MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. (AP) – An 11-year-old who was upset about being grounded was fatally struck by a car after writing a note explaining he was running away from his suburban St. Louis home. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Zaelynn Wiseman walked about 2 miles before he was hit Tuesday while trying to cross Interstate 270 during a busy morning rush hour in Maryland Heights. His mother, Garmeisha Terry, of Cape Girardeau, said her cousin, Rhonda Cox, the boy’s legal guardian, grounded Zaelynn after he took Cox’s credit card to buy video games. Terry said her son then left a note, explaining he was going to Cape Girardeau to be with his father.
