Child Seriously Hurt Afterschool Yesterday – 81st Street Between 14th and 15th Avenue
Yesterday after school, there was a terrible accident on 81st Street between 14th and 15th Avenues. A child was hit by a car. He was bleeding from his head.
An ambulance brought the boy to the hospital. The boy was conscious, so hopefully he will be alright. *Prayers* for his recovery.
Our community does not prioritize children any longer. I grew up around adults who understood that they had to keep children safe. Our government has other priorities over children.
People who live on 81st Street have requested a speed bump, but were denied by NYC. Lobbyists aren’t pushing for speed bumps, so its not a priority.
It’s over 24 hours since this child was hurt and Senator Andrew Gounardes has not even mentioned this accident. Gounardes is too busy posting videos of himself on social media. He says he is in contact with the police, but he isn’t. He’s just not connected to this community.
Lobbyists and lobbyist’s wants are the priority in this community. We need to change that!
Hugs,
