IT WILL be every parent’s worst nightmare to get a phone call saying their child has been involved in an accident.

But that feeling will be even worse if they discovered the person involved did not call for help or try to assist, but instead drove off to leave their loved one injured on the road.

Sadly, it is a scenario that has come true for the Alam family, and while 18-year-old Tarak is thankfully out of hospital, he is still badly hurt.

The family deserve to know who was responsible and anyone who knows anything about should come forward to the police and show some compassion.
