Automobile safety crisis as top killer of children
The Journal of Insurance reports traffic accidents now dominate child fatalities in industrialized nations, rising to 45 percent of deaths in the 1960s. The EEC and Swedish studies warn that modern mechanized life exposes children ages 6 to 14 to unprecedented danger, with U S deaths from motor vehicle crashes leading all causes for ages 1–24 in 1974. Adults must shoulder responsibility alongside children, and safety education should target drivers and driving schools.
