Childhood is a precious time filled with love and growth.
Unfortunately, not all children get the opportunity to experience life’s joys.
A tragic event shook the family of 7-year-old Katniss Selezneva.
Katniss, playing in her neighborhood, was struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run incident.
Her parents had to endure a devastating moment as they said their final goodbyes to their daughter.
The heartbreaking loss of Katniss has deeply saddened the community in England, as reported by the British Mirror.
Life can change in an instant.
A peaceful day can quickly turn into a tragedy.
The Selezneva family from Walsall, England, experienced this harsh reality firsthand.
Katniss, a vibrant 7-year-old, was playing outside in her neighborhood as usual, enjoying her scooter ride around the area, according to the British Mirror.
However, one fateful day changed everything.
Quiet Neighborhood Shattered by Noise
The once serene neighborhood turned into a nightmare scene.
As Katniss played outside, her vigilant mother kept watch over her, but in an instant…
A loud noise pierced the air, signaling something terrible had happened to Katniss.
Her mother, Tsvetelina, rushed outside to find her precious daughter lying motionless on the ground.
“Wake Up, Katniss, Dad is Here…”
A neighbor initiated CPR and called for emergency assistance.
Katniss’s father arrived swiftly, cradling his daughter in his arms as they awaited help.
An air ambulance transported Katniss to the hospital, but despite efforts, she peacefully passed away shortly after the accident.
“You were brave, healthy, and joyful. Why couldn’t you fight for your life?” her father appealed, “Open your eyes, Katniss, Dad is here, open them,” but she closed them forever. Rest in peace, dear one,” expressed Tsvetelina in a poignant social media post.
“May you find peace and courage in your journey beyond, so you aren’t fearful in the darkness without us! Peace to your soul! One day, Mom will join you. Amen!”
14-Year-Old Boy Accused of the Incident
Investigations revealed that Katniss was hit by a motorcycle in the tragic event.
According to the British Mirror, a 14-year-old boy is suspected to have been the driver responsible for the collision.
It’s unimaginable how the family will move forward without their beloved Katniss.
“I feel helpless, words cannot convey it, there is no solace. Every day, she told me: ‘Mom, I love you, you’re the best and most beautiful because you care for me and do everything to see me happy,'” shared Katniss’s mother.
“You once said I would shine as a star and you would be left without me on Earth, now it seems the opposite has happened.”
Katniss, you departed too soon. Rest in peace, little angel. Sending love and strength to the family during this challenging time.
