride instead of driving drunk
Uh....that is my worst nightmare. I can’t even 8magine waking up to the news that my baby and partner had died. I’m terrified for when my child gets his license with all these people drinking and drugging behind the wheel.
15 years for killing 2 people.... it’s so crazy to me how these drunk people decide to get behind the wheel and destroy other people‘s life without a thought he needs the electric chair ...!!!😡😡
My sister was killed by a drunk driver and only got 4 months of jail for manslaughter in 1980 and he went on to drive drunk several times after! I’m so sorry this happened!!! Praying for the family 🙏💕 please don’t drink and drive please!!!
Hello People alcohol and cigarettes need to be illegal but unfortunately people are to concern about vaping right now. Alcohol had killed so many innocent people it’s insane no good comes out of it but yet they won’t ban it cause people like it to much.
sgtmian right!!😭😂 we already been through this. People will get a hold of alcohol no matter what. They need to start sentencing these people for life for destroying families. Harsher sentences is the answer, the families get justice and those pieces of shit never see the streets again.
That poor man my 💔 breaks for him and for the drunk driver what is wrong with justice system I've heard of 15 years for drug possession but 15 years for murder because when you decide to get behind the wheel of a car and takes lives into your own hands you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison that's just a slap to that man's face he lost his wife and his son I pray that one day he has piece in this life
I send all my prayers to you .When your down please remember this God puts his Angel's her on earth sometimes for a short while to do his work and when done calls them back to sit by him at his throne. That's were they both will be waiting for you in his time not yours so be strong live life to the fullest and wait to see your family again one day. Have faith and I promise you it will be done on to you. Be blessed in all you do.
My heart hasn't faced what you have sir, so I can't think of what to say other than I'm sorry for your loss, and may God's blessings get you through this. Thanks to your son other children got to live. 🌹🌹
Sophie Eldridge she said 7 year old woman 4 year old man and a 1 yr old baby girl. I watched it over like 3 times confused as well haha. But I don’t think they would’ve donated a 3 year olds organs to someone 70 years old... not sure if that’s possible but I’m no expert
I think when a child is killed like this or whether a woman who's pregnant is killed an Automatic life sentence should be applied. This poor sweet young boy taken far too soon and this father loosing his family is devastating. Rest in power until you meet again. I've watched a lot of honor walks on RUclips and it's very difficult to watch. Especially when it's young children such as Reed. 😭
What HEARTLESS JERKS would give this video a thumbs down???? I SURE HOPE no one in YOUR family ever has to go through this! Thank you for sharing this.
This is so sad, I almost don't know what to say. That little boy was beautiful and precious and reminded me of my own little precious grandson. I'm so sorry for the dad. Be strong.
The punishment doesn't fit the crime. His life should be taken away. He should never see life outside of the prison walls. Unfortunately the case might not be over. Unless he plead guilty he can appeal and if found guilty again he " may" have the right to appeal again?? While he is in prison he will cost tax payers an average of $52 a day, not including court costs. If he is incarcerated for 15 years that's a cost of $283,000. And the victims family had to pay taxes to keep him up. Wheres the justice in the? His appeal could go on for a couple of years prolonging the family's grief and burning through more tax payers money. I saw bring back hangings on courthouse laws or public lynching. Eye for an Eye.
3 years ago I almost lost my life drunk driver and I was in the hospital for weeks and placed into a recovery center for 2 months I remember the accident like it was yesterday it was raining and I was in an Uber coming home from the airport and was hit by a truck driver on a bridge so whenever I drive on bridges now I always get flashbacks
Wait.. You mean to tell me the man was DRINKING and driving, killed 2 (almost 3) people, and he got a MAXIMUM of 15 years, meaning he'll probably only serve 10-12? That's about 6 years per life that he took. Meanwhile, there are people who have served that on marijuana possession. ..?? I can't be the only one who finds that disturbing. This man should be serving no less than 50 years, 2 life sentences!!
