Darwin candidate?

Darwin Awards are for people who remove themselves from the gene pool by doing something stupid.
Should people also be candidates if they remove their descendants from the gene pool?http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/boy-grand-river-mother-road-closed-grand-valley-orangeville-1.4546612
Police said the boy's mother ... went past a road closure sign. It was foggy at the time, but they said she knew the sign was there.
Police said they are not sure why the woman decided to go around the barrier, and ... they continue to look for her son.
The van she was driving was swept into the Grand River just before 1 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
Yes, losing a child merits sympathy.
But driving around a barrier onto a flooded road is stupid.
If she's reckless enough to drive on a flooded road, she's probably also young enough to have more kids, so she's still in the gene pool - no Darwin Award for her. Yet. Are the genes a total crapshoot every time, or do they somehow vary with age? Could older pregnancies produce smarter kids? (Or dumber, since older, smarter parents might divert their offspring from misadventures?)Saskatchewan family adorns farm fence with nearly 100 colourful bicycleshttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/saskatchewan-family-adorns-farm-fence-with-nearly-100-colourful-bicycles-1.4542602
