@CB- sometimes the truth hurts. But loosing a child would hurt worse. I don’t believe Bill T.’s comments weren’t negative…. I believe they could be life- saving. Letting a 10 year old, be responsible for a 4 year old…. Just a poor decision on the parents part. If that parent wanted the 4 year old to experience an ATV, that parent should’ve been the one driving it!!!
@ Cb…Spot on. My granddaughter has been riding since 4 yr old and has wiped out a couple of times then get back on and go again. I know adults that have accidents sometimes too. Things happen and I hope his doing ok and speedy recovery. Then he’ll be right back out on it again. Scars are trophy’s.
ATV is not a toy.
@Bill T good lord doesnt like people throwing judgement against others, I grew up on four wheeler from 3 years old on. Shame on you for judging without facts. The kids ok thats all that matters. The family doesnt need your poor negative comments which I see regularly
This sounds like a parent problem !! These children shouldn’t be on an arc and we’re probably unsupervised!!!! Parents should be watching the children instead of sending them out on a ATV !!! Even if the parent was standing right there that was a terrible decision to let a 4 year old on a ATV !!!! I hope the child is ok and I’m truly sorry this happened to an innocent child !!!!!
