Well, that was rude! I live near the hospital and we were wondering what in the world was going on! So thanks for updating us, Kym!

You live near the hospital, ambulances go there ALL DAY LONG! Kym does not need to tell you about them. If you want to know so bad, go get your EMT license and help people and be productive instead of just being nosey.

I think some people should not be behind the wheel of a car.

Why the fuck was a 3 year old in the street

Because unfortunately 3 year olds don’t listen all the time, and obviously whoever was supposed to be watching the kid wasn’t paying attention…. Is it really that big of a mystery. Fact is, people drive through this area high on meth or not, like they are doing the indy 500….

I remember a day a nice policeman returned my diapered but otherwise naked 18mo old child who he had found in the street while I was on the phone. Yikes!! She had learned how to operate the baby gate that had worked so beautifully until then. Well she had been warning me. She kept saying “I not a baby.” I got lucky and no harm came. She’s all growed now, so it’s just a funny story. I hope the same is true for this kid and parent in a few years.

Also, you obviously don’t have kids, three year olds aren’t focused on safety, and they very well know when no one is paying attention to what they are doing. Could have been a puppy a crossed the street and the kid wanted to pet it. This was in front of the boys and girls club, could have been a ball rolling out into the street…..

I doubt that based on your prior response. That or you must be one of those parents that spends more time on their phone than interacting with their kids!

Another note, the large blue building in the background is a boys and girls club. People driving in the area should know to pay extra close attention….

When you are out with a child and you are not holding their hand, you should always, always have your eye on them, especially if your near a street.

It’s so easy to blame the victim when you weren’t there and have no idea what actually happened.

Thank you so much for your caring in this matter. This baby’s Name is Sammy and he is my grandson. Some people can be so hurtful. Not thinking that this precious little man of ours may have been with a sitter. Or his older brother and Sisters who saw the entire thing and have all had the life scared out of them. They couldn’t go to the hospital to make sure their brother was going to be ok. They only saw him put on a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance. There were so many factors in this situation that most people don’t consider before say hateful things. And I have to mention that yes the girl who hit him may have been speeding but she also did her best to miss Sammy. And she stopped at the scene and stayed with him until she talked with the police. I am so thankful for her quick thinking. It could have been so much worse. If this young woman would not have been paying attention, or if she wouldn’t have seen him. Sammy would not be with us today!

Just so everyone knows this was my grandson. His name is Sammy. He was with his older brother and sister. And a babysitter. So before you jump to conclusions and assume that the parents are to blame. With comments like some people should not be allowed to breed. You should stop yourself from being hateful and think for one second that this is most likely the most terrifying and traumatic thing the entire family has been through. Not just the child, but the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters. So your hateful remarks do do anything but make a horrific incident worse. For those who genuinely care our little Sammy is doing well. The ER docs called him a little miracle man. He was hit by a car hoing 35+miles per hour and had no broken bones or any internal injuries. A few scrapes and bruses. We are all entirely gratefull he is with us today.

Im happy to NOT be reading about another hit and run. Hope the baby is ok. Last summer my son locked himself in old dryer. I was frantic looking everywhere. I had a good laugh after i found him. Kids do what they do…
