Apparently, the driver knew him. Another article reports she screamed his name before she ran him down.

For Pepperpot:
The driver who struck him, Brittany Cantarella, is italiano.

I would love to know the back story to this. There has to be much more to it.

Me too. I googled around but couldn't find anything links to the story on the accident. I'm wondering whether his parents named him that or if he had his name changed. Besides that, how would you like to live in a place named "Belchertown"? (Where this Jesus Christ is from.)? Doesn't quite have the same ring as Bethlehem, does it?

No it doesn't lol. I also wondered if he changed his name or had it his whole life. I can't imagine (well actually maybe I can with what I see and hear) that someone would saddle their child with a name like that. I hope we see more of the story in the days to come. Thanks for posting it. It's one of those weird things that makes me laugh and wonder all at once!

I just visited my friend's kindergarden class where there was a child named Jesus. It was not pronounced "Ha-sus", as many other Hispanic children, but as the conventional "Gee-zus". So she feels very odd in the cafeteria to tell Jesus to stop hitting, or throwing his food. In class she said "Jesus I need you now" and felt odd, lol.
