What one of us has not at some time in our little lives done something we wish we had’nt, some of us were lucky, I was raised by a single mom and she did just fine, but a parent can not be with a teenage child at all times, there comes a time when you have to hope that what you have taught them has gotten through. We all have accidents even as (OH MY) adults and we learn from them (we hope.) I hope for this young mans speedy recovery and I hope the family doesnt read all of these hurtful posts on here.

second of all. the picture of the vehicle is not the side of the car the go cart hit. the hwy patrol said their was very little damage where the go cart hit. If the driver of the car had not been speeding she possibly could have stopped. If Jacobs brakes had not failed (because he had been working on them) he possibly would have stopped,rather than going through the stop sign. I’m sure he did not set out to cause this accident, he is a very respectful kid

first of all, the accident did not occur at bet raines and 95A, the accident occured at bet raines and nicholson rd. so I don’t see how people on 95A seen anything.but they sure can make remarks and judge .

Jacob and his family have my prayers during this troubling time. I would like to say to all of the people who are asuming that his parental guidance is lacking that you obviously do not know his mother or his grandparents or other extended family. This family has more love and more values than you can possibly imagine. All this was is a simple accident and we should be thanking God that no one was injured more.. Hopefully Jacob will make a full recovery, cars can be replace and so can go carts but people cannot.
Please remember as you so casually sling your comments on NE.com that the next accident could happen to your child and you could be the parent with your child in the hospital, in pain… reading such hurtful and negitive things. I wonder why people are not pouring out love and prayers to both parties in this accident instead of critisim.
Kim, Jacob, Barbara, and Family hang tough we love you!

You guys are all talking about how this child and his parents are irresonsible. About what should or could have happened. Not about the incident with child himself. How do you think he feels about all of this stuff. Do you understand how he must FEEL. Yes he was imature, reckless, and it Could Have been worse. But thats the thing, it could have been. He is in the Hospital in pain thinking about that. Why should he be punished anymore?
Why?

To jjones- you have obviously never been to Molino. Your comment is very sad and immature. This kid is my cousin and what he did was STUPID, but nobody is perfect and im glad he is ok.

I see children and adults driving go-karts, lawn mowers, and golf carts on 95A (and other roads). A friend of mine was killed while mowing on the side of the road. This horrifies me every time I see it, and I hope people, young and old will learn not to do this on busy (and not-so-busy) roads. Look at it this way: it doesn’t matter if you are right or wrong…the larger vehicle gets less damage and someone gets hurt or killed!!

Feeling bad for the kid and the other driver, but he was lucky it was only a Prius… Next time it may be a F350, then it may not turn out so well…
