Why does he not have NHI?
Why are his friends still riding around like idiots not waring helmets, going through red lights, wheelies through the traffic.
Hope the family all comes through this. But the burden on them and the costs to the Health services on the island of these wreckless fools clearly has to stop.
Time for a ban before we need more Go Fund Me's and people wanting us to feel sorry for these people creating a menace to our communities everyday.
We need to stop youngsters thinking that essential equipment for riding a scooter are just a pair of flip flops and a mobile phone.
Why should Willock pay for this boy ignorance. I will bet my last dollar that if Willock told him to wear a helmet and ridw responsibly, his response would be mind your own &^...ing business and leave him alone
Why are the parents of this minor incognito with the cooperation of public news reports and announcements??
Seems to me there is illegality and questionable parental responsibilities regarding this child,which points to the parents/ guardians as unfit in their roles.
This boy needs protection from them is my opinion,assuming that he does have family. To date no identified person or persons has come forward publicly to claim legal responsibility for thus incapacitated minor child.
THEY DONT CARE,IF THEY DO,DO SOMETHING TO FIX THAT PROBLEM
CONTROL THE TRAFIC
