Sorry for the family’s loss but JUST LIKE THE TWO GIRLS THAT WERE OUT LATE AND IN THE ROAD………….AGAIN WHY ARE KIDS OUT SO LATE?
When in middle school I had to be in before DARK!!!!
I was a senior in high school and still had to be home by 10:30 but by 8 on school night, was allowed to stay out till 12 Prom night. As long as I lived in my Fathers house I had to abide by his RULES!!! I’m Ridiculed for raising my kids the same way I was. FOLKS SAY I’M TOO HARD ON THEM !!!!!!!
Not saying nothing will happen but I have taken the effert to try to prevent it.
If parents today would raise theirs the way they were raised 30 years ago, the compass schools would not be soooo crowed!!!!

For the “D” man

There is always a homicide investigation when someone dies in a accident where another is involved.

The investigation with the deputy is ongoing. Evidence shows the girl lied and both were in the roadway

The driver has not been arrested or charged as of now.

Both victims parents should be charged with neglect. The girl was out at 430am and the boy at 1030pm. No parental control.

The deputy did not kill the girl. She died from being struck by the deputies car. You want folks to believe the deputy hunted her down.

@The D man….There is Always a traffic homicide investigation when there is a fatality. When the police are involved the investigation is done by the FDLE. (not one of their own) Obviously you are a cop hater, and I guess that’s your business and none of mine. That said, when you spread false information to justify your attitude, then it becomes everyone’s business.

I feel bad for the family of the boy but I also feel bad for the driver who will never forget the nightmare. It is very difficult to see someone at night dart across the street in front of you. A kid on a bicycle did that to me on Cervantes and I almost hit him. Kids need to be inside by dark. They are not old enough to make these judgement calls of crossing a major highway.

Prayers go out to both families.

Pending traffic homicide investigation? What about that cop who just killed a teenage girl? Almost complete same occurance, but wait- the cop is cleared and its ok since he is one of theirs. And still being paid. He should also be charged with traffic homicide if this person is to be arrested and charged and go to court/jail.

This is sad for all the families, the childs and the drivers. When bad things happen it’s human nature to find someone or something to blame but let’s not forget the parents might not have realized their child was out. I’m 58 and admit use to slip out window when I was suppose to be in bed, how many of you did this. Now before blaming parents or the child let’s remember we all have made wrong decisions in our life. Prayers need to go out to all families.

I agree with G, but unfortuantely kids at that age think that “it won’t happen to them”. And it will continue. I am almost 60, and you’d think the kids of today would be smarter, wiser, and more careful than of my generation. Sad to say … NOT.

I know our law enforcement is very busy, but if every time one was passing down 29 and saw anyone (young or old) about to jay-walk, they would stop and start issuing tickets. How many people have to die in a 6 block area before something is done ?

I agree with Everett….parental responsibility is a must. A child should not be out on a bike at 10:30 pm.
