Does aggressively scanning the road and slower speed gives you a better chance to avoid a collision with a child?
Yes, scanning the road ahead is important for detecting potential hazards, like children. Driving at a slower speed gives you more time to react to unexpected situations, such as a child running into the street. Combining both strategies increases your chances of avoiding a collision with a child.

If a child ran into the road 65 to 70 feet ahead of you vehicle what is the highest speed from which you could stop could stop with good brakes?
You could stop at 20 miles per hour without hitting him. --------------------- Assuming The Highway Code formula for stopping distances: stopping_distance = thinking distance + stopping time = speed + speed²/20 ft (where speed is in mph) → 65 = speed + speed²/20 → speed² + 20speed + 1300 = 0 → speed = -10 + 10√14 mph ≈ 27.4 mph (The negative square root can be ignored as it gives a negative speed which is nonsense for this problem.) However, this assumes that you observe, think and can start braking within 15/22 (≈ 0.68) seconds of the child running into the road (1ft for every 1 mph of speed), and your braking matches the Highway Code assumptions for good tyres, brakes and dry road conditions.
What must be taken into consideration when determine a safe speed?
The speed restrictions imposed on the section of road, the volume and speed of other traffic on the road, the visibility conditions - how far you can see ahead, the dryness of the road surface, your stopping distance for the speed at which you are travelling and the likelihood of sudden hazards, pedestrians or animals, side wind speeds, your experience, the make of car and type of tyres being used.
