Help answer this question below.
by - Pompey Dave - wearing a COAT of blue - on February 20th, 2009
This is an update on my son....
He was hit while riding his bike on his way to his driving theory test. I'm not sure of all the ins and outs relating to the accident, suffice to say that the w@nk@r drove off without even checking to see if he was ok.
My son 'escaped' with a broken wrist, ruptured spleen and cuts and grazes. He is still in hospital at the moment but I will keep you all updated.
Thanks for all your concern and well wishes.
Dave (Pompey)
ps...without asking for points because my son is far more important to me than points, please try to help to keep this answer top so that the updates are easy to find. Many thanks

I think Anger would be my first emotion, but the love for my child would govern it...first my child then the asshole!
by Spicy Hot on February 19th, 2009
I would be furious.
I hope your child is okay.

God Bless your son Dave...

Which driver? you son, your daughter or the other driver?
You did not specify.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on February 21st, 2009
My answer will undoubtedly reflect just how far I have come on my spiritual journey in this arena. I would hate them with every fiber of my being. I would have to choke back the desire to beat the living shit out of them and I would probably lose that battle. The mere thought of it is enough to leave me shaking with anger.
I wish better for you than that, My friend. Do you have insurance, by chance?
by Ripple is back on February 20th, 2009
I am glad your son is alive.I would be mad who would not.Pompey I lost me niece on News Year Day in a car accident .The driver of the car was drunk.He lived.Our family is torn over this and this is a small village.We all know his family well.I am sorry this awful accident happened to your son.I hope he makes a full recovery.You are in my thoughts.......Ripple
by -NUNYA-- on February 20th, 2009
REVENGE would be mine. Maybe not physical but he would pay! Won't take back the pain and suffering that your son went through but it should would help me out!!! +5
by Arisztid on February 20th, 2009
Wow, Pompey. I would want to hunt the b*stard down and kill him... literally.
My first thing would, of course, be to make be with my son. Then, I fear, I would do what I could to make what I said above a reality if I could do it without going to jail myself. I know that I would not be able to find him but, if there was any chance, I would.
How is your son doing right now? How are you doing?

by Ricardo Demarko on February 19th, 2009
The first thing that comes to mind is anger.
by Rocket on February 19th, 2009
That is just terrible - I am sorry to hear this - I hope you son is ok - it makes me angry - it also makes you wonder why they didn't stop... no insurance - no license etc... rrrggg

by Rollie on February 20th, 2009
I would want to take him/her out and kick him/her around a bit at the least.
My prayers are with you and your son.
by ChuckExAnon on February 20th, 2009
When I was younger, my reaction would have been pure anger, with a desire for revenge.
I admit, since I have aged, I have "mellowed", believing that that driver was seen by the One to whom I will be speaking on your son's behalf and yours, as well as your family's, as I lay my head on the pillow this very night.
You may never know the justice, Dave...but I believe it will be meted out, one way or the other. That's just my belief. It sustains me from suffering the all to frequent pains of injustice. It may not serve your needs sufficiently, and such is understandable. I do not seek to impose my personal beliefs on anyone else...just how I handle things.
by redcatt63 is around here somewhere...... on February 20th, 2009
Well, I will refrain from using profanity to tell you what I think of the driver. I hope they find him and jail him soon. Obviously, someone with no conscience of any kind.
Please keep us updated on how your son is doing. He will be in our thoughts.
by Anonymous on February 19th, 2009
First off sorry to hear about your son, was this a recent event and how's he doing now?
Second, has the driver's conscience caught up on him yet or is it still an unsolved case?
I ask because a lot of times the flight or fight instinct kicks in - in these situations and people do flee. A lot of them do hand themselves in within a short time and admit to what happened and why they ran.
If it's been more than a week and this person is still happy to carry on and not face up to what s/he did then they are heartless ba****ds and I hope they're caught and punished severely not so much for the hitting part but for the hiding, anyone can have an accident make a mistake, but for running and hiding but those who won't admit to it in these cases are (borderline) psychopaths. They need jail time and rehab but punishment first and severe at that.
Oh and if was one of my sons I'd have a lot of hatred for that driver and I would like to inflict some injuries on them.
by kitiara on February 19th, 2009
..i cant answer that without swearing..:O/
..i hope he's ok..:O)

