You can't blame your self. There was no way you could have known.
Holy shit that is horrible but you like Kng0604 said you can't blame yourself you couldn't have know
As troubling as the situation is, it’s easy to let yourself feel bad about it or feel guilty but you need to remind yourself that the entire situation was out of your hands.
Most adults have their own "what if" situation. I have mine too. You have to eventually let it go. You can't go through life over-worrying about other people. You want to care, of course. Could you imagine how his brother must feel? It's not easy to let it go and I'm sorry to say that I don't have an easy fix for you. Just remember that it wasn't up to you and it wasn't a choice of yours that lead to this tragedy. It's not even his brother's fault. It's solely on the neighbour.
You didn’t know so it’s impossible that you got him killed. Also it kinda sounds real shady if u pick up some kid who isn’t related to you without permission, so don’t let it bug u.
It's done, and it's not your fault. The kid would not want you to be losing sleep over it.
There will be another point in the future where you will save someone else. Hang in there.
As others have said, I wouldn't beat yourself up. Not only could you not have known, but also, kids are taught to not take rides from strangers. Even if you had offered - they probably would have declined for that reason, so I wouldn't consider you to be "guilty" for not offering a ride.
As WarpSpeed said, I can't imagine people would be mad at you or want you to lose sleep. Witnessing something like that is not easy to get over, but it generally helps to try and talk to people, like you are now. If you also have people you can talk to in real life about this as well, it might help you cope better.
