I'm with the parent who didn't even glance your way... maybe you should slow down. Kids will be kids after all right?
well, clearly I was going slowly enough and paying enough attention, since I didnt hit the child.

If I was a parent, I would rather take responsibility for my own child if he or she was too young to behave safely, then just hope the expect that driving down down the road within the speed limit manages to react in time when my kid runs in front of him.
