" These are very dangerous bikes for kids. We had a 13 yr.old get killed on his last winter. He rode it all the time without any parent or adult being around. Tried to ride it upon a snowbank and it flipped over and on top of him. The parents were not around. He was suppose to be cleaning his room. So sad, Children today are not disciplined like they should be and this is the result. "

" For the ones of you that don't understand the address system. The fairground has a Dover address. He was not left unsupervised. He lives next to the fair grounds. When you get in a car you take a risk of wrecking, so do you just set at home and do nothing with you life. Except worry about what you can start rumors about? If it was going to happen it would not have mattered where he was or what he was doing. My daughter fell and broke her arm while I was with her. My point being, parents can not prevent all accident and if you say you can you are lying to yourself. "

" Where are the parents of this child? Obviously he didn't drive from Dover to Germantown by himself if he is only 13 years old. Was he just dropped off and left unsupervised? "

" So where was the parental supervision here? Too often I see young kids on dirt bikes or quads despite warnings that such machines are not to be operated by those under the age of 16. And this problem is not limited to rural areas such as the fairgrounds. In the Cedarwood Subdivison is it not at all uncommon to see several youngsters well under the recommended age flying down the street on these things with no parents in sight. Indifference on the part of these parents and law enforcement can only insure that such incidents will continue with tragic results. "

" I just wanted to note that the injury to the boy was not minor. He was later transported to UK Medical Center for a broken femur, and underwent surgery this morning to have a metal rod placed in his leg. "

" People have been told not to ride bikes on the Germantown Fair Grounds by many many people on the fair board. If this child is the one who was told last summer several times not to ride on the grounds by many directors he has been warned about the dangers of riding there. People need to stay off of private property "
