Responsibility

So, last weekend I was driving to Saint John listening to CBC radio and they had a news article on how in the (at the time) last 4 weeks, there had been 4 young children killed by being struck by vehicles in their own yard. The closest of which was in Moncton with an 18 month old being run over by a vehicle driven by a family member.



The report went on to say how new innovations such as proximity alarms and in dash cameras for backing up are becoming more commonplace and will be helpful in reducing these tragedies.



I agree.



However, I found it......upsetting, that it seemed that blame was being placed on the vehicles for not being equipped with these new technologies instead of the lack of adult supervision of children.

While technology can be a good aid in parenting and safety, or any aspect of life for that matter, it can never replace common sense.
