What’s not normal is the shift of responsibility from drivers to victims.

Imagine unironically thinking that if a person jumps out on a busy road in front of a moving car and gets hit, somehow thats the driver’s fault.

How many layers deep inside your echo chamber are you?

We can’t keep prioritizing cars, leaving no room for pedestrians and kids to move freely, then blame the victims.

The answer to this is not to let your seven year old child go wander out into traffic on a road, thats an insane kind of response.

You don’t get to go “Well because we don’t have enough crosswalks, better just let kids kill themselves, cuz they outta just be allowed to”

That’s an absolutely insane kind of response to the issue.

Cars sucking does not excuse the mother’s behavior here. Stroads being dangerous literally means her behavior was negligent. A lack of crosswalks or safer alternatives does not excuse her behavior.

You’re logic is on par with going “Well this mom let her seven year old wander around on a pier on a lake unsupervised. Her kid fell in the water and drowned. But really the city shouldn’t have made the lake that deep so really the mom isn’t at fault here. Kids should be able to safely wander around unsupervised on piers on lakes without worrying about drowning. In a perfect world every pier is built in a way that makes it impossible for kids to fall off them and drown. So yeah, the mom did nothing wrong”

Do you see how insane that sounds? No mate, that’s not how the real world works.
