    Default Toddler run over twice!

    Poor thing, talk about bad luck.

    A disabled five-year-old famous for her courage is critically ill after being hit by another car

    Sophie Delezio was lucky to survive the first accident, on Christmas Eve, 2003: she suffered 85 per cent burns and lost her feet, but her recovery inspired Australia (MARC McCORMACK)

    IN 2003 the smiles and courage of Sophie Delezio, then aged 2, won the admiration of people across Australia after she was gravely injured by an elderly driver whose car crashed into her childcare centre in Sydney. Yesterday Sophie, now aged 5, was back on life support in a Sydney hospital after being hit by another elderly driver on a pedestrian crossing.

    I feel for her and her family. May she have a speedy recovery.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Possibly review how te elderly keep teir lisenses? My grandmother is getting the same way. Ractions way down, strength abysmal and eyesight is bad too. Almost an accident waiting to happen.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    She's going to be fortunate.

    She's unlucky to be hit by a car. There was no heroism involved.

    It seems there is a growing trend that a severe enough injury automoatically makes the person either a hero or brave.

    i don't think its the injury so much as the survival that makes her brave

    And she is a hero for surviving those elderly people who shouldn´t have a driver´s license anymore.

    I agree.

    I hope she survives, well for her sake to be perfectly honest as it doesn't really impact on my life at all, but I don't see the bravery or courage, just a survival instinct
