Default A New Leaf.... and a boy under a truck

I'm not quite sure. I *watched* a neighbor back his van over one
of his children -- who had dashed under it to retrieve a ball
(horrible feeling seeing something like that unfold in front of your
eyes and being powerless to do anything about it!)

The kid ended up wearing a back brace after that. Not sure what
the eventual outcome was (I moved away shortly thereafter).


Agree; that does sound miserable to watch.

This won't change your nightmare, but I saw
close to such a situation once. The boy about
three years old was running around as the
father backed the rental truck in. I picked
up the boy and held him as I stood in miror
sight of Dad and waved him in. Figured Dad
could see that his boy was not under a wheel.
Not sure if the Dad figured out the reason,
but I'm pleased to say the boy was not injured.
