Kippax Quadbike accident

I thought this worth posting as it is often said here that parents of teenage lowlifes face no consequences when their kids ride illegal bikes on the road. In this case, it seems they do.
Quadbike is not stated to be stolen, but it looks like a farmers type, rather than a poser's toy, so it may well be.
Hopefully the little girl will make a full recovery.

7 year old, passenger on a sngle-seat farmer-spec quad, driven by a 16 year old, outside a pub in Leeds (near enough), around 10pm at night?
That's a Council Bingo full house right there, unfortunately the one that's suffering most is the one that didn't know better.
There's a few other pictures about, with the quad having just piled straight into the telegraph pole, so presumably the girl was thrown off, and what are the odds she had a helmet on?

Kippax is part of my old stomping ground. Loads of youngsters had crappy motorbikes but we all rode them in the numerous woods in the area, well away from everyone else.
Do you have any idea how that guy got on two years ago with the surron crash there? He had quite a severe brain injury but I didn’t ever see an outcome.The new generations defo don’t confine erratic riding to the woods anymore.

What I hate is the attitude that anything goes if they are having fun, f*** anyone else who says anything when they are ripping up a park, bit of greenery or just tearing round on the road, at speed, doing tricks (usually endless wheelies ) and if they hurt someone or damage anyone else’s stuff zero f**** given.
The parents let them get on with it, riding motorbikes illegally then have the audacity to complain and blame other people, often then Police when Kyle, Jordan or Jaxon spatchcocks themselves.
When they get stopped it’s “just lads having fun” and “go and find some proper criminals”.
They are all “f*** the feds”, but when the inevitable happens the Police will attend to sort them out, the fire service may attend and an ambulance will be summoned to scrape them up then the NHS, paid for by you and I (likely not them by and large) will patch them up, surgeons, nurses and doctors using time and resources to rehabilitate them. Extra effort to treat some of the trauma, especially the catastrophic head injuries, often through not wearing a helmet.
And, the only people you ever see on the road on a quad are the occasional farmer and scratters.
Hope the little girl gets well soon, hope that the scrotes see the error in their ways but that’s a long shot isn’t it ?

I agree with that, and that is why I was pleased to see that the parents (?) are being pursued for child neglect. A charge less likely to engender sympathy than other possibles, such as handling a stolen quad bike, which is probably regarded as just normal.The parents let them get on with it, riding motorbikes illegally then have the audacity to complain and blame other people, often then Police when Kyle, Jordan or Jaxon spatchcocks themselves.

Might actually lead to the girl, and perhaps the 16 Yr old too, being protected from them.
I know, I am being optimistic.
I've seen some quite young kids riding around on electric scooters since xmas.
A lot of my mates were driving farm vehicles before we left primary school. We were probably more responsible at that age than in our teens with motorbikes, although we knew what was 'acceptable'.
I'm not a fan of quads, they seem to only have 'big' accidents, while a bike will teach you by dropping you in the mud.
