This morning I got up to hear my 7 year old cousin that lives in Texas got hit by a school bus and was internally bleeding. Me and my mom took my sister to school and when we got back my uncle called and said Christopher had passed away at 8:30. I have never lost a family memeber before. He was only 7. We are heading to Texas Monday for the funeral...my first funeral. This royally sucks. I loved him so much.

Hit by a school bus? Probably accidental, but whose fault, or do you not know? Still, that is horrible, dying before your life really got to get going. My condolences as well.

The bus driver was going 40 or so down the street and Chris thought it was his bus so he ran out to catch it and the bus hit him. Some kid had to jump off the bus to get the bus driver to stop after he hit him. Can you imagine being in your house watching your child try to catch his school bus and being hit? Then running out there and watching him bleed from the mouth. I would have died.

Hellllooooo lawsuit and suspension for the driver of that bus. Even if he did run out in front of the bus a ways to catch it, the driver should have slowed down at the very least to find out who this kid was, not run him over like it was GTA3 This dude should get charged with vehicular manslaughter, no joke. That makes it even worse, because this may make it not accidental, but purposeful death.

screw that, azrael, this was manslaughter at the very least.

i was responding to the "suspension" thing as if it were a mistake and the kid was scratched. sorry.

I just got a phone call and they moved him to Dallas to do the autopsy. My aunt is suing the school system and they are moving. Hopfully to Oklahoma with us. Still everytime someone calls and says something about a autopsy I can't quit crying. I can not imagine him getting cut up. I hope that bus driver feels awful for what he did.

Myrtle (sp?) Springs or Ben Wheeler. I can't remember which one of my family members live in which. And yes the guy wouldn't stop so the kid jumped off.

So far it looks like I'm going to be in Dallas all Monday. Fun.

I'm really sorry to hear that. My grandma died when I was nine, but that can't even compare to this. It was sad, but she had lived her life and she was ready to go.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Amber. It's always tragic when someone that young dies, and so senselessly, too.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that driver tries to explain how he didn't notice he just hit a kid, though, if he indeed didn't notice.

My condolences to you and your family. I know it can be rough. I lost my nan about 10 years ago to a heart attack and my aunt just last year to Cancer.

IMO, the best thing you can do is try to remember the good things about your cousin, and most importantly support your family especially your cousin's parents, brothers and sister (and take all the support you need as well).

And remember for the infinitely small smidgen of value it is worth, take a bit of solace in the fact that while your family is dealing with the sudden and tragic loss, the Driver (and his family) will be dealing with the guilt for the rest of his life... hopefully a good chunk of which is spent behind bars to ponder what he did.
