Martinez said the boy was riding a small ATV with a 50- cubic-centimeter engine on the family's private property and that no laws prevented him from operating a vehicle.

Cooke said it was not unusual for families on farmland to allow small children to operate ATVs.

Granted he should have had supervision but if you haven't grown up in a rural farming area this seems more shocking, at 4 I've seen kids ride dirt bikes for hours with no one paying attention and they didn't end up dead.
