This is a tragic accident that didn't need to happen and the coward who left the scene, when caught, needs to be punished to the full extent of the law. On the other hand, children should be taught to not run out into the street, to look both ways before they cross. Simple things that could prevent accidents like this. Sadly, now she will know to do that.
