This is the most respectful JJ episode I ever seen! You can tell all of these people are/have amazing parents. I also love how they talk about how friendly the entire neighborhood is, we need more neighborhoods like this! As for the little girl, I don’t blame the parents for not having an eye on her the entire time. Neighborhoods like this it’s common for a child her age to cross over to her friends home. I also don’t necessary blame the driver as she popped out in front of him. I think it was a very unfortunate accident, and instead of passing blame I think the lesson should be to spend some more time with the children of the neighborhood teaching the correct way to cross over the road.

Depending on her injuries she could have lifelong complications resulting in many more medical bills. The statute of limitation on suing for personal injury is usually two years. I would sue too.

You're right, sometimes shit doesn't just happen, but that doesn't mean the victim was delinquent.

We split up to go to our own cars, and my son started following Tom. Tom caught my eye and said he had him. In that brief moment my son darted between cars and out into the street. My friend Tom jumped out and saved him. Even under the most watchful eyes those little scamps can do an impulsive thing. Glad that darling little girl is okay.