by NaVy WiFe on February 22nd, 2009
I'm so sorry to hear about your son! I read the updates though and am glad to hear he is doing well. I wish him and speedy recovery.
In reference to your question: I would be absolutely furious at the driver. I would probably call the police everyday until they found the person who did it.
by gailmarie on February 21st, 2009
I have been ther my daughter was 12 at the time and we had just got back from vacation the day before, she was on her way to Mc Donalds, she was crossing at the corner and an old man with through a red light. She flew about 15 feet and cradled her head in her arms.....at the time all I could think about was her (Thank god that all was ok...lots of bruises, scrapes and sore..but nothing more)...as time passes and still to this day...regardless of his age I would love to get my hands on him.
My prayers and hopes are with you, your family and your son.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on February 21st, 2009
I'm sorry to hear about your son and I'm hoping he recovers fully from his injuries.
I would be very upset and I would ask my lawyer to have this criminal prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I would hope his driver's license would be revoked.
by daisychain on February 21st, 2009
I don't know how I would feel because I think only a parent could know. It is a horrible thing to happen Anger would be there. But I hope that I could concentrate my focus would be on caring for my son/daughter and hoping witnesses come forward and that the police can convict.
I hope you and your family are okay Dave and that your son has a good recovery. My thoughts are with you.
by j ninja... on February 20th, 2009
Oh my I hope the SB keeps driving on and on and on. Because if it caught up with him.....grrrrrr
by Vannie prays for babycakes . on February 20th, 2009
Sad to hear what your son is going through , Dave .
I would be in the same position what you are in now , Dave , feeling sad , upset and definitely angry .
Hope everything works out well for you and your son .

by JuJubee is wearing a COAT of chocolate on February 20th, 2009
Dave I am so sorry!! : * (
I would be LIVID!! I hope your son heals well, and I will be praying for a fast recovery!
by BeccaBaby on February 20th, 2009
Pompey Dave, my prayers are with you and your family and especially your son at this time. My sincerest thoughts and well wishes...
by Takei-Shihan on February 20th, 2009
... a hit is a common enough accident and is easy enough for me to just shrug off and forgive, depending on exact circumstances and IF it actually was an accident ... but RUN after hitting and attempting to get away with it, is inexcusable conduct and should be thoroughly investigated and eventually punished with an absolute maximum sentence, with not even a hint of leniency ...
by English Gal is back. on February 20th, 2009
I really hope your son is ok dave and i also hope the b******who did it gets caught ,the same thing once happened to a cousin of mine ,let us know how he is ,hes in my thoughts ((hugs))
by KayJ on February 20th, 2009
SO sorry to hear about your son!! I hope and pray for a full recovery. Please keep us updated on his condition.

I don't use that kind of language!
by Mr.LiAr . . . . . AwAy on February 20th, 2009
how is ur child?
see if drives was under influnce of alcohol at that time .. i would deffinitely going to kill that asshole..
i dont hv any child
so i cant express my true feeling
but i would just say that if it is actually a accident..then i will keep myself calm.
by Bull wears a COAT of many colours on February 20th, 2009
You don't even want to know what I would be thinking at first but after everything calmed down and my son recovered I would just care about my child and forgive the person who did it because holding onto hate only harms yourself. As I have written many times, forgiveness is not for the other person, it is for yourself. Karma will take care of the other person.
by CRXVTUK on February 24th, 2009
Andybody who wouldn't be furious has somthing wrong with them
Good to hear your son is ok now Dave. I hope you find the guy who did this and take him to the cleaners. I can't believe the coward didn't even stop.
I was going mad when somebody hit my car and drove away without leaving a note or anything and my car was parked and empty at the time.
by Miss Anubis loves this season on February 25th, 2009
I would be furious and homicidal - that's just human nature to desire to protect and fend for your children. I'm so glad to hear yours is doing better. You'll be in my wishes & prayers.
by jeajov on April 24th, 2009
Hope your son gets better. At first frustation and disbelief would kick in. ( How can anybody hit someone and just leave?) No body who is driving expects to hit someone. The driver probably panic and at that moment is not thinking clearly. He or she is probably hurting inside wondering if the person he/she hit is okay. I say forgive the driver he/she is probably hurting inside.

I will keep your son on my mind and in my heart.
by shrinkess on February 20th, 2009

You as well your family are deep in my heart, I pray for him Dave as I pray for you, keep your strength and your faith xxx
by moonchild wears a COAT of shadows on February 20th, 2009
i think you should be angry but understand the driver could be scared out of his mind, the driver might have thought the worse and ran off...but he sitll should report himself
so have they found the other driver yet?
by Daze on February 20th, 2009
NO!!
by -_You Can Leave Your Hat On....- on February 20th, 2009
no what?
by Daze on February 20th, 2009
they havnt found the other driver yet - to be honest thats not daves first priority - he will let us know when he feels up to it, his son is currently very very poorly in hospital.
by -_You Can Leave Your Hat On....- on February 20th, 2009
I'm assuming they removed the spleen? How much blood loss?
by bagicide stayed 10 months too long on February 20th, 2009
That doesn't matter pray the boy's ok...
by CT on February 20th, 2009
If only we could find a way to put a stop to these motor vehicle accidents.
I have had a good number of friends who had their loved dear ones involved in these accidents.
Your son will be okay, Pompey Dave. His age is on his side. He will come through this alright.
And don't go after the driver who hit the boy. Leave that to the cops. He must be hiding somewhere scared to death that he will be found. We hope he too is praying for the boy's recovery same as we are doing.
Do post updates about the boy's progress on the road of recovery...
by Suby the Coat on February 20th, 2009
My prayers and thoughts are with you, Dave! Hope your boy recuperates quickly!
