bike
But throwing a rock through someones window didn't put your life in
danger (except for maybe by your grandfather). When you are out on the
street, riding a bike, if you don't use common sense you can be killed. I
agree maybe for the first offense try talking it out with the parents, but
if that doesn't work, then fine him. If talking to him doesn't teach him the
lesson, maybe having to pay a fine will. But I do think this teaches kids at
an early age that their parents can't always get them out of a situation
they have gotten themselves into. Would you all be bitching if it was a 19
y/o that was riding his bike and hit a car?
Sure, but what ever happened to
parents talking out a problem like this? When I was about 10 or so I
threw a rock through a window. That was illegal. Destruction
of private property you know. I suppose they could have called the
cops you know...I was even technically trespassing. You know how it
was handled? My grandfather went to the people's window I broke and
made a deal. He would pay to fix the window and handle my
punishment. You know what? It worked. There is
absolutely no reason that same kind of common sense couldn't have worked
in the issue being discussed.

Last I checked, kid or adult not obeying the rules of the road was
illegal too. If they are going to be on their bikes in the road they have
to obey laws just like anyone else regardless of age.

What I don't
understand is why no one feels that a kid on a bike has to obey rules
of the road and rights of way the same as anyone else on the road. I
know....I'll just go out in my car and start hitting people.
maybe some people feel that kids are just kids
and they can make mistakes. the kid wasnt out in the road trying
to run people off the street, he was playing with friends. Last time i
checked that wasnt a major crime however hitting
pedestrians is :))
