I believe I was always told not to walk out between cars, you would think that all children are told this. And especially when there is high traffic like that going on. I do hope this child is okay and hope that others will learn from this mistake.

Gail, what they failed to mention is that this child was severely bullied at MHS. There were a handful of witnesses that saw him get PUSHED in front of the car. Bulling has been an issue for the school since I was a student. They need to take more action. That sort of thing can affect a kid for the rest of his or her life.
