I have hit a few racoons and whatnot by doing this but I stayed in my lane and never caused any damage. The worst part is getting out of the car and making sure they are dead. (crowbar works wonders) Point is its never worth risking your car, yourself , or in your case kids.

Small animals I agree with. Out here in Colorado you have to watch out for deer and elk! They cause so much damage it will total the car and they will still run away from the accident with minor injuries.
