CC....joking aside, two brief points for you. Firstly, I would have thought you of all people, knowing the trade as you do, would "keep your powder dry" and wait for more evidence/facts before hanging the driver. He may indeed be a nutter who tried to kill this little cherub, but who knows, as others have said, it
may have been an accident, or the kicking his leg, or perhaps even more of the story may be "enhanced" elements...for a better effect. The driver may well deserve a custodial sentence for it, but we've all seen just how different the truth often turns out to be when drivers are accused of things varying from "taking the long way round", to rape...or assault. I think I'll wait for more facts before joining the lynch mob, and even then, be willing to let the courts decide this driver's fate, if deemed appropriate.
Secondly, it only takes a few seconds of the red mist descending for there to be unintended consequences that can change lives forever...and even the mildest mannered can fall victim to it at some point (some little to$$er robbing you of over £15, when some days you might not earn much more once the fuel is paid for, might do it for some
). There but for the grace of God....as they say.
But the fact appears to be that the driver didn't actually hang around to give his version of events. Therefore leaving one person and his mam to give theirs.
As for the red mist.....yes I accept that can happen, especially to the more inexperienced cab drivers out there.
