my car didn't come to a stop until my front bumper was ~10 feet in front of the kid's path, so if he crossed the road a little slower i would have hit him.

if you stopped in front of his path, how would you have hit him?

In relation to the car, I believe he means.

{ } <----stopped car
------ <-----kid's path
[]
[] <----car's path (moving up)
[]
[]

The car passed the kid's path, so it stopped in front of the path.

EDIT: My illustration sucks.

yeah, your illustration does kind of suck, but you're right. i was beyond the kid's path.
