And where were the parents??
ReplyDeleteSo is that the best you could come up with to try and get something started 5:56,accidents happen sometimes you know,you automaticly want to blame the parents for an accident,why dont you just shut your mouth and go check on YOUR kids and make sure they arent out selling drugs or something!
ReplyDeleteAccidents DO happen but I dont know if golf carts are appropriate for such young children.ALOT of kids in my rural area have them and sometimes they actually operate them on public roadways,further increasing their risks of an accident.I hope the little boy is alright.
ReplyDeletePraying for this family. A hard lesson for them to have to learn. People make mistakes and accidents do happen.
ReplyDeleteI guess this means government golf cart regulations. This is the kind of stuff they they love-another excuse to regulate something else. Just wait and see-it will happen.
ReplyDeleteThis statement is not correct. I am the 10 year old girl and I had nothing to do with this accident. When I stepped off the golf cart he jumped up front and drove into the tree. He is fine.
