People like that give us a bad name as bikers.

Pikey scum on "no V5, no keys" gumtree specials. Half that estate will know exactly who they are.

bastards need their balls cut off to stop any further inbreeding and genetic defects, hope the child makes a speedy recovery and the vermin who caused the damage get nailed to the wood

Which one's the toddler? The girl on the left or right?

Ah, welcome to modern Britain.

Why was she crossing the road with three motorcycles approaching?

I'm sure I should shut my mouth and stop casting aspersions - but either the child crossed the road into the path of the bikes with the mum trailing behind, or the .. er, mum, crossed the road with her daughter hand in hand, either way, the "parent" didn't seem to be "parenting" because roads are dangerous, there's three bikes, try not to walk into the road when they're approaching. ... eh. You might end up "on the mudguard".

My question is, basically, what was the mum doing - I know my mum never walked me into a busy road. But maybe the bikers were doing silly speeds, who knows.

It's a fair point but regardless of the situation if you kit a pedestrian the correct thing to do is stop. Doubly so when it's a toddler.

Let's fac it even if the mum was at fault, stopping and calling an ambulance could save the kids life.

If the mother was being negligent it's not the childs fault it was born to her. They should have stopped.

I wanted to see if any follow-up to the story. Did a google on "Rotherham child biker accident" and found another accident in April. So a 'common' occurrence?

This, right here, is why the per capita legal aid budget in England and Wales is among the highest in the world.
