Worth noting that child was literally safer walking home alone than being in the car, since the odds of dying in a vehicle related death are multiple times higher than odds of being abducted and killed by a stranger; odds of being abducted and physically harmed by a stranger are even less likely than being injured in vehicle accident. Would not be surprised to learn that school districts in area even require children to walk to school if they are within that distance to their schools. Anyone involved in this should at very least should lose their jobs and family should be awarded significant compensation for the harm done to the family.
