there's no way to even know if she;s speech impaired just from that,because it is common for even fully verbal autists to become non verbal or speech impaired during accidents/emergencies/unpredictable events.

she might not be,.....but she could be what is known as a 'runner' [this gets changed to 'absconder' when become adult] escaping easily,she may not have even had any danger awareness...who knows apart from them.
just isnt something can judge unless know them.


Or she could have even been in her driveway with the car partially jumping the sidewalk.


There is no way to criticize anyone here (girl, parents, driver) with out the news article because there is no information here that tells anything here that is necessary to do that

agreed,need more info.
ChristinaCSB,

YOU brought up bathrooms, kid.



In response to your criticising her parents for not engaging in watching her at every second, which you claim to have the ability to do and insinuating that all parents do and should

Quote:
If she's not capable of riding her bike safely, then she should either not have a bike to ride on, or she should be supervised while riding the bike.


There is nothing at all in this thread that says she isn't capable of riding her bike safely. We only know that she was hit by a car while on the bike. That says nothing at all about her ability to ride the bike safely. People have been hit by cars while sitting in coffee shops or sitting on park benches- does that mean that those people are incapable of sitting safely?

Quote:
Keep in mind that what was wrong in this case was that this girl with 'special needs' eluded the supervision of her caregiver, and that the caregiver was care-less in allowing her to do so.


Where did you get the information that shows this girl is so special needs that she wasn't capable of being out on her own at times. Because all I have to go on is what the op posted about her and there is nothing that says anything like that.


Quote:
THEY are at fault, not me, so stop trying to make it seem as if I am somehow to blame - stop with the "Ad Hominem Tu Quoque" attacks


So pointing out where logic fails your statements is attacking you.

Seriously, if you truly believed that you can keep an eye on your child, every second is you claim, than why do you get angry when questioned about your doing so?

If truly believe that this girl is incapable of being out on her own, then why do you consider it an attack on you when someone points out that she has some skills that show she is likely capable of being out on her own and most definately does not to be watched every second?

I'm not blaming you for anything other than making statements about this girls parents that is based on fallacies without getting needed factual information to make such statements and for making a statement about how its possible for parents to watch children every second, which has been proven to be false by every parent on earth and every researched who investigated such things

Typical.

Funny how the autistic girls care-givers are given the blame. The neighbours said she was more consistent on her bike more than anything, we know that NT people can misread the autistic nation, so there could be some wrong info here.
It is true, one parent can NOT watch a child all the time. The child would feel restricted, I know I would. Without full information, I do not blame anyone. I can't do that.

If I was there, I probably would end up saving her, that would be my first instinct.

Anyway, the Parents should sue the caregiver and the car driver for.

1.) Neglecting duties
and
2.) For negligent driving resulting in homocide.

Any parent who cared about their kids would do so.

The clerk would laugh you out of court before you ever saw a judge if you sued the driver for homocide in this case. :lol:
