would it be any good if we did something for the family a la collection so we can send a floral tribute, had some bad news myself but nothing compares to this

Well you would need consent from the family anyway.

Sad news, condolances to the family.

Turned the corner to come onto my street after work and 2 young kids, prob about 6 - 8 years old flying down middle of the street on their bikes. No adults in sight

Equally, while heading past five road ends on Lupset, some teenage knob in his monstrosity of a vehicle shoots straight over the junction at about 50MPH.

No thought of stopping and no chance of stopping had anything been in front of him!

Tick Tock tick Tock
Only a matter of time before we get a repeat of this weekends tragedy!

If this d!ck is going to crash let's hope he doesn't take anyone else to the mortuary with him!

£5k reward if anyone catches the driver

may i say how sad i was to hear of this poor boy loseing his life in such a tragic way .my thoughts are with his family..xxx

The Sun offering 10k i believe.

i'd be sweating if i was this guy, cash is a great motivator.

It says on the Wakefield Express web site that he stopped 150 yards away, got out and checked for damage to the car!

yes correct he did

hip hip for the $%£$%^$ sun once again using the grief of a kid for publicity , should i say that? too 'ing late i have. i have no time for them scumbags

if it speeds up the capture of this scumbag who cares?

an anonymous reward would have the same effect so why get advertisement out of it? many times anonymous buissness put up rewards its all about selling more than the mirror i 'ing ate the morals of them all . i better be quite or else they will get big sister notw to bug me

Fully agree with this. Wonder if they'd actually pay out if anyone does come forward. I expect the usual 'posters with newspaper masthead prominant' to be soon if not available already. Cynical, but true.

My thought's also!

I do - it's sordid and wrong, for justice to be dependent on a cash offer from a tabloid newspaper.

If someone came forward to dob in the driver and claim that reward, I'd have a big tasty copper waiting to slap the bracelets on, prior to a long chat about why they didn't come forward straight away.

An awful situation just got significantly more awful.

have to agree. No time for this sort of exposure.

Me neither. Just shows how far this news has reached though. Not many places for the person responsible to hide.

Maybe it is, but if that is the only reason for coming forward, then god help us all. and I am an athiest.

Disgraceful, as reliably ever, journalism.

My thoughts are with the parents, family and friends coping with this.

Tragic.

He's out on bail now; www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/ ... _1_3508046

I know what you're saying, and you're right, but if it works and his family get justice, i dont care.
I'm sure the family aren't bothered about the break down in the moral fabric of society at the moment.

hope they catch this person asap.
