I lived on 364 for the first 16 ,yrs of my life....sen plenty of bad accidents on that highway n Lovejoy Rd....and I can't phantom the reason why a parent would let their 1 yr old on that Rd by themselves..... Mennonite or not...parents should be charged also..... just sayin.... just my opinion....
