On a clear blue spring day in October, a young teen named Thom from one of our local schools was happily walking to morning assembly, much like millions of students around the country.
At a traffic controlled intersection, he was fatally struck down and lost his precious life.
There are no words for the completely devastating loss for his family and the shock that blanketed the school and the wider community on that fateful day.
No one sends their children off to school to never come home.
The opportunity for councils around the nation to lead children’s road safety education is within easy reach for all local government authorities.
This is thanks to the inspiring work of Michelle McLaughlin, Co-Founder and CEO of the Little Blue Dinosaur Foundation ( LBDF ). The foundation was established in memory of Michelle’s son Tom, who was just four years old when he tragically died in a pedestrian-motor vehicle crash in 2014. Since establishing LBDF, they have partnered with Local Government Authorities across Australia to install road safety signage that reminds communities about how to protect our youngest pedestrians.
This week Michelle worked closely with the dedicated team at Mitchell Shire Council in Victoria, providing 8 primary schools with LBDF road safety education presentations.
It’s too late for so many little people like Michelle’s son Tom and our lovely Thom, who have sadly already lost their lives.
Yet we can all make a difference starting today.
Contact the dedicated team at the Little Blue Dinosaur Foundation www.littlebluedinosaur.org for your council and community to work with LBDF to work towards the goal of achieving zero child pedestrian fatalities on Australian roads.
Together we can make a difference.
