“Dear Parents,

I do not like to bombard parents with emails.

But I beg you: Do not allow your children to ride electric scooters!

The video below is of a Darchei boy who borrowed a friend’s scooter.

Would you give your child a loaded gun?

If, chas v’shalom, a kid is badly hurt—or worse—you will have only yourself to blame.

A parent asked why I am so tough on this. After all, his son says, “All the kids have electric scooters.”

I told him not to believe his son.

As a general rule, “Almost all the kids” means two other boys.

I beg you!
