There are bigger problems if you are driving your truck where there are children sitting on the ground.
You mean like a driveway?
I won't say they deserve it, but if your idiot kids are sitting in a row on the driveway when a truck is trying to park, they might just deserve it.
Do you have kids?
Do the kids deserve to die in other ways also? Or is this the only one? How about sticking things in wall outlets? Petting wild animals, how about that one? Playing with knives and scissors? Putting their head in plastic wraps? Jumping in a pool? If kids are dumb enough to do any of those, do they deserve to die from those causes as well? Can you even see what you're suggesting?
Instead of sitting in front of a truck trying to park, how about a parked truck trying to pull away as is likely the realistic scenario from which kids have actually died by their own parents' truck? Did those kids also deserve to die according to your logic?

good lord. I thought the sarcasm was dripping but apparently you just need to be outraged.
This is no laughing matter, and where are your stilts?!
