A neighbor called 911.
Tamara learned as emergency crews were taking her son to the hospital.
A neighbor’s security camera showed her son lying in the street as a silver car took off from the scene.
Tamara said that it was the car that hit her son.
“The back bumper was like a gray bumper, and the passenger side of the front windshield is busted,” she said.
She hopes someone watching has information on the car and the driver.
“So this person who hit my son, who was a child and just left him behind, can pay,” Tamara said.