VERY IMPORTANT CASE UPDATE: On September 30, 2019, Thomas Hahn was sentenced to serve a MINIMUM of 20 years to a MAXIMUM of 30 years in prison, TO BE SERVED CONSECUTIVELY!!! Hahn was also ordered to serve 3-5 years for driving while intoxicated, causing serious impairment. That sentence is to be served CONCURRENT to the primary sentence. Hahn was also ordered to pay, $260,000 in restitution to the family. (This will be IN ADDITION to any amount the family is entitled to and awarded under a civil lawsuit). FINALLY, a DRUNK driver is given a much deserved sentence for such a heinous crime. (Thank you Judge Michelle Rick for giving a just & swift sentence to this animal).
Thank you so very much for the update 💗💗
Thank you for the update. I am glad that the monster is serving his first twenty years, and then they will determine if he will get out (if he actually makes it twenty years in prison) and then decide if he should serve the remaining ten or if he goes out on probation. He will be 75 at the end of twenty years, and he will be 85 if he has to serve the remaining TEN years.
Thanks for the update and THANK YOU Judge Michelle Rick!!
How would he be able to pay back that much money though? I've always wondered that. He'll make a pittance at a prison job, maybe, so does car insurance cover at least some of it?

The death of the 3 year old hurt the most. He didn’t get to experience life yet.
Wontons and Noodles there is no more life for him. Yes it’s sad, but you have to move on. Death is apart of life.
Honestly fuck life it's cool and all but this life time sucks ass
Summer cause it’s true. We are all going to die someday. No point in fearing it or being sad. Move on, after 2 months of feeling down
Mia Hall I mean yea we’re all gonna die but most ppl die at an old age. The kid didn’t get to do anything, not even get to go to kindergarten or high school
Not in my Christian household people die at any stage of life. Deal with it. That boy died at 3 years old that’s it. Don’t worry about his future cause there never was a future.

That's sad that someone can make the desicion to get in a vehicle drunk and kill two people and only get 15 years.
That's the sad part; a drunk person CAN'T make decisions -at least not good ones.
15 years is pretty steep
ssmith91906 he got 30 years and has to pay 260000 to the family that’s no including other stuff that he will have to pay
olivi doen yes but not always
It's pathetic. There is Uber ,Lyfe etc. No excuse to drive drunk.
Such a cute little boy gone too soon...
A wonderful gift to give, but sadness of losing his wife and baby

Only 15 years? Should be in there forever
The man lost his wife and kid. He never going to see them ever again. Wow this is not fair
J T my family had 2 killed by a drunk driver and didn’t get life either
I’m so sorry. I hope you are feeling better now. I don’t get the law anymore. Why drunk driver get away so easy. I don’t think they ever going to learn. My mom got into car accident too in 2016. The driver didn’t make it n my mom was in pain for so long. I wish some one out there can change the law. This is very sad that many people out there been thought the same.
He will see them again, and they will be perfect, living on the earth. That is the Bible's promise to mankind, and to rid the earth of all injustices, sickness and death.
The honor walk in the hospital is quite possibly the most emotional thing I’ve ever seen.

