You're driving while slightly drunk, kill a kid, injure another, what do you do?

It takes time for them to start investigating, though. First the police have to be contacted, then they come in and a report is taken. At this point in time, they'll want to investigate you, but that's easily going to be a half-hour to an hour later. That's more than enough time to get the car taken care of. After all, YOU don't have to be the one cleaning it off. Contact a good friend. Have them come clean it for you while you wait.

The living child would recognize you.

While that is possible, it is highly unlikely.

1. The situation is more likely to occur at night. The lights of the car on the children would probably hide you (the driver) and the car from their sight as you get closer. If you do indeed run into them, they must not have seen you when you were still distant; hence the living child would not recognize neither you nor the car from the time before you hit them.

2. After the time when you've hit them, if the kid has suffered enough damage to the point where he may lose his life, he's probably either unconcious or in too much despair to care about how you look like. But much more likely, he's unconcious. Let's assume he's not for arguments' sake (since the opposite already kills the scenario). If he did indeed were able to see your face (he still would be unable to recognize the car from the outside but he might grab details of the car from the inside, and hence the scenario is right), you could still always put on a hat or something or 'appear' unrecognizable.

While the scenario is certainly possible, it is not plausible by any means.
