Carolyn Hax: Letting toddlers play in the street — what could go wrong?
https://wapo.st/34sdP1c
Dear Carolyn: There are parents in our neighborhood who set their kids’ toys into the street, then let their toddlers (about 1 and 2) play there. Sometimes the parents are sitting close by, other times they are engaged in yardwork. This area is about 30 feet from a corner, so you turn onto our road to suddenly (barely!) see these kids over the hood. When you slam on the brakes, the parents wave and giggle as if to say, “Aren’t they just adorable?!”
We neighbors don’t feel it’s our place to challenge their parenting style, but we all fear this will end in tragedy. Your advice?

The thing about letting a lot of people help is that they want some say in the WAY they help.
