Keep Those Kiddos Safe
So I don't know this kiddo directly but he does go to my ex-wife's school, Arvada K-8, and she knows him. Gage was hit by a car while walking to school on Wednesday morning. From what I hear he is pretty messed up. As my 8 and 10 year old boys get ready for Halloween I can only imagine him and his plans for tonight. Keep your kids safe out there tonight.

"Gage was recently hit by a vehicle while walking to school. Four of his siblings were with him at the time. Gage has had surgery on his arm, leg, and jaw, and has several more surgeries scheduled. Gage has a long road of recovery ahead of him.
Gage is 9 years old, the fourth child of eight. He marches to the beat of his own drum and is a very curious child. He loves playing dolls with his sisters, cars with his younger brothers, and sports/video games with his older brother. He is lively and energetic, keeping mom and dad constantly on their toes."

No 9 year old should have to endure that.

Ban cars.....for the children.......if it saves one life.....not one more.
All sarcasm aside, best wishes for a speedy recovery to the little guy and his family.
Agree with BG, no kiddo should have to endure that.

Best wishes to the little man. My wife was ran over by a car when she was 8 but lucked out compared to this guy. That's terrible.

Terrible what happened to kid., linked text doesn't mention catching driver or who's fault?
But 8 damn children?? Might have more money for medical bills if they had more sane 2-3..

Do you know any details of the driver? Elderly? DUI? Not paying attention? I'd be curious to know this as my money is on elderly. My wife had something similar happen to her when she was about that boy's age. Old lady actually drove up onto a sidewalk and took her out head on after suddenly swerving for no reason. She basically didn't even know she had done it. We were just talking about a friend who had their son run over by an elderly man and the kid will never be right. In all situations the driver had zero business driving and were well beyond legally blind coupled with a myriad of sudden an reoccurring medical conditions. I would love to see some stats of this compared to children (or even adults) injured/killed by guns. My guess is that the #'s are staggering since almost everyone knows at least one child/adult who has been hit (either in the car or otherwise) by an elderly person who has no business behind the wheel of a car. Not sure why those so worried about the safety of children don't take on that glaring problem.

Because it is difficult to tell adults what to do, that's why. Same issue as forcing people to take their meds.

Very sad, hope he recovers fully and gets back to having fun being a kid
