After Kyle Jenkins was injured in a hit-and-run, his school resource officer tracked him down when others could not.
-- A student with disabilities ended up in the emergency room after being severely injured in a hit-and-run – and left unable to speak.

Jenkins is 21, but he has the cognitive skills of a preteen – and his grandmother was worried."So I knew something was wrong immediately," said Chris Harris.Chris Harris isn't a teacher.
Harris explained that he went door-to-door –"knocking on doors, basic police work, canvassing the area.""My worry was that he may have been accosted, killed," Harris said. It turned out Jenkins was the victim of a serious hit-and-run. Someone ran him over and left him on the side of the road in Dixmoor."They say he has traumatic brain injury," Morgan said.
