IrelandA mother whose 14-year-old son, Jayden Deans, was seriously injured by a scrambler bike in Dublin's north inner city expressed concern over the growing danger posed by these motorbikes in residential areas. Jayden, who has autism and dyspraxia, was struck while crossing a pedestrian crossing on June 20th. His mother, Sandra Deans, described the moment she arrived at the scene, fearing her son was dead. The incident highlights concerns about the reckless use of scramblers, which have been banned in public spaces since April under 'Grace’s Law,' named after a 16-year-old girl killed by a scrambler earlier this year. Locals report increased fear, with some parents refusing to let children walk alone. Witnesses claim scrambler riders often act aggressively, and community leaders argue that enforcement remains inadequate despite the ban.
