Family of UK teen killed in crash with US diplomat's wife says apology 'not strong enough.'

The family of Harry Dunn, a British teenager who was killed when the wife of an American diplomat crashed into his motorcycle in August , said they learned about the woman's written apology through media reports on Monday and claimed she has yet to contact them directly.

Harry Dunn, 19, was riding his motorcycle along a roadway in the village of Croughton, England, on the night of Aug. 27, when a car traveling in the opposite direction on the wrong side of the road hit him head-on, killing him. "It's not strong enough," Charles said."We have not actually been produced with the statement. But it's still only in black and white, isn't it? It's not her voice, it's not her coming to us and saying, 'I'm really sorry.'"

"Now, because she said the statement we feel like it's only because we've done what we have done. So, it sort of forced her to say the statement," Tim Dunn told ABC News. "Our investigation into the death of Harry Dunn continues at pace," Johnson said in a statement Sunday."Northamptonshire Police remains absolutely committed to getting Harry and his family justice and we are doing everything on our side to ensure that a full and thorough investigation, with the assistance of all parties involved, takes place, in order for this to be achieved."

The family, who described their son as"loving" and a"free spirit," who would always stand up for what he believed in, said they were heartbroken beyond measure when they discovered that Sacoolas left the country.

Heartbroken For the family, ashamed of our government for allowing her to flee. We are better then this and the family deserves justice.

Do the right thing and give this family peace!!

She made a big mistake to jet away and ignored the victims ! She dill be sentence for some time in jail or prison

A written apology is 'insulting' to parents who lost their son because of her, Anne Sacoolas. She not only killed their son but she lied about not leaving the UK. There should be no 'diplomatic immunity' for her.

The fact that she fled to avoid justice is enough to demand her return. If she did nothing wrong, she had no reason to flee.

The mother needs to stop stalking that woman.

Sounds like they want Jail time?

Sorry isn’t acceptable!!

Nah, that didn't happen. You say it did, which is why I'm led to believe it didn't. Led by you, with your intentional prevarication from anything resembling reality in order to push your weak, no one on board, platform. Eat s and d

Never understood Diplomatic Immunity. Gives people the right to kill someone and not be held accountable. This is terrible. Politicians truly are scum. How can they give themselves the right to do whatever they want?
