Jersey Shore Hatzolah responded to the scene at Highland Avenue, and transported the 20-month-old boy in traumatic arrest to Monmouth Medical Center, where doctors pronounced him dead.
According to Monmouth County Prosecutor’s office, the child, Abraham Mizrachi, was alone when he wandered off to his neighbors driveway. The neighbor was backing in her Lexus Rx SUV and didn’t notice the child only after the tragic accident.
No summons has been issued and no further inquiry will be done by the prosecutor’s office.
Due to the family’s request no autopsy was performed. The Medical Examiner office has released the body.
BD”E. Yet another tragic accident. My heart goes out to BOTH families! Every week we hear of another tragedy, most involving children so far. PLEASE PARENTS: WATCH YOUR CHILDREN!!! They are like lightening, the run & escape so fast. Keep pools locked & alarmed, put high locks on doors to cellars/basements, garages, sheds & front & back doors. Lock away cleaning materials & medicines.
I think Hatzalah in every community needs to hold safety forums for people in the city. We can all use a basic refresher course on common sense. Bungalow colonies all have Hatzalah members. Let them do the same upstate.
Nobody is negligent, but it’s easy to miss the obvious.
may we only hear good news

This age is an age of discovery. Given the walking power the child will bolt away within a blink of an eye.
Baruch Dayan Ha’Emes. It was meant to happen, my heart goes out to the driver and family.
Oy nebech!!!

Oh, I hope the family is comforted by Hashem Himself.
Nebech!

I have to change my behavior.
This area is known as “Deal N.J.”, crowded in the summer and quiet in the winter.

Unfortunately accidents happen making it a tragedy for all involved and all of klal Yisroel as we are Areyvim ze loze!. wHAT WE HAVE TO DO THOUGH IS WORK WITH OUR CHILDREN TEENAGE DRIVERS TO SERIOUSLY OBEY DRIVING RULES AND WE MUST SET AN EXAMPLE. wE MUST ALWAYS DO OUR UTMOST TO BE VIGILANT IN DRIVEWAYS, CHECK OUR BACKSEATS AND BUSES AND MOST OF ALL, KEEP DISTANCES AND SPEEDS TO THE EXACT REUIREMENT OF THE LAW. No shtik , no showoffs or road rage. Better to be mad and let the other guy get on, than fight for a point and someone ends up dead. Most chuleria murders are because someone wants to get respect or get even! The same as on the road or to show off! lET US DAVEN FOR THIS AND ALL THE NESHOMALACH AND PEOPLE LOST FOR NOTHING THIS SUMMER. mAY HASHEM PROTECT ALL OF kLAL YISROEL FROM THE Chayas driving in the mountains speeding, and not stopping at lights or stop signs as I witnessed yesterday on Camp visiting day.
This is r”l the third monday in a row that a young neshoma is taken
Nebech to the family and driver. Hamokom ynachem eschem.

may we only hear good thngs from now on. may the family only share in simchas . ( side comment question . how does one contuine to b neibghors after such a trebbile accident ?)
It makes sense to remember this tragedy as a self-lesson to drive more carefully. Even though this driver was doing no wrong — who hasn’t seen someone rushing down the street because they’re late for davening or school pick-up.
So many sad stories. Perhaps car manufacturers should be required by law to have a closed circuit tv system built in, so the driver can see what is directly behind the car at a low height.
This is the sort of thing I live in fear of. I drive transportation for a playgroup in Monsey and I constantly see toddlers running, riding bikes, etc. in driveways and sidewalks without much supervision. Sometimes I have to get out of my van and double-check that the coast is clear before I back out of a driveway!
No judgment on either the poor bereaved parents or the driver who will have to relive this nightmare for the rest of her life – I’ve had quite enough near-misses myself. It’s a tragedy all around. Let’s learn from it and daven for a safer summer.
Perhaps this should be a reminder to all of us to thank H for all the miracles he does 24/7. (And I am not talking about the millions of miracles that it takes to keep human body going 24/7)
The fact that these types of accidents don’t happen every day is a tremendous chesed/ miracle. Even if you only have 1 child it’s impossible to watch him or her 24/7, and you can have all the preventive measures in place and child can still find him/herself in a dangerous situation with in a blink of the eye. You can be watching your child in a playground and the child can slip of the monkey bar and suffer severe life threatening injuries. Just look out your window wherever you live and watch kids all ages almost getting into accidents. So lets just thank the one above for the all the good and say some Tehillim for the family of this child and specially for the poor driver of this car.
this is a horrible story! no, u cant watch children every second and mistakes do happen. a child leaves the hoouse w/o anyone seeing BUT there are plenty of parents who let kids out on the street w/o any supervision! just drive thru any frume community. g-d is watching them all.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SUCH YIREI HASHEM,
MY HEART BLEEDS TO SEE THEM SUFFER LIKE THIS
HASHEM SHOULD COMFORT THEM AND GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH TO GET THROUGH SUCH A TRADEGY
