"I'm happy that he's alive," she said. Kayden was injured Thursday night when two vehicles – an SUV and a pickup truck – hit him around 9 p.m. at 33rd Street and Susquehanna Avenue. Bryant said it happened when she was putting her kids in the car after having a picnic with friends at nearby Fairmount Park, but Kayden got away. "We heard a big boom, and it was my baby in the middle of the street," she said. "I cried a lot that night, until I seen him and got to hold him and seen that he was going to be OK," said Donna Ross, Kayden's grandmother. The family said both drivers never even stopped. Philadelphia police are now looking for the drivers involved. Police also released a picture of the SUV believed to be connected to the incident.

CBS Philadelphia Bryant said she still can't understand why the drivers didn't care to check on her little boy. "I just don't understand that you just hit my child and didn't decide to get out the car and try to help him. You just kept going," she said. "Like, all I'm really asking for you is to turn yourself in." Still, Bryant remains thankful the situation didn't turn out worse, and her little boy is just fine.
