Hit and Run

A brother and sister from Leeds are fighting for their lives after being mowed down by a hit-and-run driver as they walked home from a shop to buy onions for the family meal.

It has been asked "What kind of person leaves two children lying there just bleeding in the road?" I think we should ask the question "What kind of parent allows their 10 year old and 2 year old to go to the shop alone?"

 Am I the only one whos getting this?? Yes, a 10 year old and a two year old were allowed to make a journey that means crossing a road. Was this a busy road? Who the hell knows but it was busy enough that day!

 Accidents do happen and children are hurt on the roads every day. This driver shouldnt have left the scene, period. BUT!!!!!! Why were these two children allowed to make the journey alone? They were buying onions for a family meal, I emphasise the word FAMILY. Youre telling me that there wasnt one responsible adult in that house that couldve gone to the shop instead. Oh no wait, dont tell me, the 18 month old baby was cooking the meal and far two busy juggling knives in the kitchen to make the journey himself.

 Jesus wept!

 I have myself been witness to such an accident many years ago. The thing I remember the most was the sound and the utter fear I felt until I saw that child get up from the road herself. She was lucky but she still took one hell of a hit and I was shaking for hours.

 Dont get me wrong I wouldnt wish this on any child or parent for that matter and Im not saying that they deserved such an awful thing to happen to them but in my mind the parents are responsible for the accident almost as much as the driver.
