There's this story in the news about an 8-year-old boy who crashed his mom's car, killing his 6-year-old sister, when they went driving after the mom had put them both to bed.
I am amazed at how many people are jumping in and saying that she should not have had the car keys where the kids could get them. It would never occur to me that my kids (even at 10, much less 8 and 6) would go driving in the middle of the night just because the keys were on the counter. I don't know anyone who hides car keys from children on the off chance that they might steal the car and die.
Even teenagers -- if you have to hide the keys to keep them from taking your car when they've been told no, you have a bigger problem.
Am I crazy? Or, more to the point, am I wrong?
