Concerns over road safety for children were raised after two accidents in Huddersfield involving youngsters.
Both youngsters were hurt in the space of a few hours on Tuesday, in Honley and in Meltham.
Now many people have taken to social media to voice fears that parents and schools could do more over safety.
Many have said that more can be done with TV and council campaigns.
But officers from Kirklees Rural Neighbourhood Police responded with a message on Facebook.
They said: “We showed some of the safety films last week at a Road Safety Day at Scissett First School, the kids loved them and reacted really well to them.
“Unfortunately, the department that made all those fab Public Information Films has closed, and the Department of Transport who now produces Road Safety adverts has had their budgets slashed.
