PBA, wearing helmets is a NY State law for a very good reason. I have seen how a helmet cracked in half when my friend’s child hit a rock on the road while riding his bike and flipped over. That could have been his skull that cracked in half. B”H he was wearing a helmet. That is a very serious issue and parents NEED to implement that rule. No helmet no bike. It is absolutely negligence if a parent does not enforce this rule. If a cop sees this a parent gets a fine and should be fined. Children are NOT dispensable and parents should STOP taking them for granted. Every parent needs to check that the area they are playing in is safe.
On the other issue neighbors have to be good citizens and good neighbors and not think that the world was created just for them. It has nothing to do with chasidish, yeshivish, Jew or gentile.