When an offender takes a deal, the goal is for him to gain something out of sparing the courts a trial and the victims or family from facing a trial. Makes sense right? He really did not get much of a "gain". In plea deals, the defendant will plea to the MOST SERIOUS charge, and ALL other minor charges can be included into the serious charge. Especially since all of the charges stem from ONE event. Makes sense right? You see, a driving while intoxicated charge is VERY minor to the DUI vehicular manslaughter charge. So for the DA and a court to agree to take a charge with a minimum 3 year sentence and combine it with 2 MAJOR charges that carry a very lengthy sentence, they really aren't losing anything and are gaining ALOT. So they give him a "concurrent" on it because all they really want is the BIG sentence. Its kind of a win/win for everyone. Does that help you understand it? On the restitution part, yes you are right about him not being able to pay it. There are however other ways. Because a judge ordered it, he will have a lein placed on EVERYTHING. If he owns a house, it can and will be sold to pay towards the restitution. All of his possessions can be sold as well. A lein is placed on his credit report. He will never be allowed to receive an inheritance. He also CANNOT receive any lottery winnings. Everything will automatically go to Mr. LaHaie. Mr. Hahn's vehicle insurance will pay out 2 death benefits and 2 funeral benefits to Mr. LaHaie. Mr. LaHaie's OWN vehicle insurance will pay out the the difference on the funeral costs, that Mr. Hahn's policy didn't cover, if any. If Mr. Hahn's policy doesn't have a death benefit, Mr. LaHaie's will pay out the two death benefits. Hope this info helped.😄
Okay so I don't know if anyone has heard of Corinn Linkowski from Goodrich Michigan. Well she donated her organs too a month before Reed. and I can only see her playing with the little guy in heaven.
RIP little guy
Beautiful thought💗💗
Dang it RUclips recommendations, I'm crying my eyes out. Completely lost it at 3:07. My heart goes out to the family, especially Ryan. Such a huge loss to endure all at once. 😭
My heart breaks for this man and his family....just keep the faith and try to live life ad happy as possible
So sad Reeds a superhero. His poor dad lost everyone.
Wow...I’m very blessed to be alive and to have family....who else thinks the drunk driver should have a life sentence in jail..?it makes me sad and even made me cry.…
My heart goes out to this dad & family for their loss. I lost a cousin in 1977 because of a drunk driver. Then in 1980 my sister-in-law was killed by a drunk driver. The pain of missing them still hurts.
Thank you for sharing this story! My heart breaks for this man and anyone else who loses a child, especially when it could've been prevented! I'm so very sorry for the loss and so very grateful for the lives given because of this beautiful little boy!
Can’t imagine your pain. I am so so sorry for your loss and I hope that you can heal from this in time.
I really couldn’t imagine how to cope with all this if I woke up to this ... my kids are my life and I honestly have no idea how I would react to this... it’s a real horror story bless the father and family.
what a handsome boy . R.I/P
The maximum of 15 years for getting in a vehicle knowing good and well you’re drunk? Then, on top of that killing not one but two other people= a joke🗑
God saved him bc he knew he could handle it. Mommy and reed needed to be together!
My heart breaks for this family.. drunk drivers ruin lives. My sweet friend was killed by one a week before graduating high school.. please make the right decision and get a ride instead of driving drunk
Uh....that is my worst nightmare. I can’t even 8magine waking up to the news that my baby and partner had died. I’m terrified for when my child gets his license with all these people drinking and drugging behind the wheel.
Can’t stop crying
15 years for killing 2 people.... it’s so crazy to me how these drunk people decide to get behind the wheel and destroy other people‘s life without a thought he needs the electric chair ...!!!😡😡
Drug dealers get more time !!
Verna Morales ain’t that the truth..🤬🤬
I wish they brought that back and maybe people would actually be scared of doing stuff like that.
I'm balling 😭 my god why do these horrible things happen something that could have been avoided
God bless.
I hope & pray he finds peace & solace through all this & the help he needs ❤️❤️❤️
My sister was killed by a drunk driver and only got 4 months of jail for manslaughter in 1980 and he went on to drive drunk several times after! I’m so sorry this happened!!! Praying for the family 🙏💕 please don’t drink and drive please!!!
Drunk drivers should be jailed for a minimum of 5 years for their crime
I am sorry that your family had a big tragedy.
Damn drunk drivers!!
Wow SMH🤦♀️
Make Alcohol Illegal
Hello People alcohol and cigarettes need to be illegal but unfortunately people are to concern about vaping right now. Alcohol had killed so many innocent people it’s insane no good comes out of it but yet they won’t ban it cause people like it to much.
