What is the name of your state? VA
The child was riding his bike with my kids and he apparently lost control and ran off the pavement and into some trees. As a result, he is in the hospital with internal bleeding. This is apparently one of those statistical anomolies where a kid with helmet still gets seriously hurt riding a bike.
The child was invited when the father called and asked me if his two kids could come over and play. This has been a back and forth ritual from our house to theirs and vice versa since the weather started getting nicer. The bike belongs to the child, not us.
I know child injury laws place more burden on the property owner, but I simply don't know what I could have done to prevent this except:
1.) not have the kids over to play, ride bikes, etc.
2.) in this case, let the kids play but not ride bikes.
All commments are welcome. Thanks
