So devastating *contains upsetting information*

Another warning about toddler safety from me unfortunately :(

Last night a little boy from DD2's childcare and part of DD1's school family was hit by a car and passed away this morning. He was with his family and ran off out of the school gate straight onto a very busy main road. He was only 4.

My heart goes out to his poor family, his mum who was with him and the driver who hit him. RIP little man.

Please remember to keep hold of your children around roads and drill the road safety aspect until you are blue in the face. It only takes a split second and they are gone.

Oh god, no :(
My heart is aching. That poor, poor family :cry:

i read your FB status and then seen the news report. My heart hurts. It's terrible to hear of such a horrible tragedy. I think it is hitting home for me moreso because you know them

My thoughts are with the family, the driver and their family, and with your community Nai

Oh no :hug:
It's so frightening when kids run like that

OMG! How horrible!

:hug: What an awful tragedy.

i was worried when i read that it was your neighbourhood last night :( RIP little man :(

Oh that is so sad, I heard it on the news last night also and thought how tragic it was for everyone involved.

I'm so so sorry. Sending you all love and hugs.

:( Awful. Love to the family and all of you who knew him. xox

Oh Nai :hug:

I am sorry xx

Oh my...what a heartbreaking tragedy :(
RIP little man
:hug:

That is so sad :hug: It can happen so easily, can't it? Just last weekend my 4yo DS was chasing a balloon at a party in a park an there was a car backing out from a driveway across the road from the park. I would like to think that DS would have stopped at the road anyway without a heap of us yelling at him to stop and running to grab him, but you just never know.

My thoughts are with everyone touched by the loss :hug:

How terrible :cry:

I always get that feeling of panic when I see a little one near a road without their parents holding their hand.

RIP little one.

The Man told me about this tragedy as he was driving the kids and I to the local festival to be in the parade with child care. I couldn't believe it. I thought about it the whole time that we were standing on the road waiting for the parade to begin.

My deepest condolences for everyone around this little darling. :hug:

Oh no, how awful! :(

My heart breaks for his family and BIG :hug: to you

It is SO important to teach our littlies the importance of road safety and we should NEVER take our eyes off them :cry:

absolutely tragic.

Sometimes it is so hard to get ourselves out of the mentality that it wont happen to us.

RIP little man, our thoughts and prayers are with him, his fmaily and friends and the driver of the car.

:( RIP little one, so so sad.

RIP little man what a tragedy, thinking of the poor family xoxo

My heart goes out to the family, those involved, anybody who witnessed it and the emergency services crew who had to deal with it.

Fly free little man, dance with the angels.

Huge hugs to you and your DDs.

Oh no :crying:

Such a heartbreaking tragedy ! :(

RIP little man

Lots of love to all who knew him :hug:
xoxo

That's just awful, I can't even imagine...

RIP little man.

My thoughts are with the family and person driving :(
Such a terrible accident.
:hug: Nai

I heard this on the radio just before. Such a tragedy. I'm so sorry nai, that this has struck so close to home.
My heart goes out to all involved.

Oh how terrible!

I am going to be speaking with the boys school on monday to be asking a reminder be put in the news letter about road safety. On Friday I had a bunch of yr 7/8 kids dart across the road on a round about at the school. I was approaching & came to a stop. When it was safe to go, I started just as another boy darted out. I had to break sharply & he just looked at me as ran out past the car laughing! I almost go out to chase him down & thump him one. The bloody idiot.
PLUS I see so so so many kids that are not wearing seatbelts around that school it makes me sick.

Oh no, that poor family!!!
:( :hug: Nai... It makes you realise that even at 40km it can be too fast!! I really hope the car was only doing 40km!!!!!!

Praying for the family

The funeral for little Bram was held today and it was just heartbreaking. His mum spoke about his life and the joy he had brought to their family. I still can't stop crying - she was so brave and strong.

RIP Bram - a little golden angel gone too soon.

Oh Nai :hug: today would have been a very draining day for all of you :hug:

How devestating. The poor family and the poor driver. Their lives will never be the same. We just can't take our eyes off them for a second.

Rest in peace gorgeous little man.

:hug: Nai

Hugs Nai how horrible to attend a childs funeral, thinking of his family at this heartbreaking time xoox

What terrible tragedy, my heart goes out to all affected by it, especially the parents. RIP little darling boy.

That just gave me goose bumps...

so sad, and such a horrible situation.. :(
rip little guy..

:hug: Love and hugs to you and to the little guy's family :(

Nai :hug: it's awful going to a child's funeral. I know it would have torn you heart out. However, I know how much your support will mean to little Bram's family, so I think it's wonderful you went. I hope there was joy as they celebrated his life as well as sorrow for saying goodbye too soon.

Take care and go gently. This will knock you around for a long time.

Oh Nai!!!
