Here on Timmyjohnboy.com I’ve covered online safety before, including more specifically, child safety.  Today I came across this video that highlights another safety concern which has nothing to do with the internet or computers.  Here we have a seven year old who was able to take the family car for a ride:

Wow!  How WAS he able to see over the dash?  The incident brings up a few questions that I’m hoping some of you can help me with.  Is there a way this could have been avoided?  What could have been done?  Should parents alter the environment to make it safer for their children or should it fall on child training?  See if you can answer some of these in the comments!
