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.

You’re right. There’s nothing insinuating the driver is at fault in the article. That being said with him being 76 I’d fucking loooove to see if he could pass a driver’s test.
The fact theyre charging the parents is fucking ridiculous.
If a 76 year old passes a drivers test, there is something seriously wrong with the test. I have never met anyone above 70 with good reaction times.
@Alaik @Aragaren It’s quite possible the driver was following all the rules and using the road exactly as intended and wasn’t able to stop in time because the road design and speed limit encouraged drivers of any age to travel at speeds incompatible with child pedestrian traffic despite being in a populated area surrounded by homes and stores. It’s also possible they wanted to retire from driving but were thwarted by the same demonic traffic engineers and land use planners.
