It wasn’t the lack of speed bumps that killed that boy, it was the lack of parenting. Stop trying to blame the local government for your lack of responsibility
A 5 year old running the streets alone is absolutely insane . The parents need to be charged.
100%
30 yrs to life
@@markpranck2508 not a fantastic idea to make his sister parent less as well.
Totally agree with you.
Exactly! 💯💯💯 I said the same thing
That have nothing to do with speed bumps a five year old alone in the park. His parents needs to be changed
My thoughts exactly! Where were his parents? This is why children need supervision!
Most of us knew at 3 years old to not dart past the gutter. We never stepped off the sidewalk without an adult.
Having a 5 yrs old at a park alone is crazy
Seems like a latchkey/neglected kid situation. The parents could care less about that poor child, they should be charged.
No more speed bumps. Raise your f-cking kids. It's not the world's responsibility. It's yours. What a shame, the poor kid's parents are nowhere to be found. R.I.P. little one.
No we need speed bumps. I constantly see people go 60mph in school zones and near playgrounds. You are not important enough to be somewhere 2 minutes sooner.
@@keypeng4164People don't know how to cross the street.
Its heartbreaking but at some point the parents should be held accountable. Feel bad for the driver. Regardless how slow u drive, u cant avoid the tragedy like this one.
Instead of responsible PARENTING teaching kids to look LEFT THEN RIGHT THEN LEFT AGAIN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE STREET, the first thing they would want is to lower the speed again , maybe this time to 6.3 mph .
@@sudeshramdhanie6216 people speed. period. the speed limit is there for a reason.
@@keypeng4164 regardless of slow ur going, u couldn’t avoid a tragedy like this. Only way this could be avoided if parents didntlet the kid on his own in park. He is a kid.
What kind of parents are they.😢
They are from Guatemala 🇬🇹
Where is his parents at? They should be watching there kids at all times
Horrible parents!
The immigrants that live in college point, Corona, Jackson heights let their young kids roam around freely it’s fucking crazyyyyyyy literally crazy
Where was his momma she should of been watching him
Or his father.
Parwnts responsibly and she’s talking about speed bumps smh
Wow!! 😢they the parents should go to jail for this
So sad 5 years old 😢
They gonna use this to lower the speed limit to 20mph just watch. Where the parents? You know Sammy’s law, the kid that died died in similar way. Speeding wasn’t a factor. The govt and press just says that so they could pass bill. I found original article for incident. Sammy ran into the street to get a ball. The car in front saw him and stopped even tho light was green. The car behind that one didn’t see the boy just green light and went around stopped car. That’s how he died. But yet they use his case to get the speed limit dropped for a blatant money grab
And it always SO THIS WON'T HAPPEN TO ANOTHER KID AGAIN, BULLSHIT! Parents need to be held responsible , unless it's an obvious reckless driver of which there are many out there also.
They already approved the speed limit reduction to 20 mph, which I sure will be enacted soon. This unfortunate incident will now give the excuse to drop the limit to 10 mph, which is also approved in the new bill.
@@sudeshramdhanie6216 the thing is it will always happen because there are always terrible drivers that are uninsured or unlicensed. They will speed no matter what the limit is. Lowering the limit just makes it easier for the everyday driver to get caught by a speeding camera. I bet you they are going to install more cameras in the name of public safety when we all know it’s a cash grab.
A 20 mph limit around a park sounds very reasonable. Cars weigh a lot, and pedestrians don't stand a chance when hit by cars, not to mention large pick ups and SUVs, at higher speeds. A drivers right to rush does not supersede a pedestrians right to survive while walking
@@ssquints8056 that’s the thing it won’t only be around parks it will be citywide, like ocean parkway which will one day be 20mph speed limit where before 35-40 mph was the average speed before deBlasio vision zero bullcrap. Like I said speed isn’t the factor in most accidents it’s driver error and distraction.
That is really sad, the kid was all alone
😮Unbelievable 😞
The driver must also be devastated. He died alone, the same way he lived.
His parents failed him, driver did nothing wrong, No one is suppose to cross the street between parked cars, it is actually illegal. I Always remind Elderly people to not cross between parked cars as it is illegal and dangerous. So sad to die a young age, Sounds like a little boy that loved playing in the park. 😢😢
It seems that the Park was his babysitter, being that he was left there many times alone before.
heart breaking
Where the parents were???😢
Instagram!
