The grieving parents of a 7-year-old child who died hours after being hit by a car were charged with involuntary manslaughter after allowing him and his brother, 10, to walk home unaccompanied by an adult from a nearby grocery store.

    The lack of a crosswalk is the municipality’s fault. Someone even posted a Google maps view of the area - it’s just completely lacking them.

    The lack of attention to crossers is the driver’s fault. Any driving class tells you to be cautious around pedestrians, especially children. Even just braking in time might have changed this from death to mild injuries.
