i feel really bad for the child, glad he is ok. but honestly how many times in the middle of the day has a child ran out in the road, with parents sitting-standing right there? i had a samolian kid running down the middle of the road right towards the front of my car and his parents were right there. i yelled out the window get ur kid out of the streets. and she just laughed. IF YAH CANT KEEP YOUR KID OUT OF THE STREET OR OUT OF DANGER U SHOULDNT HAVE THEM....
