What does this have to do with republicans? Someone died and you’re blaming a political party? What is wrong with you people?
I'm so incredibly sorry. He may have eloped, and my heart is breaking for the family. I'm praying for them. He's only 7 years old, and he may not have understood the danger of running into the street. It's possible he had Autism, but regardless, this is such a heartbreaking tragedy. 😭
For the people asking where are the parents, did yall not read? The dad was with him and suffered injuries too!
Everybody needs to slow down. Take their license away from everyone.
