Oh, wow. So you want someone calling the police everytime you break a law? Regardless of whether you think that it is a good law? Maybe if that happened we would lose some of the stupid laws we have. Assuming anyone still had enough life, liberty or property left to change the laws.
Of all the "caring, neighborly" posters here, not one of you has shown a whit of interest in getting to know the dad, and talking to him about bike safety. Utter hypocrisy.
If your child's life is not your decision, just whose decision is it? Mine? Some gov't committee? CPS? As I stated before, every day parent's make decisions that affect their children's lives. When I was a kid, there were no seatbelts in the cars we had, and it was not illegal for me to ride standing up, sitting down, or laying on the shelf in the rear window. Now it is a crime. Same behavior, but now illegal. My parents "put my (then a child) life at risk. Should we dig them out of their graves & prosecute? They let me ride a minibike w/ no helmet. Evil criminals. Some of you might want to re-examine just how many of your freedoms you want to give up while you are wanting to take them away from others.
The man did not kill his kid. Get a grip. Please.
