It was supposed to be a routine trip to daycare for Jariah’s Childs and her son Kamari.
“Just take him to school the day right before his birthday. He had just got his haircut,” Childs said.
But then the routine walk went wrong while crossing Lee Street.

“This lady came out of nowhere and hit my son. Like she smacked him with her car,” Childs said “I was terrified, I thought I lost my son.”
Childs says an older woman in a red SUV hit her son in the crosswalk.
As Childs got her son out of the road, she says the woman yelled that she did not see her son and then drove off.
“She didn’t have any sympathy. She could have gotten out to make sure he was okay,” Adina Lewis, a witness, said.
