8yr old hit by a car

Ok now some will hate me if they read this, but just seen the news and read online about the boy who was hit by a car then the drive backed up and ran over him, then fled away.

Now my first reaction was concern for the child...BUT he was clearly in the street !!!  I blame the parents for not watching thier children.  I dont let my son out in the front yard let alone out in the street to play. That is pure neglect of the parent and I feel they should be sited in some way from the city.

A prime example is I live right off a main road.  Just last night 6 children were having a running race right out in the middle of the street after 9:30pm !! Ive already seen one child get hit by a semi on our street, this was like bowling pins just willing to get hit.

Then you have the parents crying  Oh my BABY, my BABY...but they dont see how this all could of been avoided.  I feel for the person who hit the child just as much as for the child that was hit.  It is a shame the city can made so many rules and looks real good on paper, but nothing is ever enforced.

This is one time child services need to step in and check out where the parents were of this child when he was playing in the street !!

If you hit a kid in a bad neighborhood, you should definitely keep driving and drive to the nearest police station. Because if you stop, the neighborhood is gonna beat you to death.

OMFG, who would be driving their car in such a way as to not know what is going on around them? I agree with what you wrote, however the person driving the car was doing what when they were driving, on a cell phone? To not notice that you ran a kid over is so inexcusable to me it is pathetic!!!!!! To me there is no excuse to not know or be aware of kids if they are close to the road. I feel for this family and even the driver of the car. To me it is not hard to be on the look out for people, and animals when driving a car. It is not rocket science!!!!! God bless and have a great day, Karl.

karl,i agree with you,but also looking at this from anthoer side,kids are known to be quick,they can dart out in front of you in a second,i am by no means defending the driver of the car,nor the parnets of the child,i am just saying children as well as animals are quick,i too feel for the families

Lost in Ohio, why would they have to back up to see what they hit? In other words to not even know what you hit, that is a person not paying attention to where they are driving. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that the driver was on a cell phone. God bless from Karl.
