Yes of course but that doesn't make taking that risk with your kids somehow morally correct.

Cars are supposed to stop at crosswalks, stop signs, and red lights. They are also supposed to yield to pedestrians for right turns. Yet drivers constantly violate these rules. If you saw a parent letting their 5 year old enter cross walks or cross streets unattended, without looking both ways to even see if cars are coming, would you think "sure, that's fine, at least they are in a cross walk and technically cars are supposed to follow the rules and not hit them."

Or would you think, "wow that is some negligent parenting, doesn't that parent know you can't trust drivers? a lot of drivers won't even look for a person that size crossing the street. what if a driver is on their phone and just rolls through? Stupid." Because it is stupid.

Yes cars make everything more dangerous. But your job as a parent is to know that cars are dangerous and make decisions accordingly to protect your children from this known danger. Not use them to make a political statement about America's preference of car infrastructure over people. Save that for your city council meetings.[/quote]
