During the early morning hours on Sunday, a man was hit while riding his bicycle on East Main Street near the Interstate 270 bridge on Columbus' east side.

Tina Maharath, 16, "I was on my way home from hanging out with friends and I hit something. So I looked in the rearview mirror and I noticed it was a guy,"

I guess I am old fashioned and I have to wonder what a 16 year old is doing driving home in the “early morning hours from hanging out with friends”.

Her parents might have something to learn from this.

Color me prejudice. But in this part of the world, nobody can get a driver’s license until they are 18 years old. Kids 16 years old are still children.

Amen to that. Unfortunately, the parents will likely learn nothing. Far too many of today's parents are far more concerned with being "liked" by their kids 100% of the time instead of providing the guidance and structure that's so desperately needed in youth.
