Schoolgirl terrified after being hit by car for second time

“by Melons123..........you said.... 'The point of this article was...... to raise awareness about drivers going to (sic) fast around school hours and children to be careful!!!!'
Nowhere in the article does it say that drivers are driving too fast in school hours, but it DOES say 'Headteacher of Severn Vale School Peter Rowland, said........it highlights the need for young people to take great care on our roads at all times. "
It also says the driver is not under investigation, yet certain people on here have already tried and convicted him/her.
Children run out into roads, end of. Even if the speed limit is 20mph and totally dry conditions, it takes forty feet to stop.
I wish people would stop scapegoating others for their own behaviour.”

“Tia! Whatever happened to her?”

“As is often the case, the article becomes secondary, and two or more commentators start a war of words.
It's very easy on here, yet it rarely happens in a discussion face to face. That's because we can see each other's reactions to what we say and do, and adjust the next comment accordingly.
One person makes a comment, someone takes offence, and the other replies, sometimes with information that previously had not been in the public domain. The first person then gets more grief, and so it deepens.
On here for instance, jayne80's first comment was extremely mild, and supportive, saying 'this was a horrible accident'. As well, assuming she has more knowledge of the people and incident than she at first alluded to.
There have been many more extreme comments than jayne80's, indeed Jewbacca's reprinting from social media site that appears to confirm jayne80's knowledge.
But for some reason, and we have all heard of similar situations ending in tragedy, one person gets picked on remorselessly.
Indeed you can see trends develop through the feedback. Jayne80's were all green, with very many reds from other vitriolic commentators.
As has been quite rightly pointed out, and very unfairly via social media, the mother and child think they should have some say in the driver's outcome. This is nonsense, and actually worse than a kangaroo court. It's trial by social media. It shows a weakness of those concerned where they have to court friends, relatives etc, rather than the due process of law.
I've said many times, I would never read any comments on here if I had been involved in something like this, let alone make any contribution.
Someone said why TiG have still got this up, well we can all access it many months on, remember TIA? It then comes on the recent comments and so it goes on and on.”

“no takeaway22 i dont nor do i claim tax credits thank you”

“I think some people are missing the complete point of "adding your comments to an article" If only you who are more interested in behaving like children took an interest in just this poor girls suffering, the world would be a better place. I have had school children run out in front of me before, I have been fortunate enough to be able to stop. If we had both sides to the story then we could all comment to our hearts content, but all we know is what is printed, so please, give it a rest.”

“jayne80 - Two things:

1. Where and when did you wish Gabrielle a speedy recovery? I can't see it. Please help.

2. You stated "i dont claim benefits and never have". You still didn't answer the question. Do you claim child benefit? Is child benefit a state benefit? Are you telling us the truth?”

“i didnt have it in for the girl i just believe the mother needs to take responsibility. as for posting this morning im not working today as my daughter has hospital yet again none of your bussiness. you people are disgusting and im sure when karma comes your way you wouldnt want it published??? as for last comment i didnt put it my friend did so i will apologise for that one. i have wished gabrielle a speedy recovery so try reading the comments #takeaway22. Now please leave me out of your disgusting comments thank you and move on.”

“Jayne 80,,,
```I dont travel with my children due to my little girls illnesses but thats none of your bussiness. As for my grammar and what? Im sure not everyone can spell or be as perfect as you lol```
Where did I mention that???? save it for someone else.
You cannot work that hard, if you do at all, as you have been posting all morning on TiG on nearly every topic posted.
I stand by what I posted earlier, for some reason, you have had it in for this young girl.”

“Thank you jayne80. I think you have made it perfectly clear the type of person you are. You mentioned "firstly i dont claim benefits and never have " and "i dont need to spout venom just truth". I understand you have two children. Do you not claim child BENEFIT for them? Is child benefit a state benefit? What is the truth? Do you claim benefit or not?

As for you denying you "spout venom"; I think most people here will disagree with you purely on your input in this forum. Sorry to state the obvious.

You have also claimed: "Let me point out i have and always have wished gabrielle well in a speedy recovery". Can you point out where exactly, even just the once, you have wished Gabrielle well? I just wanted you to justify that you are telling the truth as you so vehmently testify.”

“#benefitsrus1 firstly i dont claim benefits and never have secondly i work hard at my kids knowing what is right and wrong and fo you know the family? As for the venom i spout i dont need to spout venom just truth. I dont claim benefits for such a injury that stops me walking then stand out in a garden dancing round or sit on railings bent over. Let me point out i have and always have wished gabrielle well in a speedy recovery so before you change it from the facts get yours straight. I dont travel with my children due to my little girls illnesses but thats none of your bussiness. As for my grammar and what? Im sure not everyone can spell or be as perfect as you lol. Grow up and unless you have anything worthwhile drop the ******* issues!!”
