She did show some responsive movement which is great news.

Wow, it must be really serious. Terrible for them to go through. Hope she makes a full recovery.


There are so many ATV accidents that come in the hospitals. Usually pretty bad.

Who the hell lets an 8-year old ride around on an ATV?

From what I understand it was a youth model side by side. Similar to the photo below.

Everybody is so quick to pass judgement on the parents when you have no details. Now's not the time for that. Accidents happen. I can assure you that this family is devastated and will be traumatized for life by the events one way or another. Keep the little girl in your prayers.

You never know when it's going to be you or your family. I thought this kind of shite on happened to other people, until it happens..

Those things are death traps and kids certainly have no business on them. Should be banned.

I don't know if he bangs them or not but he's got an eye for talent with his jailbait. Bynes, Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, Liz Gillies, Jamie Lynn. That's a nice roster.

I told her at least 10 times, leave your butterfly at home when you go for a ride on your ATV.

I would say its a very bad idea and you can see the result. I get people ride ATV's especially in more rural areas but common sense tells you wouldn't let an 8 year old one.......and I say this as someone who has owned motorcycles.

It's up to the parent. Kids start racing pee wee motocross around 4 or 5 with Yamaha PW50s. By 8 they are jumping higher than I would now, but I'm old and have the fear.

Kids at 8 are doing all sorts of shite in motorsports, especially in Europe. The karting scene over there is nuts.

It should be based more on the kid and the skill/responsibility they present more on just an outright helicopter NO on all things like this.

could we not have just stuck with jamie lynn spears' daughter?

Or just not reported this for any reason?

Why is a private family injury news on tmz?

Why don't we just allow 8 year olds to drive cars?

Dude, growing up in PC Parish in the 80s, errybody had a 3-wheeler. Frigging errybody.
Finally, when I'm 10 or 11 years old, my dad agrees to get me one for x-mas. Mom was furious, but I was so pumped.

Then I wake up to this:


I wasn't even disappoint. I rode that fricking 50 till I looked retarded on it, even after I got an XR 100 at 14.
But by nightfall THAT x-mas day, 3 of my friends were in the hospital from flipping 3-wheelers, and one of them never came back to school (brain damage).

I actually pulled one off of a good friend on the levee in Morganza and rode him home unconscious across my lap on that damn 50 in the 7th grade. He had his jaw wired shut for a long time and never spoke the same way. We remained tight when he moved away the next year, then he moved back to BR in 11th grade and we were in a band together. Best man in his wedding. I talked to him last week, matter of fact, and I still mocked the way he talks.
