STRUCK BY VEHICLE

According to court documents obtained from Jules’ attorney, Sylvester Anderson, Jules went for a ride in his go-cart in his neighborhood with another 13-year old boy who had been spending spring break with the Moor family. A third minor boy, another friend of Jules’, rode a small bicycle behind the go-cart.

Jules saw two cars behind him while driving back home, so he decided to drive his go-cart completely off the road to his right onto the grassy edge of the neighborhood park to avoid being in the way of traffic.

It is then that Jules states that Johnson swung her vehicle across the south-bound lane of the road, ran over the curb onto the grass and deliberately and intentionally rammed her vehicle head-on into the go-cart.

According to Jules, Johnson got out of her vehicle and confronted the boys in a hostile and threatening manner yelling “Where do you live? Who are your parents?” while shaking her finger at the kids. Jules goes on to say, “With all due respect, Ma’am, I live down the street,” to which Johnson allegedly tells him that she didn’t care and that she was calling the police.

Jules called his mother and told her that Johnson had hit his go-cart and didn’t know why.

Jules and the other 13-year old boy in the go-cart sustained back and neck injuries as a result of the wreck. The boys had collars placed on their necks, were placed on stretchers and taken by ambulance to the emergency room of Southeast Memorial Hermann Hospital. They were treated and released, but Jules has since been diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and is seeing a therapist regularly.

According to Theresa, her son has been completely traumatized and has not been the same after the ordeal. He doesn’t wish to talk about the wreck.

“My son is not the same,” says Theresa. “He doesn’t want to play outside anymore or leave the house alone. I just don’t know why she did this to my child.”

Johnson was not arrested or drug-tested upon the admission of her actions. The Sheriff’s department Captain that came on the scene decided not to arrest Johnson upon consulting with the District Attorney.

“I don’t think this was handled properly,” says Anderson. “I think it is clear that this woman should have been arrested on the scene and charges should have been filed, for nothing else, for misdemeanor assault.”

Anderson believes that this is just as bad as shooting someone and, that you have to protect people from dangerous people who perform intentional acts like this.

“To run into somebody intentionally with a truck is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, than shooting someone,” says Anderson. “You can’t do this type of thing without impunity. This is not something that this family will accept.”

According to Jules’ attorney, they have filed a civil lawsuit and a criminal investigation is in process.

I find it strange that she was not arrested , or at least drug tested .

WTF!?

[malq]

Ok, lets get right down to what's important. What is the race of the kids on the go cart and was the driver of the Jeep white?m There may be no issue here is there is no racial disparity.


The neck braces were put on as a precaution while transporting to the hospital.

PLEASE!
What is with the kids being diagnosed with PSTD? Can we not have any event in life now where there is not a clinical diagnosis of PTSD??? It's gotta be racial.

Can we not have any event in life now where there is not a clinical diagnosis of PTSD???

You mean, like, the non-traumatic kind of events?

PEARLAND, Texas—A collision between a Jeep and a go-cart in Brazoria County has sparked a race debate that’s initiated a flood of phone calls and e-mails from across the country.

But while people on the outside are debating race, those close to what happened are shutting down that argument. Still, they have a problem with what’s occurred.

"Race is not an issue, what is an issue is right and wrong," said Brazoria County father Jules Moor.

Moor has filed a lawsuit against the woman who investigators say drove her Jeep Wrangler into his 13-year-old son’s go-cart on March 13, 2012, as he was riding in the 2600 block of Lakecrest Drive, where he lives.

His son was rushed to the hospital with head and neck injuries.

"I don’t think, I know for a fact that she intentionally did it," said Moor. "She left from the northbound lane, crossed over into the southbound lane, jumped the curb and hit my son head on in his go-cart."

The Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office did not arrest the woman at the scene or charge her with a crime. Instead, investigators chose to take it to a grand jury.

Monday, Capt. Chris Kincheloe of the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office said he’s fielded over 70 calls regarding this case.

He said misinformation went viral, and race was at the center of the outrage.

"I talked to people from Maine, from California, one from Canada," said Capt. Kincheloe.

Kincheloe doesn’t believe race had anything to do with the collision, and he said it has nothing to do with why the woman wasn’t arrested at the scene of the crash.

"It was my decision to slow everything down, to do a thorough investigation and have the charge probably vetted to a grand jury," said Capt. Kincheloe.

The case will go to a grand jury on Wednesday.

The woman, who KHOU-TV is not naming because she was not arrested, could face a charge as serious as aggravated assault.

She responded to calls from KHOU with a written statement:

"As a mother of two children, I was concerned for the safety of these kids because they were driving their vehicle erratically and at high speeds through the neighborhood and also came dangerously close to a lake. When I saw them driving erratically for the second or third time that evening, I pulled my vehicle over and stopped" she wrote.

"They were still driving fast and because they had driven onto a grass area, when they hit the brakes to stop, they skidded and ran into my vehicle after I had stopped. This is about the safety of children and nothing more," she concluded.

Meanwhile, Moor’s son was still recovering from his injuries Tuesday.

So Deanna Johnson is now saying she was only concerned with the safety of the children . I'm not sure why this article does not give her name . Her name was published in a previous article .
