  1. Mother and her boyfriend is all you need to say. Same old story.

  2. There's no reason for a 4 year old to be wondering on a highway anyways the parents need to be locked up for the rest of their lives

  3. Every parents worst nightmare. And every driver's worst nightmare. Prayers for all.

  4. How does a 4 year old wonder on a highway? Were are the parents?

  5. Lock them section 8 losers up

  6. Note it says staying with his mom and her boyfriend, not husband.

  7. ILLEGAL HIT BY CAR LESS SH*T FOR AMERICA TO TAKE CARE OF.

  8. My sympathy to all involved. πŸ’”

  9. This is why I will live in countryside, cities have become to crazy and corrupted.

  10. Poor guy. He's never going to forget this. Kids are so quick, there one second, gone the next! RIP little man

  11. How did a 6yr old get onto the highway… Where was his parents???? … I'm thinking meth heads. SMH

  12. the way to happiness does not include murdering or your friends your family or yourself being murdered the way to happiness does not include the fear of being found out we have to be good for your state not just hurting someone's feelings same with Children has a vision Nightmare all of the people in your state Police officers is trying to help you without any arguing with their excuse or try not to mess with police officers if you Murder illegal right they will fed up with you in jail or prison

  13. God bless πŸ™ this little boy angels

  14. When I was a kid, I sleepwalked one night and opened the door to get out. Luckily my mom was awake to chase after me. Later someone I know had a teenage daughter who one night all the sudden sleepwalked outside. The whole family panicked. Luckily they found her asleep in the garden. So you don't know that the mother was negligent. Parents aren't superhumans, there are moments that they don't have control over. Kids can also be mischievous and think that they can do what they want in the dark. When I was a kid, I loved to hang around in my complex at night too, thinking nobody would bother me

  15. And Indiana just banned all abortion rights. ! πŸ™„
    Sometimes kids wander OFF. Driver is responsible, period. 😝

  16. WHAT THE F POOR KID!! SOOOO SAD!! TIME FOR PARENTS TO BE TAKEN!!

  17. Make it law to file for pregnancy so only the responsible and wealthy can have kids. Also you should have to be alteast 25 or 30 to have kids. Make it law. Too many mouths to feed in this world

  18. kids are smart and can easily figure out how to unlock doors even ones with chains on top. i’ve seen kids move chairs, boxes, etc and reach things that are high up. while this parent might have been irresponsible, it could have been any combination of things. might want to wait to pass judgment.

  19. Charge the parents if the parents were black they would charge the parents

  20. Victims are the poor baby boy and the driver who is traumatized by this accident…. the stupid parents should be more responsible!

  21. beyond unacceptable and irresponsible on the parents' behalf. don't have a kid if you couldn't be arsed to look after him and childproof your entryways……

  22. The first question is why a 4-year-old is wandering around alone outside at 4am?? That's the cause of this tragedy. Arrest whoever's responsible for that! That poor baby. And that poor driver.

  23. like canada get health care if your let satan take your kid,,im sure when i was four me mudder would let me play next to hiways also …

  24. This reminds me a couple of weeks ago when l was walking out of a store and I noticed a 3-4 year old running out into the parking lot alone. I grabbed him by his hand and had to find his Mom, but if there was a car coming he would of been hit for sure.

  25. oh she was almost old enough to be forced to have a baby in Indiana.

    that's the biggest tragedy to republicans.

  26. An accident, and certainly not the driver’s fault.

  27. Not gonna talk bad about nobody cause I don't know, but my condolences to the parents… I would be devastated and really really really hurting in this type of situation.. RIP πŸ™ Lil Angel…

  28. Prayers for everyone involved..especially that poor driver…and the mother

  29. RIP Little Man, you could feel the emotions as the Chief spoke on it.. Horrific, prayers to the driver for having to deal with this..

  30. How does a 4 year old wander off? PARENTS FAULT
    Their responsibility to KNOW WHERE THEIR CHILD IS 24/7/365

  31. Arrest the family now!!
