You never know what you would do until you’re in those shoes. It’s a terrible thing that happened to both families… He was unaware of what he hit until he came back to check. And when he realized what happened, he turned himself in. He did the right thing and now he has to live with unintentionally hitting a kid for the rest of his life… He feels horrible.. accidents happen everyday and just think, this could’ve been you. On either side of the spectrum. My condolences to the family. Both families are in my prayers.
God Bless and Heal the Family May the Love,Peace & Grace of God Overtake This Family,RISD Family & the Community Let’s Us Pray and Come Together as a Community to Uphold the Family in Many Trying Days to Come
God Bless Victors family, How anyone could Leave the scene after hitting another Human Being is beyond my scope of understanding. What has happened to our respect for one another ? What has happened to respect for Human Life? this is beyond reprehensible.
Ken yes it is extremely sad that even if he hit a dear a someones pet or in this case a child , Why do you not stop ? This is just plain terrible more then an accident it negligence .
