Two children in my town were injured in very similar situations today. It’s just awful. They were right near their school. People need to be careful! I have seen even parents driving dangerously right after they pick their kids up – too fast, or looking at their phone, clearly unsafe behaviour.

This is such a sad sad story and it seems to be happening a lot lately.

I can’t stop thinking about this poor little boy and his family. What a tragic thing to happen to them. I don’t understand how anyone could leave the scene, if they were at fault or not. I really hope he wasn’t aware of being alone. It’s a tortuous thing to think about. I hope his family have so much love surrounding them right now

This is horrendous !! So the offending driver was aware of the collision, stopped and got out of her vehicle and just got back in her vehicle and left ?? What in the world !! Glad that she is now in custody and assisting inquiries, she should be charged when she is at fault.
My heart goes out to the family. Rest in peace precious boy

This is an absolutely horrific accident and it is completely heartbreaking for the poor family, I do hope the poor family is surrounded by a wealth of support and loved ones at such a terrible time. I hope the investigation into the accident is swift and they get answers and justice.

I cannot believe this woman was so cruel and heartless to stop and then carry on driving. Especially at her age, she should know better! Shame on her. Im glad they were able to find her and put her in custody for questioning. That poor boy definitely did not deserve it.

How very very awful. It sounds awful too that the driver left the scene, but perhaps she was in shock or thought she was going for help… I don’t want to judge yet. But no matter what, that’s a dreadful accident to happen. His poor siblings, and parents. It will be devastating.

Oh this is absolutely devastating. I can’t even imagine the grief this poor family must be feeling right now. Losing a child would honestly be the worst pain you could ever have to go through and the poor siblings seeing it happen. That’s something you’d never really get over 🙁 So, so sad..
