I wish this little boy a speedy recovery. A law should be passed to make it mandatory that proper helmets be worn by those who ride bicycles whether they are adults or children.
What is wrong with you? an obligatory comment and then onto the soap box. Do you know if child had a helmet?
Valid comment on the helmet as it was a head injury. Even if he was wearing one, no harm is asking other to ensure proper usage of helmets.
Like if a cycling helmet made a difference when being run over by a truck!
Wish him fast recovery!
Omg…the parents must be in a *state* right now.
Thoughts are with you and your son.
Wishing this child a quick recovery. So sad, children should be able to ride their bikes anywhere, drivers should SLOW the hell down. The way people drive here is criminal. My heart goes out to his parents.
