The parents of Roee, a 7-year-old boy who died in a fatal ATV accident eight and a half months ago, are expressing anguish and frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation and the suspect's freedom. The incident occurred when a family acquaintance took Roee and his cousin for a ride on an ATV without helmets or seatbelts. The driver reportedly crashed, then alerted Roee's parents. "We thought he was in the yard. Five minutes later the driver knocked on my door, admitted he took him on the ATV, and we learned the worst," recounted Moran, Roee's father, in an interview. He added that since the accident, the family has received no information beyond rumors and that the driver "is living his life, walking around free." The parents are striving to keep Roee's memory alive, with his father describing him as "a dream child" and his mother, Rita, emphasizing the importance of memorializing him. The Israel Police stated that the investigation file has been fully transferred to the State Prosecutor's Office for a decision regarding the suspect. The Prosecutor's Office confirmed receipt of the file and that it is under review.
