This happened down the street from this chick I was fukkin wit last year, the father was backing out the driveway and didn't know the kid had came out the side door and was behind the car. I can't imagine how something like that feels man, shyt would kill me. I ALWAYS check my surroundings when moving a vehicle in an area where kids might be and I always taught my daughter to NEVER stand in front or behind cars period.

This is more common than one might think, kids typically run out of the house following their parents. If there was nobody watching a 3 year old leaving a house, I hate to say it, but they shouldn't really be responsible for watching children. I'm guessing somebody inside the household slipped up and Heap paid the ultimate price :francis: And unlike you a$$holes no I don't think it's understandable if he offs himself, he has other childrent to live for. Just next time get a better wife or a better babysitter

Especially at 3 years, she probably wasn't even more than 2' tall, unless you KNOW she is back there no way to see her. Me personally, I always get sh*tted on for this, but whenever I am in a driveway or a public space, I back out inches at a time. Because there is always one old person or one dumb kid who will run up behind the vehicle, and you will be forever the azzhole. All that peeling out sh*t is for the movies, in a residential setting you have to drive as if you are expecting something to go wrong, that's the only way to stay accident free :francis:

I have little ones and they're known for following me around. First of all how did the little girl even get outside the house to stand on the driveway? What was the mom doing at the time?

You know how it is with kids though. All it takes is a half glance away and they can be into some shyt. One of my boys damn near had to call the police the other day because his daughter randomly decided to play hide and seek in the time he was shaking his father in law's hand. They were freaking out and eventually found her under the bed. She didn't come out because they were screaming. He could have simply told one of the older ones to watch her and they got distracted. It's a fukked up situation that can be 2nd guessed but not really at the same time

I used to do the same shyt bruh, I would ALWAYS back out or pull in slow as hell just in case. My Charger has the camera in front and back so I can see ground level and that makes it a lot easier now.

Kids that age are damn near magicians with how well they can move and be evasive, it takes a lot mentally and physically to be able to keep eyes on them at all times.

I feel for that cat, I wonder what kind of truck he had? The standard rides now at least come with a camera in the back (front optional), if I read correctly it said that he pulled forward and ran her over? I doubt he seen her at all then over the dash, a camera wouldn't have even helped, at best the sensor would have went off. That saved me once from hitting a kid on his bike when I was backing out the drive way. I checked my surroundings beforehand and backed out slow and everything. It doesn't matter when it involves split seconds.

Rip to the little girl. It can be hard to protect your kids at any age, so many factors.
