I wasnt online yesterday at all and only seeing your post now!!!
I have lived through something similar with my sister and the shock you are going through and the impotence that you are feeling will set you mad. I know you are running it through your head over and over again and dwelling on the worst case scenario that could have happened.
Try and look on the positive side of it. He does not appear to be too badly hurt, but needs to be kept a close eye on for the time being, especially the concussion.
They will get the madman who did this, apart from the camera phone videos there will surely be CCTV of the area. He will not be driving for too much longer.
My heart goes out to you and your son.
Best wishes

I used to play golf with 2 Irish priests....brothers by blood as well as the cloth. When Fr. Mike brought the bottle it was bourbon.......and on Fr. Jim's day it was Scotch......and they would nip a bit all the way around on a chilly day. Fr Jim would uncap the bottle and loudly proclaim.....only thing the damn Scots were ever good for. Then Fr. Mike would would proceed to tell golf stories from his youth in Ireland the rest of the day. Great memories...........they never did understand the way American celebrated St. Patrick's Day

slante(irish for goodbye ) just to clear up the one thing irish hate is the way the americans think we irish say "top of the day to you " we never say it but we love the "craic " (a laugh )
