When I see kids near the road while I'm driving, I anticipate them running into it. And I'm right half the time. How dare anyone suggest that 12 year old girls behave like adults ( who jaywalk too )? The Nissan driver is a cold-hearted crimminal and should get the maximum.

That street looks pretty dangerous. I don't think I would've tried jaywalking... but then again, I'm an adult.

make it more difficult to get a license in New York City. too many jackasses think they own the city because they have a 1998 Toyota Pickup

The poor dad. I saw him on tv this morning and he was a mess. I hope the kid pulls through. It is a shame.

The hit and run driver deserves a long spell in prison.

I always find it interesting when people 'sense something' bad happened to their children or family member, and it turns out to be true. I wonder if anyone in the scientific community is studying this type of clairvoyance. Get the Fringe team on it!

Sure, they were jaywalking...but the driver could have stopped?

Yes I am guilty of Jaywalking this morning myself. If I were hit and died, or become a vegetable, I deserved it. They deserved what they got for Jaywalking

"Jaywalking. They deserve to get hit." So do you.

Jaywalking. They deserve to get hit. Their father and mother deserve a ticket for violation of Jaywalking. Why doesn't the news say they are guilty of Jaywalking ?
