Former Nickelodeon star Kianna Underwood<\/strong>\u2019s father is reportedly asking himself \u2014 and others \u2014 a painful question in the wake of his daughter\u2019s hit-and-run death.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this one time [my partner] Tia Ynvme Taylor<\/strong> and I were in the Catskills and we saw this fox on the road. I could tell it had been hit,\u201d Anthony Underwood<\/strong>, Kianna\u2019s dad, wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post shared on Saturday, January 17, according to People<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a dangerous curved road and I contemplated moving our car into the middle of the road so it wouldn\u2019t get hit again,\u201d he reportedly continued in the post. \u201cBut before I could do anything someone came around the corner and didn\u2019t slow down when I started flashing my highbeams. So the driver ran over the fox, I remember the horror I felt when I saw that. Another driver pulled over and picked the fox up who was still alive and put it on the side of the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cAll I can think about is did anyone show my baby that same compassion, as someone ran her over like roadkill. Did anyone try to comfort my baby as she layed dying in the street alone, or did they just stand around with their phones.\u201d<\/p>\n
