Be it a bicycle or a dirt bike. Kids need supervision. Sunday about half a mile from home We were coming near an alley. We saw this 11 year old on a bike slowly pedaling his way along the alley towards the street we were driving on. He was looking right at us and just kept pedaling. Aleah slowed and moved over(luckily there was no vehicle coming in the other direction) Finally Aleah came to a stop just as the boy decided to turn his bike away from the front of the Jeep. We missed hitting him by inches. He upset in the yard next to the road. Sitting in that yard with big eyes he waved at us! I asked if he was ok. HE shook his head yes (don't think he could have talked if he had to) I asked if he was scared? Again an affirmative head shake. Aleah left then or I think she would have been out of the vehicle kicking the boys bottom. I sure hope that child learned his lesson.

It's amazing that kids ever grow up to be adults.

We recently saw the boys neighbor and spoke to her about what happened. Seems this boy was hit on a bike once before. His parents apparently pay no attention to what their kids(Yes plural) are doing. No supervision. They are getting extra help for their schooling during the summer months too. So that they don't lose what they have learned during the schiool year. The parents have been told multiple times about keeping their children at home and watching them. There are times when I believe in neutering for humans.

Obviously those parents, and the kids, have problems. Can a family service protection agency step in?
