Your Help is Needed
Last night my daughter was coming home between 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. At the corner of Fulton and New York Ave., she was hit by a car. She fell over the hood of the car, and bumped her ankle. She is all right.
Did anyone see this accident? She is 14 years old, Chinese, short, (cute!). She was wearing a dark blue jacket, grey jeans, and short brown converse sneakers.

I hear people joking all the time about being treated like a stepchild. For the last couple of days I know exactly how it feels.
The outer boroughs of New York felt the wrath of their stepfather Mayor Bloombreg this week.
