None of which have made these children safer from traffic accidents than many other causes including accidental fatalities involving guns (Latest stats I could find was 650 vs 102 in 2011). On the other hand we have over 20,000 gun laws on the nations law books including laws against shooting children.

So to get back to your original question.

So dead and wounded children are acceptable? They're just collateral damage? Is that it?
Well? Are six hundred and fifty dead children acceptable? Just the price we should pay for our love of rapid personal transit?
