Parents, teach your children to cross at corners only, this kid ran out in middle of the street, between a parked bus and a car, there’s no way the driver could have seen him. Kids need to be careful!!!
He should have a refua shleima shabbos hi melizok
He is now in middle of brain surgery everyone just say at least one kapital Tehilem for Boruch Mordechai ben Chasia Rivka
His mother is a teacher in BYDM High School. She is a lovely woman. Please lets pray that he gets well and the family shouldn’t have any tzaar.
he just went into cardiac arrest
I was driving my car on a street in boro park i had twice in 3 minutes kides crossed the sreet in middle of the block, they came out from between 2 cars and i nearly hit them. The only reason i stopped was because i was driving 5 mines per hour. Guys, realy be carefull.
I think they should make speed bumps on the road, I am not saying that the driver was speeding, its defiantly more safe
He should have a compalete refua shelima bkorv

With summer starting and all the children riding on bikes PLEASE tell your kids not to cross the street while riding on the bike its so not safe, should hasham keep all his children safe
Maybe we should ban cars on most side streets in bk? The streets are narrow anyways and there would be less accidents and maybe we won’t feel the pressure of going up to the mountains cuz our kids can play with bikes and chalk right here!!!! And less chances if crashing on way up and in the mountains. Especially with all these bochurim driving like it’s a game hashem yerachem!!!!!!!
This is the second such accident this month I heard of. Both children’s names are Boruch Mordechai. That is scary. The other one is Ben Tessel. Please daven for both.
Interestingly this boys name is the same as the previous boy who was rl hit. They both need rachmei shamayim. If u say kuf yud tes plz have both in mind: boruch mordechai ben tessel and boruch morsechai ben chasia rivkah. May they have a refah shleima
May Hashem bless this child and his family.
But just to repeat what some other posters were saying;
Whether you will drive 15 mph, or 5 mph, there are always drivers in BP that are in a hurry, and children have to know that by dashing out from between two parked cars is putting their lives into their own hands.
A car driving in front of me made a shortstop that almost caused a three-car collision, because a kid ran out without looking. When he rolled down his window to tell him off, the kid laughed in his face!
Please tell your children that by running out in middle of the street, it is Damav B’rosho.
May Hashem guard us and our children for a safe, healthy and happy summer.
EMINAH EMINAH EMINAH… This happens because hashem want it should happen… Its could be another call to us.. But we need to be mispalel for a full recovery IY”H, also every one should do 1 more mizvah LIRFIOSOI and it will sorely help.. And the most think we need to be mispalel is.. For hashems kuvod should already me in the richtiga place..
There is never anything wrong with urging people to be more safe. Ultimately, Hashem is the Shomer Yisroel. But the irresponsible comments from those who don’t know that look to blame are intolerable. We have not yet been zocheh to a life full of 100% peace. We will experience tragedies, Hashem yeracheim. We need to do our best to prevent them. And if and when they do happen, we need to react by contributing our tefillos and our chesed to those in need. Haven’t we learned this already?
folks–it’s time to stop talking in shul –we are endangering our children by doing this–which is brought down in a few places–ask your Rav –this also means closing your cell phones during davening. I am appalled as too often I see men with their talleisim and tefillin on standing outside their shul or shteibel and talking on the phone. Not only is this chutzpadick to the Ribbono Shel Olam ( this is your time for Him) it endangers the lives of our children. WAKE UP people !!!!!
I live in the neighborhood and I am constantly seeing kids running into the street especially now that the schoolyard is open after hours. Also, I noticed that there is no adult supervision. Where are the parents????
now that the weather is nice kids are playing ball and every few minutes you have balls flying on the street the kids dont look if there is a car coming they just run out on the gutter last week i was outside for abt 10 minutes and it happened 4 times in different places and the cars made a short stop b”h nothing happened one driver came out of the car and stopped the traffic which was almost till the corner at least 10 cars and insisted to speak to the childs mother this kid was just laughing in her face and ran off
i think they should ban from playing ball in the front altogether
only in the back yards or in the park
the mothers dont even know about it and i wonder if they care otherwise they would be outside watching their kids
Happened to me too. Kid runs out from between 2 parked cars. Adults are not teaching their children proper fear for cars. Schools should get into the act too. A 2500 pound or more car needs only touch a body to send it flying.
it’s amazing how posters come up with brainstorms such as “ban playing ball on the streets,” “ban cars from driving on streets in BP,” not permiting to drive more than 5 MPH, put road bumps on the streets etc. This all nonsense and life can’t go on like this. when someone needs hatzolah, fire dept. or shomrim no one wants them to drive on 5 mph or have to stop for road bumps.
people just need to be responsible and have their children play only in parks which are safe under parentil supervision.
