Children (or adults) should not be playing in the middle of a road.

All your casuistry, quibbling, and Gish-galloping doesn’t change those basic facts.
If they hit them at 10mph there is even less of a chance, if they hit them at 5 mph ... etc

Yes, it might be a "fact", but its a pretty pointless fact.
The only safe speed is 0 mph - by your argument we should all be stationary.
