just had to see this one - you feel like that hit-and-run driver is still out there? it's so not right. what if that was your kid or sibling? can't believe they're still on the loose 
. authorities gotta do better than just asking for info, like, arrest the dude already! 
and to make matters worse, 11 yrs old? that's just devastating 
. my thoughts r w/ her fam & community, and I'm sure everyone else in Brooklyn is feeling the same emotions 
.
. The city is already feeling the pain of COVID, and now this? 
. We need more support for these families, mental health resources, and better road safety measures in Brooklyn ASAP 
.
It's time for us to come together, raise awareness, and demand change! We deserve better for our kids & communities 
.
, can't believe what happened in Brooklyn yesterday! that bus driver is literally a monster 
for not stopping at all, just kept driving away like nothing happened 
. poor little girl didn't stand a chance 
, they'll get to the bottom of this and find that driver ASAP 
. what's even more heartbreaking is that her family doesn't know who she was yet 
. sending all my love and prayers to them right now 
this is just heartbreaking... can't believe a kid as young as 11 got taken away like that... 
i hope whoever did this gets caught eventually, but what really hurts is all these innocent bystanders who saw it happen and might be too scared or traumatized to even come forward with info... 
the police need to get better support for the community and especially for those kids who are left behind 
. It's crazy how fast she was gone 
. The police need to catch the guy who did this ASAP 
. This is just too much for Brooklyn to handle right now 
, just thinking about that poor kid is giving me chills... Did you see the dashcam footage of that bus? Apparently, it showed the driver speeding away from the scene. 23rd Avenue and Bath Avenue, what a nightmare intersection! 
. i mean, come on, prioritize people over property, you know? anyway, my heart goes out to the girl's family and everyone affected by this senseless tragedy 
Can't wait to see the driver's face when they get caught... or not, since they still haven't found them yet 
... i hope they catch the person responsible soon...
It's like, so random and senseless. I'm really hoping they catch that driver ASAP, but like, what if they don't? 
This is definitely a wake-up call for everyone to be more aware of their surroundings while walking or driving. Safety first, you know? 
my heart goes out to her family and friends. We need to make sure this guy gets caught ASAP so justice is served 
️ No words can describe the pain and shock this must be causing her family and friends. The fact that the driver just left the scene is just devastating 
it's like the system is just designed to fail these poor kids. and don't even get me started on the social media outrage - yeah, tweet about it until someone cares, but what are we actually doing to prevent this from happening in the first place?
