Oy! Bye-Bye Syndrome

I realize that the death of children is a serious issue. But come on I think giving this a cutsey name is ridiculous. This isn't a syndrome,or an affliction its poor driving and not bothering to look around you. If you feel compelled to by a monstrous SUV or even a minivan you should take the time to find out what and where the blindspots are. That's just sensible driving.

I mean think about it you are operating a vehicle that wheighs about a ton and can hurtle down the road at high rates of speed. In fact before you can do just that,hurtle, you have to pass a test and be licensed. For Pete's sake don't turn the poor driving of some unfortunate people and the tragic deaths of children to push people to buy god-darned back-up video cameras.

Additionally who is supposed to be watching these kids when this happens. I know when I was a kid if someone was backing the car out of the garage or driveway I was always either in the car or safely on the sidewalk.

I think the thing that really gets me here is the cutsey frickin name. It just seems like it's trying to assuage some guilt from people that have been part of a terrible tragedy.
