    So answers the age old question. If you make a funny face and someone/thing scares you, you're stuck like that.

    That looks like a really old photo of the girl.

    Damn hipster parents with their photography...

    After fully reading that article, am I the only one who is starting to think that the Ryan/Hayes family are not very sensible when it comes to keeping an eye on their young children?!!?

    This is an odd story. I'm delighted she's well. Can't help thinking there's more to this story......

    Sh*t. I thought that was a pic of her after the accident (I skimmed the article a little too lightly methinks).

    <feels bad>


    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Ooops!

    In a bizarre coincidence, one of Mary's brothers escaped serious injury last week when he was struck by a car in a hit-and-run.

    Mr Hayes described how Kieran (10) was hit by a car that "came out of nowhere" while he was crossing the road.


    Very lucky indeed

    As happy as I am that this little girl wasn't seriously injured

    Seriously, these parents should win an award for being the most careless, gormless idiots of the year.

    She wasn't actually hit by the train.

    Should be we worried about these ghost cars which 'come out of nowhere' when we're harmlessly pootling about on our roads?

    The car probably came out of a ghost estate. :p

    AH responce:
    She climbed a 7 foot fence? I can barely climb out of bed and there is a 9 year old girl that can scale 7 foot fences?
    Was she also bitten by a radioactive spidermonkey at some point in her life?

    Concerned Citizen responce:
    Parents? Yiz need to keep a better eye on you radio active spider monkey children.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    Jesus,the parents need to be seriously investigated for their ability to take care of their children. An autistic child has no sense of danger,and if you live near by a railway track you'd think they'd have some cop on to not leave her outside by herself!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    Kid has autism,according to her father she can be a handful, having worked with children with autism for years I know what that can be like and given that she has other kids she might just have had her hands full. Her son who narrowly missed getting hit by a car was fifteen? Is she supposed to lock him away from society unless she's there to supervise him at all times too? But I know all these responses are from decent honest hard working AH parents who would know and understand this too..and would never be in such a position.

    Must be a bunch of knacks.

    It states in the article that the son is 10


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    Good job they don't live near an airport.

    Trains planes and automobiles in one week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    It states in the article that the son is 10
    k she has another son of fifteen. She has five kids, can't imagine that's ever going to be easy. Mam and dad don't appear to share the same name, which might suggest that they may not live together. Still five kids and one with autism is a full plate.

    yeah it is, and it doesn't mean that you've any less duty to try keep your kids alive from day to day.

    I somehow doubt she's trying to get her kids killed. The article states that the girl has three siblings and the boy who got hit by a car is not listed as one although named as her brother elsewhere, he may be a half brother and not under this womans care at all but let's not let that get in the way of a good story.

    what's all that got to do with anything?

    Thread:This makes me happy nice story about girl who survives getting hit by train. Oh wait, it's AH let's bitch about the bad parent who let it happen in the first place, oh and look also lets other kid get hit by car. Ya just like to bitch don't ya.

    No thread in AH sticks entirely to the original story. And no, I don't just like to bitch :confused: Any autistic child will have no clue of dangers around them, and so they need to be supervised much of the time. I'm saying it sounds like there's reason to be concerned about these children. what's so hard to understand?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    sorry op, we need to dispel the illusion of happiness this story brings you, realistically she's most probably a knacker with sh*tty parents. Sorry bout that.

    All these posters pointed out their concern Babybuff, and yet you pick on me?

    I apologise if it appears that I'm picking on you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    Accepted.

    Are you genuinely saying with the two incidents in this family, there is no doubt in your mind the parents couldn't have done better?

    I don't really know, I don't have all the details. What I do know is that children with autism can be very difficult to care for, especially if you have other kids to look after too. (and it's not clear if the boy is actually under her guardianship) Maybe mum needs some help.