Or facebook😂
Sorry ladies you can’t just expect responsibility from one side. As in this case , it wasn’t the drivers fault. So let’s see them suggest what we can do about these kinds of parents so this doesn’t happen to another kid
Now that driver will be traumatized. The parents should not let a 5 yr old by themselves in the park. They are terrible parents so frigging sad
So sad 😞
Feel bad for that neglected kid and the driver. I hope both of them get justice against the neglect, and probably the other kids of the same parents
You hope they get justice against the neglect !?? Huh ? 🤦
Good parents are the only precautions you need
🙏 senseless and heartbreaking
It's the parent's fault.
: (. Sorry for the child. A new angel in heaven. Some people have no business being parents.
where was the parent?
Will the parents be charged with neglect?
Thwy should be!
😢 Poor little, innocent boy!
She’s talking about speed bumps 🤦🏾♀️
Holy 💩. You know what this means, they will demand a 15 mph speed limit.
It’s already at five.
No Criminality????...No reckless endangerment of a minor, child neglect abuse... situational ethics and charges.
Im sorry the little boy got hit but the rule has always been " cross as the green not in between" or cross at the corners only, and this is decades before speed bumps. A small childs body os no match for motor vehicle.
There used to play a commercial during all kids shows cross at the green not inbetween.
Speed bumps would not have helped this young boy not be hit! And if he's always playing by himself without his parents, does he live by himself? Where are the guardians of this young boy now deceased? This is terribly unfortunate and very sad exclamation point and the poor lady that hit him probably will be traumatized for so many years to come.
this is the fault of the parents, the driver and child were unlucky.
Update about the parents or guardian
RIP Little boy
What sorrow!! 😢 We pray for him and for his grieving family. ❤
Horrible! The parents need to charged or whoever was in charge!
The driver is hurting/ crushed. I have a 6 going on 7 year old. How the f*** you let your child go to the park unattended. That's pure child neglect
They took the boy all the way to Jacobi?!
This is completely on the parents not the driver. Who let's a 5 year old run unsupervised? And they said this wasn't the first time.
Poor driver.
Terrible. Seems the poor boy was unloved during his very limited life. What a damn shame.
Oh yeah. Speed bumps and cameras- very important things to talk about, especially when speed limits are to be lowered by the government. And nobody, f.cking NOBODY talking about culture of behavior and education. Driver has absolutely no chance to prevent deadly encounter. This can happen to anyone who is driving in nyc. Good luck to all of us.
what is going on in Queens?
Don't blame others,, it's parents fault and children must keep an eye and ears on them at all times 😢
Correct, EYES N EARS
Irresponsable parents, because a 5 year old child shouldn’t be alone at the park or street.
His parents need to be charged with his Murder. SMDH 😢😢😢😢
Parents are responsible. As a parent you need to watch your child when they are outside. You can't always blame the driver. You can slow down what if that was a truck . Truck is too heavy to do instant break even at 5 miles an hour. The impact of large object would kill or do seeious injuries. Parents need to take responsibility. Same rule applies in the city many pedestrians cross when they should not even if the vehicle is going less that 5 miles. City needs to make restrictions on pedestrians or fine them like in the late 80s.
🙏🏽
It doesn’t seem like he was loved or cared for the way that he should’ve been. He’s being taken care of and loved now.
🙏🏾
That’s probably every driver’s biggest fear when a child runs out into the street…but if the parents were there with the child maybe wouldn’t have happened.!!!!!
Horrible
Some people really don’t deserve children I swear . Whyyyyyyyyy is a 5 year old at the park aloneeeeee
Can’t take her words serious like that friend that just went through tough break up, we get it but that ain’t all of it, caution everyone, city needs everyone’s caution.
If 20 mph will help prevent death then do be it around the playgrounds/schools. Kids are kids. Parents should be taking care of them but sometimes kids run away.
The speed limit is already at 20MPH at schools.
"father" is happy no more child support payments
where
were
the
parents?
This thing is complaining about the speed bumps but NOT THE PARENTS 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
😢poor young soul,never had a chance to grow 😢Rest with the little Angels 💔🤲🙏
where were the boy's parents?
🙏🏼👼🏼🌹
That’s the parents fault
These useless parents know they are in trouble. This poor young lady that accidentally hit this child will be traumatized no doubt and will need therapy. RIP little one… you deserved better. 🌻❤️🦋
The parents should be arrested they clearly dont care
Targeted hit?
Americans ?
Latin, so wasn't the driver. Worst feeling in the world was to watch this happen.
Obviously not . The accents are Spanish .
Are those parents protected illegals? Rip little child and prayers for the driver.
Sanctuary City!
Sanctuary State!
Is the car OK?
Wow. Great parents
Sounds black
Is this all you know how to do, make racist remarks??
