“CHILD-FRIENDLY Space” (????)
WHAT SAY YOU?
I strongly believe that main thoroughfares like EDSA- where traffic is always heavy,
should be maintained as a “child-friendly space”…
EDSA, Manila Philippines- Calling the attention of the proper authorities- PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THIS MAIN THOROUGHFARE IS SAFE FOR CHILDREN.
That, I think, is not the case in this picture-not when a small child is being taken for a motorcycle ride, and just being carried through the arms of a passenger in this small vehicle while the driver keeps on trying to maneuver and to overtake all the big buses and trucks in there.
The life of a child is more precious that catching up with time- with schedules and all.

i admire your motherly instinct. there’s minimal we can do on this
situation for simple reason it is accepted practice however there
could be a law that prohibits such but it’s not implemented. maybe,
they will, when there will be rush of accidents which involve kids
passengers on motorcycle.
i must have overthink … there’s no totally safe place for the children
even inside the womb. they are in constant danger from something…
disease, accidents, mother taking drugs, physical mental abuses etc.
parents endanger their children all the time by merely not sending
your kids to school, you are endangering them not to have a decent job.
