I'm a huge helmet advocate but "100% a parenting issue" is a hyperbolic. I see kids riding around with helmets in their hands, on their handlebars, etc. So they knew leave the house with a helmet (probably because their parents told them to) and the chose to not wear it once they were out with their friends.
