A 5-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle and killed in Queens on Saturday after he ran out into the street, police say. CBS New York's Alecia Reid reports.
Hard to say. 5 years olds have a lot of curious energy., particularly boys. Now that the days are longer, lot of kids play outside with only the guardians being maybe a sibling, cousin or family friend. Unfortunate though.
Parents should know the whereabouts of their kids That driver will tremendously be affected by this. I wonfer if the parents will be charged for neglect.
I feel for the young driver, he was not at fault. But where was mommy and/or daddy? No excuses for not having full attention on a 5-year-old! Rest in Peace, Lil Guy.
In another video the witnesses say it’s often he go to the playground by himself and said the parents didn’t even come after all the ambulances were their 😢

Some people from the “pedestrians have right of way”crowd will try to blame the driver here but I’m certain the driver did absolutely nothing wrong based on the report. The parents or guardians of this child are 100% responsible. Drivers, Always drive with a dash cam, you never know who the hell will run in front of your car in this crazy city. RIP
I just watched another news channel and they said the kid was at park before without parents. So definitely neglect involved as well as driver recklessness. She was going over speed limit.
Kids will be kids. Parents are responsible and also must pay attention specifically when your child is outside. It's nothing new this is the oldest law in the world. That is why you become a Parent. May the child rest in peace.
He’s right kids dart into the street because they don’t think like adults. They’ll see something they like or want and take off. That’s why it’s better to hold their hands when walking on the sidewalk.
What the gentleman said in this video is 💯 correct, the city needs to put up more signs all around parks etc saying beware of children playing and speed bumps even on hills to avoid accidents like this happening 🙏🏽😔my condolences to the family…
If the kid is unsupervised and runs into the street he can be killed by a car going 15 mph. How much slower should they go? Those signs should also tell parents and guardians to watch their kids.
THE MOTHER IS VERY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF HER CHILD SUCH TRAGIC DEATH CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES MUST TAKE CUSTODY AND NYPD OFFICERS INVESTIGATION OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND ARRESTS FOR CHILD NEGLIGENCE AND ABANDONMENT WHILE THE DETERMINE CAUSE LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT THAT TOOK THE LIFE OF A CHILD LEFT ALONE ON THE STREETS
