Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

My neighbor says I drive to fast (I do the speed limit which is 25 but they wish I'd stay under) Mainly because they have a 3 year old and say "if my child runs in to the street it will ruin your life and ours". But is it really a crime if I am doing the speed limit and THEIR child runs in to the street because they haven't taught it any better not to?

still attempt to sue you civilly for damages resulting from

the injures to this child under the factual scenario described.
