A Message From A Concerned Father To Jason Kidd

In 2009, 11-year-old Leandra Rosado was killed in a drunk driving accident. A New York state law was passed in her name, Leandra's Law, which makes it an automatic felony to drive while intoxicated with someone under the age of 15 in the car. Lenny Rosado, Leandra's father, had a response to the incident with Jason Kidd earlier this month driving drunk and crashing his car.  He wrote an open letter to Kidd urging the basketball player to be a better role model. Below is just a small sample of the letter Rosado wrote.



"As a so-called role model to many young kids and young adults who enjoy watching you play, this has really put a dark cloud on my perception of you.


Jason, I was a great role model to my only child. My daughter Leandra’s short life came to an end because another irresponsible, reckless parent drove drunk and crashed a car filled with seven young girls.


My daughter was thrown out of the car and died.


I think it would be in your best interest to apologize to those of us who have had loved ones die because of individuals like you who drove drunk."
