"Too many children are backed over by cars every year by parents, grandparents or other people who love them, a problem that's become known as \"Bye-Bye Syndrome.\"KMBC 9's Donna Pitman spoke with a survivor whose family wants to make sure it doesn't happen to any other child.Skye Coleman, 2, looks at pictures of moments that doctors said she will never remember, but her family will never forget.\"You never have the idea you'll get that call,\" said Skye's grandmother, Terry Jordan. \"You get it and your world stops turning at that very moment.\"\"I got to the house and Skye's grandma told me, 'She's been hit by a truck,'\" said Skye's mother, Casey Coleman.A family member in a hurry dropped the then-18-month-old off with family and then left.\"The moment he hit something, he thought it was his brother's dog,\" said Coleman.Skye was flown to a Kansas City hospital. Doctors told her mother she had just a 5 percent chance of surviving the trip from rural Havensville, Kan.Amber Rollins of the Kansas City-based safety group Kids and Cars said the problem has become known as \"Bye-Bye Syndrome,\" because children often run outside to say one more goodbye to a departing family member.\"Before anyone realizes they're out there, in seconds, they're gone,\" she said.Rollins said she's frustrated by the lack of progress on this issue. Congress directed the Obama administration to come up with a rear-visibility standard in 2008, but there still isn't one.\"There have been over 1,000 deaths and 85,000 injuries in backovers since the law was passed,\" Rollins said. \"Every day this rule is delayed, more children, elderly and adults are at risk of being injured or killed.\"Pitman said she sat in the front seat of a regular-sized SUV and could not see any of the 25 children who had been asked to sit behind the parked vehicle.Rear-view cameras are a possible solution. They are sold at electronics and auto parts stores, costing about $150. They can be installed on any vehicle and some insurance companies give discounts to people who have them.Skye underwent surgeries and is now recovering, beating the odds. Her mother said it's a miracle. She also wants to make sure no one else gets the horrifying phone call she received.\"There are ways to prevent children from being rolled over or backed into,\" Coleman said. \"You just have to pay attention.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
