A longtime Democrat leader in Illinois is facing serious questions after hitting a child with her car and leaving the scene. Will County Board member Jackie Traynere struck a young boy on his bicycle while he legally crossed a Bolingbrook street on March 11. Despite clear evidence and witness accounts, Traynere received only a minor traffic ticket while avoiding criminal charges.
Witnesses say Traynere accelerated into the crosswalk when her turn light turned green, hitting the child as he rode to school. Police reports show visible damage to her car hood matching the bicycle collision. The boy’s bike chain snapped during impact. Traynere left the scene and later told police she “wasn’t sure” if she hit him – even as officers documented dents and scratches on her vehicle.
This case highlights the two-tiered justice system protecting Democrat elites. Ordinary citizens would face hit-and-run charges for fleeing an accident involving a child. Yet Traynere – a powerful county official – walked away with just a failure-to-yield citation. Police dashcam footage shows officers arriving to find the shaken child alone in the street, asking “Where’s the car?”
Traynere serves as Democratic Leader of the Will County Board and DuPage Township Administrator. She’s spent years promoting liberal causes like Bolingbrook Pride and radical gender policies. Now her actions expose the hypocrisy of leaders who claim to protect children while endangering them in real life.
The mainstream media hid this story for weeks until watchdogs forced its release. Videos show Traynere lecturing about “Child Abuse Prevention Month” while abandoning an injured child. Her social media posts about building “a village” to protect kids ring hollow after this incident.
Illinois conservatives are demanding answers. Why did Traynere flee the scene? Why did police ignore state laws requiring drivers to remain at accident sites? Where are the felony charges any regular citizen would face? This appears to be another example of Democrat officials putting political power above public safety.
The child fortunately escaped major injuries, but the bike damage proves the collision’s severity. Traynere’s light punishment sends a dangerous message: Democrat leaders can violate laws without consequences. Voters must question whether their communities are truly safe under leadership that protects politicians over people.
As this story goes viral, Americans see the rotten core of Illinois politics. From Chicago crime waves to corrupt officials like Traynere, Democrat rule continues failing families. Until voters demand equal justice, political elites will keep acting like they’re above the law.
