The father of Aiden Clark, the 11-year-old boy who tragically lost his life in a devastating accident in Springfield, Ohio, is speaking out against the exploitation of his son's death for political purposes.

The incident occurred when a minivan driven by a Haitian immigrant who was legally in the U.S. collided with a school bus, resulting in the untimely death of young Aiden Clark.

In a heartfelt statement, Aiden's father expressed his deep sorrow and condemned the use of his son's name as a political tool. He specifically called out prominent political figures, including Donald Trump and JD Vance, for exploiting his son's death for their own gain.

Describing the act as reprehensible and morally bankrupt, the grieving father urged politicians to refrain from using his son's tragic passing as a means to further their political agendas.

He highlighted the names of Bernie Moreno, Chip Roy, JD Vance, and Donald Trump as individuals who have invoked Aiden's name in a political context, emphasizing the need for an immediate halt to such exploitation.

The father's plea for decency and respect in the wake of his son's death serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost behind political rhetoric and the importance of honoring the memory of those who have been lost.
