News :
William Avery-Wright, 13, was running late for a rugby match when he was hit by a Land Rover while crossing the road at Worth School, near Crawley. An inquest at Crawley Town Hall recorded his death was accidental. His father William found out about his death on the way to hospital after receiving condolence text messages. The school said it told other parents in "good faith" believing William's parents had been informed by police. The inquest at Crawley Town Hall heard William should have been supervised by an adult while crossing the road. Assistant deputy coroner Bridget Dolan said: "A school rule was not enforced or adhered to."
My Opinion:
First of all my condolences to the parents of the child. Second off, I think that the school should have taken in consideration in safety measurements because of its 'not too save'' traffic surroundings and that the school should have enforced its rules more properly. I also think that even when being aware that the parents are informed of the death of their child, the school should have called the parent(s) instead of texting or messaging. You cannot be convinced that it is a proper way to inform a death by a text message.

I think the reason this gets so much attention is because it happens in a western civilization and it could have been so much worse. Actions like this cause more fear to people in countries that are at peace than a bombing does in a country at war.
