I am Kelsey's oldest sister. The bottom line is that as bad as it hurts or how unbelieveable it is, Kelsey is gone. If or when My Daddy gets proof of whose fault it actually was, then he will think about pressing charges, but remember that will not bring him back. ANONYMOUS, all i will say to you is that you were not there, so don't state what u THINK u know. Gaybreala thank you for being mature and humble with all these messages from people. Rest In Peace, Kelsey, I love yoou dearly.

D.D. is right, they don't need to press charges that man didn't mean to hit Kelsey. We have him in our hearts no matter what. WHoeva Anonoymus is need to shut up cuz Kelsey daddy already feel bad about what happened. Kelsey didn't mean to go out in front of the car, when he rode up the hill he couldn't see the car coming so shut up. Anonoymus you need to shut up cuz Kelsey was loved by everyone, and no matter what he will be loved. So if you don't kno what you talking bout then you need to mind yo gosh dang business.

who ever wrote that can shut there mouths because anybody these days can get hit because if he was watching the road we would not had to be going through this right now would we and i know my grammer you talking smack and you probably didnt even finish school how would you like if your child pasted away you probably be doing the samethings his parents are doing so dont be talking about other people children if you dont know how it feels to loss your only son, brother, or cousin and i find that very disrespectful you should be ashamed of your self and next time put your name if you gone say something ok.

"Yall" need to go to school and educate yourself! Your grammar is horrific!! The driver of the vehicle did not drive away nor does he deserve to have charges pressed against him. Maybe if the 13-year old boy had used his brain, he would not have driven in front of the vehicle. Better yet, if he had proper adult supervision then this tragedy could have been prevented.

No they don't need to press charges. The man didn't leave Kelsey to suffer and die. He got out of his car and cried because he felt bad about hitting Kelsey. Let's think about what Kelsey wants us 2 do. Does he really want them to press charges. Kelsey probably knows that the man didn't mean to hit him. Let's just stop and think about how much we love Kelsey Jamel Perry. We shouldn't be to sad because we still have KElsey in our hearts. Kelsey is in a better place now and he is looking over us watching us and making sure we are afe. So anytime you hear a speacial voice in your ear just think, it is KElsey Jamel Perry. I love ya Kelsey may you rest in peace. Remind everyone that you are still in our hearts.
