ugh three-year-olds are literally so innocent i can only imagine how traumatic it must be for their family 
they did say that the driver stayed at the scene tho which is a good thing, i guess? anyway i was thinking we should all take our time when driving especially around kids parks and stuff, it's just not worth risking anyone's life 
it's like they say life's unpredictable but it hurts so much when it happens to little kids 
I mean, what's going on with these roads? It feels like every other day there's some kind of tragedy. And the worst part is, we don't even know all the details yet... 
Like, was it a freak accident or something? Did someone maybe not see the kid standing there? Ugh, it's just so sad. You can't even walk down the street without worrying about getting hit by a car anymore. And what really gets me is that it could've been prevented if only... 
Anyway, my thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the little one too.
This is just another example of how these new-fangled cars are gonna be the death of us! 
I mean, what's next? Autonomous cars that can't even watch out for little tykes?! And the driver who was driving like a maniac and hits an innocent child... that's some reckless behavior right there. And don't even get me started on how fast these new-fangled roads are building up. It's just a matter of time before someone gets hurt again. 
this is literally heartbreaking lol can't even imagine a world where this kinda thing happens to kids like that... it's just so senseless 
anyway, what's really weird is how quick the driver was to stay at the scene & cooperate with cops, should've seen some red flags or not? 
However, I do wish more details would be released - it's hard to move forward without understanding what happened. 
I mean, I've seen some crazy stuff in my time, but this one takes the cake (or should I say, the ice cream cone from the Quaker Meeting House 
). Anywayz, gotta send thoughts to the little one's family... RIP, kiddo 
.
that little one got hit by a car on cape cod. like, only 3 years old 
. doesnt it seem like some areas should have speed limits or cameras to catch reckless drivers? 
It's just one of those things where you're driving along and suddenly... not a chance. And now they've got some investigation going on... I hope they find out what happened so they can make sure it doesn't happen again. My thoughts are with that family too...
. No one should ever have to go through that kind of pain. The authorities are doing what they can, but sometimes it feels like no matter what we do, these kinds of tragedies keep happening 
.
... what if there was a way to prevent these kinds of accidents from happening? we should all be looking into ways to prevent it 
...
. Just thinking about that little one's family going through this is just heartbreaking 
. I hope the investigation brings us some answers, but more importantly, let's all hold that child's family in our thoughts and prayers during this really tough time 
.
A three-year-old's life cut short in an instant
