He was supposed to have been with his aunt and she failed to watch him and went to sleep while two family friends took him to the park across Broadway and while crossing the Broadway a car stopped to allow them to cross but the car behind that car was speeding and not paying attention and went around the stopped car and ran my son completely over. Please pray for him and my family. This is by far the most hardest thing I as a parent have ever had to go through. I don’t know what I’d do without my baby!”
