What does it matter that the truck was white? You mentioned it twice. I'm white too, wanna make something of it?

I'm confused, are you trade marking that you have no penis, or that men who drive big "white" trucks have no penis?

His child navigates random traffic, traveling the 100 feet from the big truck into school. He survives and learns. He will be independent and self-sufficient because his parents told him to look both ways and let him do it alone.

Your coddled, spoon-fed, helicoptered child will fail at life's first challenges because you held his little hand a little too tightly. Restricted his experiences a little too fervently. Maybe YOU should learn to look both ways before you cross the street. I hope nearly getting run over was a lesson to your child that mommy/daddy is not in control of everything.

Nah BokChoy, anonymous is completely right in this situation, you're wrong. People should look both ways but people driving in school zones should be extra conscious of the fact that kids might not. That's why speed limits are so low in school zones. Definitely not anonymous' fault that this typical d-bag in a truck decided to drive like a dickhead and presumably break traffic laws in the process. Also, I have trademarked the I've got no penis truck so you'll be hearing from my attorney anonymous.

Sorry smiley, school zones have a lot of cars. Fields of vision are blocked. Sounds like I,A walked her kid out into traffic and got beeped at. Little butthurt and a lot of stupidity.
Maybe all these kids should walk the half-mile to school instead of riding in a car with their parents jocking for the position closest to the door.

Most dangerous place on the child's walk to school is ALWAYS the block around the school itself. The City should institute no car zones around elementary schools instead of Old Town.
