To say that the boy should bear some of his own death because he was in the street and knew better is just ridiculous. I'm sure if that had been your child you wouldn't feel that way AT ALL. So what if he was in the street. It's not like he was gnome size or tooth fairy size. Perhaps if the guy hadn't been drunk he would've been able to see him. I don't care if this boy was in the street, in his driveway, on top of the roof, or driving another vehicle, the facts are that this GROWN man made a conscious decision to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking, and in doing so he took the life of another human being. The fact that he then drove several miles and ordered cheeseburgers and "what not" before calling 911 is beyond belief. He said he thought he may have hit something, but why not stop and check that out before continuing to drive drunk and ordering food. My thoughts are with the victims family. I feel bad for the drivers family knowing they must be humiliated and embarrassed

EVERYONE WHO POSTS ON THIS STORY NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT WHO COULD READ THIS. THERE HAS BEEN A GRIEVING FAMILY OUT THERE AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO POST COMMENTS DEFENDING A MAN WHO HAS BROKEN THE LAW (ALMOST 3 TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT) AND KILLED THIS BOY.HE WAS OFF THE ROAD... NOT IN THE ROAD SO WHO CARES WHAT HE WAS DOING! AND IF YOU FOR ONE SECOND DONT THINK THAT THIS FAMILY IS LIVING WHAT IF, YOU ARE CRAZY! I AM SURE THE BROTHER IS BLAMEING HIMSELF, IM SURE THE MOTHER IS SAYING THERE IS SOMETHING SHE COULD HAVE DONE. BUT WHEN IT BOILS DOWN TO IT, THE ONE THING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED IS THIS MAN NOT GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL WITH THREE TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT OF ALCOHOL IN HIS BODY!BY THE WAY THIS MAN DIDNT STOP AND SAY I HAVE HIT A LITTLE BOY... HE STOPPED MILES DOWN THE ROAD SAYING HE THINK HE RAN OVER SOMETHING. IM NOT PSYCHIC BUT I CAN IMAGINE HIM NOT EVEN STOPPING IF HE HADNT BLEW A TIRE! JUST BE SYMPATHETIC TO THIS FAMILY, THEY SAY THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS BURY YOUR OWN KID

Show no mercy! Make no mistake - THIS MAN IS A MURDERER and should spend a longgg time in prison.

Praying for his victim's loved ones.

God bless.

The driver was VERY drunk and shouldn't have been driving. He should be severely penalized for his actions. But the witness was his 14 yo brother. Some things don't add up.

You can't skateboard 10-15 feet off a SECONDARY road. You couldn't ride 2 feet off one. Look at the satellite view of the road and you will see it's impossible.

I used to work with the DOT paving these roads. Driving 10-15 ft off the road would result in being in a ditch. And the kids were NOT skateboarding in their driveway.

I think the people that hit and run should be charged with 1st degree murder. Those that stop should not. There has to be some way to keep these people from running because they have nothing else to lose.
