Your Mayfair kids are recovering after Benner and Oakland scare.

Your Mayfair kids are recovering, thank God

Alright, listen, this Mayfair story, this jawn right here, it’s got me hot, or nah? You got two kids, just ridin' their bikes, probably headed to their friend's house or to get some wooder ice from a corner store, and they get hit by a car on Benner and Oakland. I’m not even gonna hold you, my heart dropped when I read that. These are our babies out there.

### What We Know So Far

Here's the rundown of what the police are sayin' right now:

* Two children were hit by a car while riding their bikes. * The incident happened at the corner of Benner and Oakland streets in Mayfair. * Both children are currently recovering in the hospital. * Police are investigating the jawn.

This ain't just some random accident in some other city; this is right here, in Mayfair, a neighborhood full of families and kids just trying to be kids. Every time you send your little jawn out to play, you wonder if they’re gonna come home safe, especially with the way traffic moves through some of these streets. We gotta do better protecting our young bull and young sis out here. That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.

We gotta pray for these kids' speedy recovery and hope the police get to the bottom of how this happened. We need safer streets, especially in our residential areas, so our kids can actually enjoy being kids without us constantly grippin' our chests.