Just 3 months ago a child on 49th st was nebach killed by a school bus. oy gevald!!!
Please Hashem, have pity on these children and all the Jewish people. May our prayers reach you and may you listen and send help . I pray for these childrenand all Israel!
Please be kind and forgiving Hashem . Forgive our sins against you.
Thank you Almighty for all our blessings and gifts and send speedy recovery to these innocent children and to all Jews in our world.
Thank You Thank You Hashem!
Any word on the boy??
The police need to do traffic crackdowns in BP checking people’s licenses and insurance.
Any word on the child? Please provide an update!!!!!
I recently almost knocked down two boys on roller blades who also darted out of nowhere on wheels. They totally ignored me when I rolled down my window to give it to them…they looked to be 10-12 year old boys. Teaching our children to cross the street safely should start when they learn how to walk….
now in brain surgery. please say tehillim.
bd”e
BDE may hashem give strength to his parents to go thru with this mourning period. Amen
bde 🙁 does anyone know when the livayah is.
Brooklyn Mom before you throw stones – go fix yourself first. I dont know who you are however your attitude is rediculous. As a woman how many times a year do you go to Shul? These men standing outside Shuls in there Taleisim ought to be considered as Tzadikim – with all the pressure they are under they still make time to Daven.
What right do you have to judge other men! Do you know what pressure they are under? You cant judge what causes a kitrug in heaven. Maybe its people like you who are hasty to judge others that cause kitrugim.
Sorry – your post is unacceptable.
Reply to #55 . “With all the pressure they still make time to davven” Where were u brought up? Are you perhaps Jewish? Maybe god is giving them this pressure because they are finding time to davven? Davvening is first on the list then we have to fit everything around it, not the other way round!
bde so very sad! anyone know his last name?
what time is the lavaya
Its about time we get a real trauma center in the boro park area or make preassure on lutheran to upgrade their trauma center we can’t afford not to have a good trauma center lutheran is a disaster & its a ems protocol to take all trauma patients there in the area we have to wake up the askunim to get a real trauma center here or make 1 in maimonides
Last name is Berliner. Mother is a global history teachers in BYDM High School.
BD’H .
BD”H nebach such a rachmanos!! May hashem give all the family and friends strength to pull thru this. Hamokm yenachem ……….
BDE, this happens all too often in Boro Park. The community needs to be much more proactive to start teaching from an early age about safety on crossing streets, playing outside, riding bicycles.
I know the driver from the car he is a very nice & honest person he never speeds he is a very calm driver
The other week my husband and I were driving in BP. Within five minutes we had two kids dash out from between parked cars to retrieve a ball. Boruch Hashem my husband was driving as he has unbelievable reflexes. There is no way I would have been able to avoid those kids. They came out of nowhere and were less then a cars length away. I was SHAKING. Both times my husband opened the windows and yelled. ONE kid just stared like my husband was nuts and the other listened to the mussar speech and said thank you. I told those kids that my husband was yelling because they could have been hurt and not because he was angry at them.
A lot of younger drivers speed without any regard for the lights and could stop even when a child darting out in most cases. See how many kids see the adults walk in the gutter due to heilikeit.
Friday and Erev yomtov just watch how many run the light. Boro park does need speed traps more than most boughs since Manahattan is innundated with cars.
Even 14th ave in the morninh in heavy traffic between 50th and 43rd st is full f traffic due to all the double parked cars trucks and buses double parked. Every single morning and no on can deny this mors than any BP area. The speediing , erev shaboos the disrespect all are unjustifiable like cutting off others who drive in the speed limit. Do you know how many time I have children under three alone on thirteenth ave because the mother is in the robe store or shoe store with another child. All the time.
May hashem give those children who need a refuah a yeshuah and may hashem give solace to the parents of this chidl.
Gevald! Whatever happened to shmiras shabbos? To the authors of comments 56 and 57, by looking at the time your comments were posted, unless you are in a different time zone, you were busy getting news updates on shabbos! (# 56, if u say you were there when it happened, I really doubt if its possible for u to be in a different time zone at this time.) May the family know only from simchas!
