They got it backwards. I will hold the road planners, the city government, the driving license issuer, and the driver responsible. It start with poorly designed roads and ends with poor driver training. The parents are the victims here.
If you watch the video in THIS report, it's clear that planners should bare some responsibility here.
They designed no logical, safe crossing where people need to cross. Even during the report, you can see other pedestrians walking across.
The only "sidewalk" is a tiny strip on only one side, and it's right against the curb. You might as well be walking in a shoulder!
And the speed in an area like that is too damn fast.
That road was designed to be anti-pedestrian. Not the parent's fault.
It's the parents fault for birthing a child into this hellscape into the first place. We've built this inherently violent landscape and your letting your spawns roam free? /s
but they want people to have more kids. lolwtf
