Small front wheel + standing position makes them very vulnerable to hitting tiny obstacles and sending the rider over the bars head first into something typically hard and unmovable.
Bicycles on the other hand have a much larger front wheel typically and can roll over obstacles that would take out a scooter operator.
I really feel like this is going too far on the contrarian end.
Yes foster care and care homes are bad, but I don’t think one should pretend that a child growing up in a dual meth-parent household is growing up in a safe and healthy environment.
The kid could be a lot better off with a grandparent, aunt, or uncle. The shit part is you don’t know until things are in motion.
That child is not in a good position and i think pretending like they are is the “own the chuds” equivalent to burning your shoes because a gay person wore a similar pair.
