The girl who was run over

[Kraco]

And replying to Kraco's quote: No 2 year old remembers shit about being 2. This one, if she lives, won't even remember getting run over, much less that mommy wasn't next to her.

Catching the point as splendidly as only Ani can. It doesn't matter if it's 2, 3, or 4 - all of them will panic sooner or later when they notice they can't see their mom (or dad) anywhere.

However this was outside the home, and the child was literally outside. You want to tell me its unlikely for something bad to happen to an unattended 2 year old walking out on the street? Parents should have the sense to know that this is a bad idea, hence why they are partially, even if only a little, at fault. I do feel very bad for them, and they are victims as well. But I have to blame them a little under these basic assumptions/circumstances.

Nah, and I won't even deny that if you push a kid out of the airlock in space, something bad will happen. Mentioning particularly the street is irrelevant. Especially since the video showed some bloody backalley or whatever, certainly not a proper street with cars driving 40-50 km/h. So, for all we know, the kid might have escaped from indoors. In any case, if we start from the Western tradition of assuming not guilty unless proven otherwise, then it's plausible to assume the parents didn't let the kid to wander the street alone. She simply ended up there in some manner that will remain unexplained forever. Just like a few people here claim the parents did too little to ensure she was safe, it's also possible to claim somebody else did too much to make it possible she wasn't. Like open a door the parents thought would remain locked.

Still, I admit there's a reasonable chance the mother will bear real responsibility by having been negligent. We will never know.
