You live in a neighborhood, you should maintain awareness for children.
If the parent was negligent, it is a separate issue...

You should always maintain an awareness of kids. On the road, you should always maintain an awareness of motorcycles....but shit happens.
The father of this boy was an idiot. He wasn't watching that kid, because from "two or three houses down", he wouldn't have been able to see him and even if he could, he wouldn't have been able to stop him from doing anything.
Don't think one year olds are fast? Take one to a department store, put him down and turn your back, count to five and turn around....
