I didnt know the little girl or her family, but I have seen them before in my place of employment and my 12 yr old daugter Erika and her friend Alejandra new her. This is horrible I dont even want to imagine the pain her mother and family are going trough, losing her baby that way, to some heartless person with no respect for life, can do this to this helpless little girl and think they can get away with this!! We need to get together as parents and a community and take a stand against these hit and run drivers. This happens almost everyday in Miami and it needs to stop!!! I will do what I can!!!! God Bless her mother and family and make them strong to go though this and find her killer.
