[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am amazed people feel so comfortable passing judgement on an accident they don't have all the data about, and also gleefully judge people who have lost their children and have a child in serious condition. What is the goal? Feeling like a better parent? If anything we can discuss that boys AND men, grown men included, are much more at risk when it comes to road safety: 3/4th of fatal crashes are caused by men. That extends to bike safety, motorcycle safety and pedestrian safety as well. I doubt this is caused by parenting in every instance. There are other factors at play. There is zero value in passing judgement on this specific tragic situation.[/quote]

I already know I’m a better parent so no, that isn’t the goal. The goal is by publicly calling this what it is - poor parenting - we can prevent it happening to anyone else. Calling it an accident is not accurate and it is not doing anything to prevent this happening again.[/quote]

The judgement reflected in your ugly posts does NOTHING to prevent future fatal accidents. In fact, your posts play into the myth that these tragedies happen to other kids, from inferior families.

The only proven way to prevent future teen deaths is to pass evidence-based traffic safety legislation .

But we know that helping others was never the point of your post. Rather, it was to feed your smug, obnoxious ego.

My heart goes out to those shattered families

Stop stock puppeting. It's unseemly. People are going to judge and criticize here. You can't stop it. Just shut up with your invalid opinions and feelings.[/quote]

Evidence-based facts are neither opinions nor feelings, hence they are valid.

But I realize that is probably all lost on you. [/quote]
