Ryan, this is AWFUL. I'm not surprised this happened to you in a school zone - 
parents are distracted and rushed and just generally at their worst in school 
zones. It's a battlefield out there. I think that's why you see so many 
So-and-So-Memorial crossings by schools. Blood will run in the streets 
eventually as long as we have cars swirling around school zones. A compressed 
L1 vertebra is really something; so sorry this happened to you. Your thoughts 
on a GoPro are my thoughts, too - I wish I'd had one! I don't even know how 
they work or how to use one, but sure seems like it would have been useful 
yesterday. 

I found one of the kids who was there on that sidewalk after school. The kid 
was really hesitant to give me any information (as he well should be) said he 
didn't know his mom's cell phone number, has no phone of his own but was 
willing to give up "my mom's house phone." Then he promptly told me he'd be 
really hard to make contact with. Sigh. I am also 99% sure he has special needs 
and am not sure how he will be at recalling and repeating events. I emailed the 
number to the officer and while I was at it, asked if he was ever able to make 
contact with the driver. Here is his emailed response: " Yes I was able to 
track down the driver.  I issued him multiple citations for the violations.  I 
spoke to him at length about your concerns and the safety of the public.  He 
will have a future court date.  Thanks."

I feel happy that the driver has been tracked down and dressed down, but not 
happy that he wasn't arrested and his license revoked, though I kept my 
opinions to myself. I also wonder what his side of the story is, but I dare not 
ask the officer any more questions as I feel I may be dangerously close to 
nagging, ha!
