    Yeah I call bull on the excuse that the sun was in my eyes. I don't believe that one bit. people should really watch out where they're going. That being said the kid should have walked on the crosswalk but still that doesn't make it right

    Well either way it is sad!! But parents also need to teach their children to watch for cars and walk in the crosswalks!!!