... ‘cause that worked out so well last time.
sgtmian right!!😭😂 we already been through this. People will get a hold of alcohol no matter what. They need to start sentencing these people for life for destroying families. Harsher sentences is the answer, the families get justice and those pieces of shit never see the streets again.
My heart just breaks for this man. Thank God his son and wife are together.
That poor man my 💔 breaks for him and for the drunk driver what is wrong with justice system I've heard of 15 years for drug possession but 15 years for murder because when you decide to get behind the wheel of a car and takes lives into your own hands you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison that's just a slap to that man's face he lost his wife and his son I pray that one day he has piece in this life
I send all my prayers to you .When your down please remember this God puts his Angel's her on earth sometimes for a short while to do his work and when done calls them back to sit by him at his throne. That's were they both will be waiting for you in his time not yours so be strong live life to the fullest and wait to see your family again one day. Have faith and I promise you it will be done on to you. Be blessed in all you do.
My heart hasn't faced what you have sir, so I can't think of what to say other than I'm sorry for your loss, and may God's blessings get you through this. Thanks to your son other children got to live. 🌹🌹
Maybe with the invention of self driving cars, drunk driving will be the thing of the past.
Killed a women and child and only gets 15 years?
Wow !!!😭😭😭😭
May God Bless and protect! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss, love prayers and hugs 😪
7 year old woman? Not sure if a seven year old is a woman
pretty sure they said 70 year old woman
Sophie Eldridge she said 7 year old woman 4 year old man and a 1 yr old baby girl. I watched it over like 3 times confused as well haha. But I don’t think they would’ve donated a 3 year olds organs to someone 70 years old... not sure if that’s possible but I’m no expert
I think when a child is killed like this or whether a woman who's pregnant is killed an Automatic life sentence should be applied. This poor sweet young boy taken far too soon and this father loosing his family is devastating. Rest in power until you meet again. I've watched a lot of honor walks on RUclips and it's very difficult to watch. Especially when it's young children such as Reed. 😭
My prayers for this husband and father.
What HEARTLESS JERKS would give this video a thumbs down???? I SURE HOPE no one in YOUR family ever has to go through this! Thank you for sharing this.
That’s it he should have life in prison
So sorry for your loss, thinking of you and your family. Reed lives on and your wife and Reed both live on in your hearts xx
This is so sad, I almost don't know what to say. That little boy was beautiful and precious and reminded me of my own little precious grandson. I'm so sorry for the dad. Be strong.
Feel so bad for him and his family. Never drink and drive. If you do drink and drive, stop or there is special place in hell waiting for you.
The punishment doesn't fit the crime. His life should be taken away. He should never see life outside of the prison walls. Unfortunately the case might not be over. Unless he plead guilty he can appeal and if found guilty again he " may" have the right to appeal again?? While he is in prison he will cost tax payers an average of $52 a day, not including court costs. If he is incarcerated for 15 years that's a cost of $283,000. And the victims family had to pay taxes to keep him up. Wheres the justice in the? His appeal could go on for a couple of years prolonging the family's grief and burning through more tax payers money. I saw bring back hangings on courthouse laws or public lynching. Eye for an Eye.
3 years ago I almost lost my life drunk driver and I was in the hospital for weeks and placed into a recovery center for 2 months I remember the accident like it was yesterday it was raining and I was in an Uber coming home from the airport and was hit by a truck driver on a bridge so whenever I drive on bridges now I always get flashbacks
This legit made me bawl
God bless this family 🙏💙🦋🦋♥️🙏
Wait.. You mean to tell me the man was DRINKING and driving, killed 2 (almost 3) people, and he got a MAXIMUM of 15 years, meaning he'll probably only serve 10-12? That's about 6 years per life that he took. Meanwhile, there are people who have served that on marijuana possession. ..??
I can't be the only one who finds that disturbing. This man should be serving no less than 50 years, 2 life sentences!!
Seeing him holding that sign for preschool knowing he won’t ever get to go to kindergarten 🥺🥺🥺
