Retribution

---

Nineteen-year-old Harry Dunn died at 27. August

The parents of Harry Dunn are returning from the United States , where they hoped, But to persuade, ultimately, failed - US suspicion of involvement in The Crash that killed their son, the justice bodies. BBC journalist Duncan Kennedy , who traveled to The States with Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn , reflected on your hair-raising journey.

the Grief is heavy, like a down-travel in an Elevator that never met. Floor. Imagine, then, with a view to the suffering in front of the cameras of a dozen TV studios, 100 microphones, and 1,000 questions - it is more difficult still.

But this is The Experience of A Family , the journalists again and again as "normal" people. Except for The Family of Harry Dunn not ordinary are.

a Regular, unflashy, normal? Yes.

Usually? No - the events of The Past week have proven that.

On The Surface , Charlotte and Tim , the personification of patience, humility and dignity were. Inside, it's brighter turmoil. To keep for you, your Grief .

Ten days ago, they were an anonymous couple in their own world of Grief and fear. They were just Two People who had seen together with their respective new partners, Tracey and Bruce, you live in Northamptonshire Brutal death inverted in the heartache of Harry's on 27. August .

Tim Dunn and Charlotte Charles (center) and her new Partner went to the British Foreign Office to ask why Anne Sacoolas was

allowed to leave But , in contrast to the other, the members lose their Grief to break, because she had learned that people had to go to the Harry's accident out of the country.

Under the cloak of Diplomatic Immunity , Anne had made Sacoolas ends, not even for an investigation or explanation. Under these circumstances, it was too tempting, as a parent, upside down from Grief to anger.

Except that Tim and Charlotte have not yet made the journey in your thoughts about Anne Sacoolas. Instead, they traveled to the United States , to try to answer your questions, not Retribution .

Charlotte , Charles and Tim Dunn dozens of interviews In America

In The Days that have passed since their arrival in the United States , I noticed that due to their lack of ill-will towards MS Sacoolas. I've heard you say again and again that you are A Mother , a wife, a person, not some caricature of evil, in need of punishment.

What you feel towards her is pity.

you have to cross, do you feel you should not have been forced to take on The Atlantic ocean, to convince, to confront them to return, the consequences of their actions. For you, this is also a morality story, as it is a criminal law.

listen to Tim and Charlotte say to Mrs Sacoolas should do "The Right thing" and come back.

That is what makes all this so confusing for you. After a life of viewing The World as right and wrong, black and white, Harry ' s death and its consequences has started and you are in a zone of ambiguity.

As they left America with your target difficult, your questions remain unanswered you may not understand why. The whole week you have staggered a learning curve so steep, it has left them in a state of disbelief. They are emaciated and exhausted by lack of sleep, by re-interviews, exhausted from the energy she has brought in to save the many offerings of the TV-studio-coffee and carbonated Drinks .

"Why," asks Tim , "should I say it again, to see my experience, how Harry lying on The Road , blood-stained, and his bones are exposed, the skin not its broken if it lead to results?"

"Why," says Charlotte , "should I have to Keep Talking , my dear, revered son, if No One is listening?"

has to listen to A person. He, too, is not usually.

When The Call came through that Tim and Charlotte were to the White house, she had no idea they were to meet with President Trump, only the "senior officials". It was only when they stepped out of The Oval Office, that you have fully recognized who you had an audience.

President Trump asked the pair whether they wanted to meet Anne Sacaloos, which was in the next room,

For 15 Minutes or so, a GP surgery, workers-and maintenance-engineering, The Ear of The World , the most powerful man. To come to disbelief, to explain her state of mind.

"I saw the coat-of-arms on the carpet, and it looked like all of the movies and TV shows I had seen," says Tim .

"He is not, as you see him on TV," says Charlotte , "he is no fool, he is polite. "

But then the bombshell, a moment of theatre was so unexpected, it could only have been choreographed by a top-ringmaster: The President showed Anne Sacoolas waited in a side room.

"We were horrified," says Charlotte . "We had no idea she was there. "

"It was wrong, just wrong. we were not ready," adds Tim .

The President asked the couple several times if she wanted to meet you. Never powerful be, just be persistent.

I asked Tim and Charlotte , if it was hard to resist an offer such as this from The President of the United States in the imposing splendour of The Oval Office?

"Not really," says Tim . "This must be handled with care, we are so vulnerable right now. "

"That's not what we got here," says Charlotte , with the nonchalance of someone used to turning down offers of heads of state and government.

"It was a stunt, pure and simple," says Radd Seiger, the retired American lawyer, in the vicinity of Tim and Charlotte live, and your trusted confidant. "It was a circus, The President wanted a photo op, this thing to bed. "

"To sweep it under the crested-President -carpet, maybe?" I Ask You A Question.

"Exactly," he says.

Charlotte described her son as a "loving boy"

"His hand in farewell turned in a hand-shake at the end," says Charlotte . "As he took my hand, I seized it and looked him in the eyes and asked him if he would do the same as we will do, if it be a son".

The President replied that he would not, that was the only question. The Meeting between the two parents and A Mother both stared at the human devastation that is happening from different sides of the same shattered prism never.

"We need you to come back to England," says Charlotte , "this is the only way how it will end. "

Later, I ask you: "What is Harry like?"

"He was nice," says Tim . "I can't remember ever so Bad Words with him. We loved our football, now it's over. "

"I wish you had met him," says Charlotte . "He was a loving boy. He was so kind and gentle. I can't stand that he's gone, I can't talk to him or laugh with him. I'm not going to be able to life to share experiences with him, what I refer to as "mom-moments". "

Her Eyes now fully moistened by the effect of her own words, she says: "I'm feared to return To My normal life, like all those emotions lined up from our trip to America, to be unpicked. "

As you have to pack the suitcase and back to the UK, they are underpinned tempted by the thoughts you have, at least, to do your best for Harry, But to accept the not-yet-a.

similar to their Grief .
