[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course I would. The parents that won't let grown kids out of their sight for a minute because of "what ifs" are mentally unstable. It is their issue, not their kids. I feel sorry for them. [/quote] I also live in Bethesda and would not. Its not about my child, its about the lack of infrastructure development in this area. Twenty years ago, the roads/crosswalks/lights were the same as they are now and I would have let my child walk to and from school. Now, no, the roads/crosswalks/lights are the same but the amount of traffic and pedestrians in the area is not. It is dangerous and, the rise of pedestrian fatalities proves this. My child was struck in a crosswalk, crossing legally because a driver was more interested in turning right on red without stopping, fyi.[/quote]
