Have you ever had a child sneak out of the house while you were asleep? Do not jump on the parents until you know the facts. Prayers for this child that they will be okay. As for the driver you will be caught and you will pay!
Prayers for this child.
I ask this question to the driver, “How can you just leave?”
I must say, you’re a cold hearted person!
Even if you are not at fault, toxicology reports can be damming.
If you must walk in the road after midnight, I would suggest reflective clothing.
Child Services needs to investigate the circumstances of this teenager.
Dear wow:
Where did the 9-Mile Road part of your question come from?
The driver probably would not face any charges for hitting the teen. So there must be another reason for leaving. DUI or outstanding warrants possibly.
How in the hell do you not stop?
Trust me when I say this. The FHP will open an investigation but will not follow up on any leads. They’ve been given name and vehicle descriptions and whereabouts of another case from a few years ago and have done nothing!!! They wouldn’t follow up on any of the leads.
Wow: As far as questioning why the child was out so late: it doesn’t MATTER! What matters is someone didn’t have the courage and common decency to check on the child. What kind of human leaves someone on the side of road like that.
wow, no responsibility or compassion on the drivers part at all. What the heck is wrong with people anyway. Hope the kid recovers okay……but that being said, wth is a 15 year-old kid doing walking down 9-mile rd. after midnight? Did the parents(or parent) k now the kid was out of the house? They should be looked at too.
