I agree with rear vision being the problem in most 4wd's but all vehicles have this problem to a degree. So you take more care when reversing, not rocket science is it?
My wife's caris a Chrysler PT Cruiser.
With the rear seats upright the rear view is extremely impeded due to headrests and large rear pillars. There is no way to see a 5 yo walking behind the car.
The root cause here is lack of suitable supervision by the parents, nothing more or less than that. We all know how easy it is to lose track of toddlers anywhere, so should we ban swimming pools in homes unless we have a dedicated lifegaurd on duty because little kids have drowned in them before.
This is a tragic loss and i don't discount the pain and suffering the parents have endured, but the cause is not the vehicle.
Scruby must be relishing this, the single-minded slime that he is. He will cynically seize on every opportune event to further his mindless cause. His concern will be faked, he only wants to improve his visibility to the public.
