posted (February 26, 2014)

And while that family wants to thank the unknown person who helped them, another family wants to speak with the unknown individual who knocked down their 13 year-old son and cousin.

Earl Ismael Flores was struck in a hit and run on Sunday afternoon just after his family had had dinner. He was walking around in Burrell Boom when someone knocked him down and fled the scene. He was fortunately found a short while later by residents who alerted his parents.

He was rushed to the KHMH, and he remains in a critical condition, and today after searching for answers his family turned to the media to make a plea to the person who did it to just come forward and speak with them. They told us that this person needs to accept that a human's life is now on the line because of their actions:

Kyla Myvette - Cousin of Accident Victim
"On Sunday, he was in an unfortunate incident, where he was knocked down. It's a hit-and-run accident between Boom and Buttercup, right in front of the Saw Mill. Currently, he's in a critical state where he suffered severe head injuries. He has liquid both of his lungs."

Octavia Lucario - Mother of Accident Victim
"Well, right now, I am just asking God to help my son so that he can live. And, whosoever do it, I am asking them to please come forward because I'm saying what if it was their child, what would they do?"

Flores' family also told us that they haven't been satisfied with the progress of the investigations being done by police.
