    how stupid, it just shows how a split second decision can make for huge consequences. A friends son was killed when he was hit by a bus, he was 13.

    Thats unbelieveable. Good job for cctv, the poor bus driver probably would have got the blame otherwise. :rolleyes:

    OMG that's terrible! What a complete idiot. Do kids not have any road sense any more? Just rediculous!! When pedestrians get hit people can be very quick to blame the driver and not the pedestrian (just like if a motorcyclist comes off they are to blame not any car driver) - CCTV has proved that this is not always the case and sometimes they do just run out in front. It's completely tragic and the boy was very lucky - how would his mother have come to terms if he had died being so stupid?

    Anyway rant over.

    Gerturdeanna - I wish you all the best for trying again... I'm sure it won't be easy but if you are both willing to make a go of it then I hope all goes well.

    Gingerchick - welcome back. Glad the move went well. Now you've caught up with your emails you'll have to catch up with the comps too... good luck with that!

    What's for breakfast anybody?!

    OMG! :eek:

    If you notice a couple of his friends (that run towards the barrier with him), actually walk off when they see him collapse to the floor. There was 3 mates with him and only one goes to help him. Also none of the drivers appear to get out of their cars too help. I find that just as shocking as this boys thoughtless actions :eek:
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
