Hey, hey! That's an unfair take. They also kill adults, seniors in particular.
Yeah but the public doesn't pearl clutch like they do when they "think of the children".

I think the point might be that SUVs due to their height have worse blind spots e.g. in front of the hood, which would probably impact children more.
So this particular characteristic would endanger children more than adults and seniors who are taller.
