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.

What??? In Switzerland we walked to school by ourselves at age of 4.
Same here in Germany. Imagine getting killed right around the corner.
And then the parents getting blamed instead of driver??
Victim blaming is basically the rule here.
I did in America too.
They’ve written vague laws about leaving children unaccompanied unreasonably. If you leave your 13 year old alone for a week then that’s child abuse probably. So this is the outcome of those laws.
