ATV's and unloved children

I don't know if y'all have seen this story about the nine year old child who was racing across the highway with his brother when he was hit by a car and killed. They have considered prosecuting the woman who hit him! HE was doing something ILLEGAL and just plain stupid. His parents obviously did not care about where he was or what he was doing. This woman already has to carry the guilt of having hit and killed a child. It was not her fault.

The town where I live is full, (no exaggeration) of yahoos who ride ATV's out in the road. From the 14 year old boy whose Mama thinks he would never be up to no good to the immature, tobacco chewing men in their 40s who race up and down the road. It's dangerous. It's foolhardy. These people need to stop. They are endangering their own lives and the consciences of others.

Parents, please know what your children are doing this Summer! They are, after all, just children!
