How many times as a kid, have we all run into a road to get a ball?

I know when I was a kid I thought I was superman and notthing would harm me, I would go swimming in the docks, jump off walls 6foot plus, ride my bike with no hands, play in houses that where getting knocked down, and in winter played on the ice the more I was told not to do it the more I did it.

and It was the best time of my life.

what I'm trying to say is you can tell people till your blue in the face, but they will always do what they want.

R.I.P. and my feeling go out to your friends + family.

Me too, so many places that were dangerous, chased by security dogs, hidden in dangerous places and even crossed railway lines. I knew the dangers but didn't if that makes any sense I just thought I was invincible as i'm sure the young lad did last night.

R.I.P. and sympathies to all family and friends who knew him.

It is so sad,can't begin to imagine how his family are feeling.
He was a kid playing football with his friends,not drinking or being involved in unsociable behaviour.My heartfelt sympathy to all connected.
