To the driver who hit my son yesterday by running a stop sign....

Witnesses aplenty, you ran the stop and knocked him ten feet in the street on his bike. He was on his way to get his police clearance to start a new job the next day.

Offering him $50? Injuries, damage to his only transportation, and insult to his youthful ignorance of the law... all he knew was he could walk, and had to get to the cop shop for that clearance to make that job to pay for his college in September.

Were you on your phone? Do you have kids? Do you realize how close you came to stealing my child from me? Do you feel like you got off lucky? You did, because if I were there, you wouldn't be sitting smug right now. Lucky he never thought to take your plate, name or anything else. He actually felt bad you were shaken.

Shame on you. I hope you see that moment for months to come in your sleep. I know he is.
