Child hit by car in Garden City, police investigating
"You never want to hear this happening to any child," Blanton said. "I knew her since she was a little baby, and it's really hard. Family is just beside themselves. The child is going to have lifelong injuries, lifelong problems. She's having to have a steel rod put in her back, a plastic hip... These are things you give to someone who's 60, 65 years old, not a child, you know? She's just starting life, you know, and she deserves so much better."
