I've been having trouble sleeping the last few nights and I know why. On the weekend a young boy was deliberately dragged under a car for 45 seconds. I can't seem to get the image of that horrific act out of my mind.
The boy is in critical condition in the hospital with unbelievable wounds. My mind can't escape the fact the driver of that car knew what he was doing. How can someone be so callous? How can a human being do something like that and continue to live with himself?
The two men in the car were in their early 20's. Surely one of those men will have a vestige of conscience and voluntarily face the consequences of their actions. It was understandably an "accident" to begin with but to knowingly drag that child underneath your car for 45 seconds while you race away from the scene is too brutal to understand.
It chills me to think that one moment the boy was a healthy young man and the next he was involved in an incident that will leave him horribly scarred and damaged for the rest of his life...if he lives.
What were those two men thinking as they dragged a screaming child all that distance? And how can they live with what they've done?
