every day in the United states 44 kids are hit while walking
Did a quick number crunch. That's about 16,000 kids a year. In a nation of 370 million residents, that comes out to 0.004% chance in one year. Unsure how to turn that into a '1-in-x' percentage to compare it with other health threats, but it looks pretty small.
Anyway, not judging the site's message. Always a good idea to keep eyes on cars when crossing the street.
