    I never said stroads were good.

    You understand two things can both be a problem at once right?

    Stroads are indeed awful.

    Letting your 7 year old go and play near one unsupervised is also very bad too

    You don’t get to just go “roads bad” and this excuses the mothers negligent behavior. Both can be bad, at the same time.

    • @pixxelkick There was no negligent behavior. Why have we become a culture that criminalizes every aspect of motherhood (ignoring the father’s role as an equal co-parent) from having an abortion or even a miscarriage to not keeping your children on a leash for the entire 18 years they are minors (or at least 16, at which time if you can afford to buy them a car you can let them loose to kill people) and then bitches that women don’t make enough babies?

        to not keeping your children on a leash for the entire 18 years they are minors

        Hyperbole.

        Theres, crazy as it sounds, a reasonable middle ground between:

        1. letting your SEVEN YEAR OLD play UNSUPERVISED near a fucking FOUR LANE BUSY ROAD vs
        2. Putting a leash on your teenager

        The fact you had to reach for such insane hyperbole demonstrates how out to lunch you are. Yes, the woman was 100% legally negligent, its absolutely fucking insane to try and pretend letting a SEVEN YEAR OLD play with no adults around near a fucking busy ass four lane road. Are you genuinely insane?

        God I hope you don’t have kids, lol.

      • @pixxelkick If children can’t walk to their neighborhood grocery store safely, that’s a societal problem, not an individual one. Instead of looking for a scapegoat to punish, fix the fucking neighborhood so it doesn’t keep happening (to adults as well as children).
