If there are street lights, the rule is very simple - if the light is red you do not go. If it is green, you make sure that the car is actually slowing down.If you can't tell, you wait until the car stops. In other words, it's never an issue of needing to judge distance.

So is the idea that dangerous chemicals were so easily available to an unsupervised 6 year old.

Childhood is dangerous. But we (parents, grandparents, caregivers, etc.) should be helping prevent rather than causing trouble. It's a wonder any of us made it out of childhood alive!

While driving my 2 y/o to daycare today I saw three parents driving with their toddlers on their laps!!!! That is not only dangerous for the baby, but for everyone else on the road! All the baby has to do it head but the parent and an accident will happen. I also saw two kids riding bikes w/o helmuts. No-one (almost) puts their kids in seatbelts on the Yishuve,e ven thoough people drive pretty fast here. THe worst I saw was a mother driving her jeep with three children on the roof.
