The headline should be:

"Person in the middle of a 4 lane road, at night, with no lights is killed by a speeding car."

That's all that matters.

* The car was speeding. Doesn't matter who it was, but they should be dealt with appropriately.
* That the kid was 10 is completely irrelevant. If the kid had been 16, none of you would have the comments about the parents, yet it would still 100% as tragic.
