Do you have the right to know what happened to a minor child? Have you called the police to ask?

First, that is "lying" in the street, not "laying."

I believe that an accident that requires public resources is a matter of public record. There are many minor incidents that aren't reported simply because...there are so many of them.

We may not have the right to know the identity of the child, but we do have the right to know when and where car vs. pedestrian collisions occur around town. Without this information, dangerous streets may never be identified and fixed.

Are you stating for a fact that you have a legal right to the info, or you're just saying that you *think* you have that right? Call the police, for pity's sake & ask them what happened. If you're not clear on your rights to the info, ask an attorney.

The police log listed an incident at that time and location as a "vehicle accident with minor injury." According to the report, a 2006 silver moped driven by a 36-year-old woman allegedly rear-ended a 2006 white Toyota Tundra driven by a 32-year-old man. The woman was transported to the hospital after saying she was in pain.
