"We want somebody to help us," said Giovanni's sister, Veronica Valle. "We want our voices to be heard."
The family of teen Giovanni Valle, 13, who died while riding a scooter to his school is advocating for a crossing guard near the intersection where he was killed. Just after 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Valle was struck by a red compact car near Sierra Middle School at Sierra Street and Streeter Avenue in Riverside, California. The driver possibly ran a red light. Mourners paid tribute to Giovanni at a makeshift memorial on Friday. Friends and students wore his favorite color, blue. A school spokesman said they have a budget to place crossing guards where they see fit. The district is now deciding whether to add more.
