Parents push for more safety measures at the Florida State Fair
It's been nine years since Andrew Joseph III died after getting kicked out of the Florida State Fair. His parents are still fighting to make the fair safer for kids. Feb. 7, 2014, Joseph was kicked out of the fair, and while trying to cross Interstate 4, was hit and killed by a car. "Tomorrow, nine years ago, my son will be killed, and it will change our lives forever," Andrew Joseph Jr. said. "It's sort of like a life sentence. It never goes away. The pain, the misery, the agony never goes away. So you just kind of learn to live with it. And it gets a little better every day. But it's a very difficult situation. Not only for me and the family but for the community."
