I am so sorry that this family has lost their little boy in such a tragic way. I am sure the driver of the vehicle that struck the little boy feels just as bad too.

What I didn't see in the article is whether the driver was speeding. I watch the news every night and I saw this segment aired too. The driver was not cited nor arrested. This could only mean that the driver did nothing wrong and that the child was not being properly supervised.

It is therefore my opinion, that the speed bumps are not going to deter good driver's from driving better. I am sorry but I can't agree to the added exspense for these road bumps.

I do however suggest that the city conduct a speed study on that street and if after the study is conducted if they reccomend the "bumps" then by all means install them.

In the meantime, lets remind ourselves as parents, that we must teach are children not to run into the street.

God must have needed this little boy to be with him.

My condolences to all concerned.
