I agree. For all the discussion of what *might* happen to a child walking through a city (traffic is my main concern for my own children), the fact is that the boy arrived at his destination safely.
A mistake was made (by someone). Everybody should calm down, and work toward avoiding similar mistakes in the future. There are always going to be errors in any institutional system, even if everyone is doing his best all the time. It's part of life, and meltdowns and lawsuits aren't going to change it.
that's true, i don't agree with the lawsuit remotely, but the school has to be held to account for errors. mistakes have consequences, even when made by school administrators.

I like how you think!
