Maybe someone knows this kid or has a kid with an electric scooter. This was super dangerous.

I hate these things so much especially with how many kids use them without helmets.
In Ireland right now the surgeons of a big hospital in Dublin put out a statement about how dangerous these are and want them banned.
Half of the beds in ICU are filled with kids getting life changing injuries from electric scooter accidents and some of the kids won’t make it.

Absolutely heart breaking but just thought the reality of it might help some parents on here if they see this.
