What is it going to take to stop this. Laws made? Education for the kids? Parents putting their foot down ?🥺

Schools need to have assemblies to address this.
Laws take too long.
Parents obviously don't care.
Kids have no damned sense.
It's going to take a student to be killed and the thoughts and prayers and weeping, wailing and teeth gnashing will commence.
It will be too damned late.

redneckroy : Shouldn't be legal either!

Those eScooters/eBikes should be taken off the streets. Maybe then, parents would be less nonchalant about the safety of their littles...they've already shown us they don't follow the rules and pass that trait on to them.

Wake. Up. You're not your kids' friends, and technology isn't your babysitter!

It's only a matter of time. We only see action when there are multiple fatalities. WAKE UP, PARENTS!!!

MooMaw :
Pretty sure the kids are not hoofing it to the store and buying those scooter and minibikes themselves. Maybe start taking action against the people supplying them.
