“Should be able to” doesn’t mean jack shit in terms of fault here.

The reality is, it wasnt safe. Yeah, it would be nice if it was safe.

But it wasn’t safe, and any parent that isn’t a negligent idiot would know it’s not safe, this is literally the Fuck Cars lemmy, so you should know how dangerous a 4 lane road is.

And thus you should know not to let your kids out unsupervised near one.

I don’t give a shit how safe we would like ot to be, the functional inference of "was this mother negligent or not* isn’t based off how safe we’d like it to be

It’s functional of how safe/dangerous it actually is at the time.

It’s like if a mother let’s her kids play unsupervised in a fucking hurricane and you try and argue “well there shouldn’t be a hurricane”

No one should give a shit, there very clearly, obviously, and demonstratebly was a fucking hurricane, so don’t fucking let your kids play in it. Don’t be a fucking dumb ass, supervise your children in potentially dangerous situations.

If this was some like a quiet neighborhood 1.5 lane sleepy street I’d be on the mom’s side more here.

But it was a fucking 4 lane busy road

Yes, that should be obviously negligent behavior to literally anyone with 2 braincells to rub together.

Fuck cars, but also fuck negligent parents that let their kids play near fucking traffic.
