I mean, I'm pretty sure I've heard of recent cases where women have been gang raped just walking down the street as well, but my comment was more referring to ops comment that they should be agitating for better public transport. I agree with the sentiment, but there might be a safety factor pushing the lady to drive. That's possibly true for walking too. Walking may also not be feasible due to lack of walking infrastructure or mobility issues. My mother in law probably couldn't walk a kilometre, she's not obese and is mostly mobile, but she's just had multiple knee replacements and walking that distance isn't possible.

Right, but also there's the whole gang rape thing.... Imma go ahead and say people should do what makes them feel safe from gang rape.

We know way too little about this situation to be judging this family so harshly. What if the child is disabled and has mobility issues? What if the walk is on a busy road with no sidewalks? What if the path is up and down a very steep hill? Maybe they can be walking this every day, but maybe not…if you wanna complain about the culture being car-centric, fine, but there’s not enough info to blame the family.
