One would think so. But how do we know they weren't coming around a curve and that's why they didnt' see the train?
You blame the parents? Those of you who blame the parents must not have kids, because - as scary as this sounds - you do not always know where your kids are at all times. The sleep over at a friends house..... sneak out....
When I was sixteen I lied about having to go to work - two nights in a row. The first night I had my driver's license confiscated by an off duty cop, and when I went out the next night to the police station to get it back I lost control of my car, and hit another car head on at 40mph. The car I hit had a 14 year old mentally retarded kid and his mother in the car. (Thankfully no one was serously hurt.)
I also remember when I was a kid one of my classmates snuck out, grabbed the family car, ended up drinking, and drove off a cliff.
We all did stupid shit when we were kids. Some of us lived to tell about it.
