Anthony Resnik died two weeks after he was hit by a car while crossing the street in Sunny Isles Beach. It happened on February 10, and on February 24, Anthony died from his injuries.

“This is my first night at home,” said Anthony’s mother, Inna Trakhtenburg. “I was there with Father Anthony.” We were there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you look at the vital signs, he was a perfectly healthy baby who could have been discharged from the hospital, but that didn't happen because he was brain dead."

Trachtenburg still wears a visitor sticker from the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood.

Anthony was a happy, athletic child. Just two months before the boy's 12th birthday, he was pronounced dead.

“Every second I hoped that he would wake up,” Trachtenburg said. “It’s a kind of numbness, a feeling mixed with such enormous grief that I don’t know if it will ever heal.” Everyone knew him as a kind, smart and very honest child.”

Accident

His older sister Tatiana was with him during the accident.

"They went to CVS to get soda for his friends," the victim's mother said.

An 11-year-old boy was hit by a car while walking along a pedestrian crossing at 163rd Street and Collins Avenue at about 19:00, writes WSVN... According to reports, the driver slipped into a red light.

“This was a terrible tragedy and we are all heartbroken,” Sunny Isles Beach Police Chief Dwight Snyder said.

The young victim was airlifted to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in critical condition. The driver stayed where he was.

“It happened near the park,” said Sunny Isles Beach Vice Mayor Larisa Svechina. — Children cross the street here. This is happening more and more often.”

City leaders said the incident is a reminder to parents that they need to talk to their children.

“I hope every parent will talk to their child and remind them how important it is to first of all put on a helmet and look both ways,” Svechina said.

The family decided to donate organs

Now the boy's family is trying to move forward, so it gives life to others.

“He was not only my brother, he was my best friend. We were very close, so it really hurts me to see what’s happening,” Tatyana said. “But I’m glad he has friends who were there for him.”

Anthony's mother revealed that they decided to donate his organs, and although he left, they hope to find peace knowing that he is still helping others.

“I will know that a part of Anthony still walks the Earth and helps others grow and be happy,” she said.

Anthony Resnik Boulevard

In honor of Anthony, people lay flowers, balloons and stuffed toys at the scene. Passers-by are saddened and outraged by the tragedy.

“Very, very, very sad,” remarked the stranger.

“My child is 7 years old,” said one of the women. “He lives in this city, and what is happening is simply shocking.”

Residents are outraged that drivers often exceed the speed limit at the spot where the boy was hit. Police officers patrol the area to stop any driver passing a red light.

“I don’t see people speeding in Golden Beach or Bal Harbor, but for some reason there are a lot of them in Sunny Isles,” one resident noted.

The public has created a petition for Change.orgto change the name of Sunny Isles Boulevard to Anthony Resnik Boulevard. At the moment, there are more than 3000 signatures under the petition.

“I hope that with his name in the city where we live there will be many changes, because there are many families with small children,” Trachtenburg concluded.
