Yes, I totally agree with you lightspeed, children do make mistakes yes but it seems that children are ruining the only dignity that we have.....Parents are to blame as well, parents need to train their children on bike riding and what to watch for. My dad can't leave for a day of work without tellling me to be careful, everywhere I go with my dad if I have my bike with me he always give me the safety breifing....This just sounds like another case of a poorly instructed child, and thus a parent who doesn't take the time to teach their child.
