Cul-du-sac in a gated community. Not a big open street to be speeding through.
I live on a court. Neither I nor my neighbors have small children, but we do have dogs which we grab when we see a vehicle coming, even if it’s chugging along slowly. We have no idea the what the state of the driver or the vehicle is, we know that it’s our responsibility to remove our dogs from potential disaster.
The parents should’ve been more “right there” than they were, as in walking along side their precious child and being ready to remove the little one from harm’s way. Obviously the drunk driver bears 99% of the blame. The parently will have to live with the 1% they could’ve prevented.
