Parents-kids running out in front of cars.

This afternoon there were a group of kids who looked to be about 11-12 on 2nd ave. One of them ran out in front of my car (not near a crossing) and I very narrowly missed her-luckily I was going super slow but if I had been going the speed limit, I would have hit her. I slammed on my brakes and stopped while she continued to run across the road, laughing to her friends who were all laughing like it was a big joke. It actually looked like they may have been doing it on purpose for fun-I really hope not though. I was in shock, and in hindsight, should have gone and talked to them. 

Please give your kids a reminder about road safety, I will be talking to mine again too.
