[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids do dart out into the street though. When I walk with my young kids, I hold their hand. I don't let them bike or scooter because of this very scenario.

I feel very bad for her parents but I believe it was a tragic accident and that the driver didn't do anything wrong. You need to hold your young child's hand at all times on busy roads and intersections.[/quote]

People don't "dart".

Also, as you say, kids are kids. They predictably behave in unpredictable ways.[b] Why should we have to hold our young children's hands at all times, lest they be killed? [/b]Why shouldn't it be safe for kids to bike or scooter in their own neighborhoods? Why is it acceptable for streets to be unsafe - deadly - for children? [/quote]

When you’re near a busy street? Is this a serious question? Wow.

This is the father’s fault. Hold her damn hand.[/quote]

You don't mean "busy street", you mean "street with lots of cars where drivers drive at dangerous speeds". Why should there be any of those, in a city?[/quote]
