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.

    Outside of listing out all things, u did not mention why the parents were not hold on to their kids specially in US. Why?

    Also ask the question why a 76 years old is allowed to drive? May be no good public transportation system? Oh no now we let senile folks drive. And also how easy is it to get license here in US, my cat might legally drive

      Why should I?

      The other people in this thread have already detailed for you how there should be nothing wrong with kids walking to the store. Why would I waste my time when you’re just going to ignore it in the favor of a 76 year old murderer?

      Furthermore, how is it that you’ve read what I wrote and think that I agree with a 76 year old being behind the wheel?

        Murderer is a stretch. This looks like involuntary manslaughter. Murder means he was aiming for the kid, and I don’t see anything suggesting that.
