The girl, who was riding her bicycle home from school, was struck by a white SUV as it pulled out of a parking lot near a health club. The girl, who had bruising to her leg and slight damage to her bike, did not see the license plate.

You hang in there sunshine!
I don't mean to sound like Bob Barker, but come on people have your pet spayed or neutered to avoid stories like this. I don't know if these kittens were wild, but since they were together, that's a sign that they were dump by someone.
Anyone that would dump a litter, what does that say about you as a human being? If you can find the time to dump them as trash, then you have no excuse to find the time to take them to a shelter and give them a chance to find a happy, loving home.
Wish they all turned out this way.
