Reply to comment by squall571 in 2 Teens’ Deaths Underscore Dangers of ‘Subway Surfing’ by thenewyorktimes

Eh, I think it’s a couple things here …

  1. It encourages others to maybe try it
  2. We should do our best to preserve kids’ lives while they’re young, easily influenced, and lack critical thinking skills
  3. It’s someone’s job to clean these kids up off the tracks, it’s someone’s job to tell their parents, it’s someone’s job to coordinate funeral details, and that sucks for everyone mentioned
  4. It ruins transportation for thousands of people for several hours

I get what you’re saying but thought I’d drop some food for thought

Fair point, I’m not cheering anyone’s death but it’s the parent’s responsibility to preserve their kids. Too many people are having kids when they don’t know how to be responsible parents or even adults for that matter.
