MADD Victim's Impact Panel
Survivors share stories with people arrested for driving under the influence
|
Jackie Masso sits at the head of the table caressing a photo album as if it were a prayer book. At first glance, with her vanilla-white hair and gold "#1 Grandma" necklace, one might think that Masso was hosting a coffee klatch and that the memory book in her bejeweled hands held favorite photos of the grandkids. But the four young people seated at the table aren't there to share the joys of Masso's life. And the photo album she clutches doesn't contain a collection of happy memories. On this particular evening, Masso shares with the table of strangers the story of one summer day in 1982 when a drunken driver crashed into her family's happy lives, forever changing every one of them. The audience listens with rapt attention. All have been arrested for driving under the influence. As part of their sentencing, they're required to pay for and attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving victim's impact panel, where for an hour they'll listen to the story of a victim of drunk driving.
