The people I live next door to, and I don't know them, have quite a few kids...apparently they have some family around the block that also have a few kids...between then I've seen atleast 4-5 diff kids 4 and younger. Two that I know live next door is a baby can't be more than a year old...if that. Everytime they get in the car they put her in the front seat in someone's lap. And this is a daily thing, I've seen it almost everyday for a couple weeks and they are always gone so I know it's happened when I haven't been actually outside to see. Then there is a little boy no older than 4...rides in the backseat, no carseat of any kind and not buckled. I have also seen another boy about his age riding that way too and then a couple other kids. Whenever they pull up, or their family, there is almost always kids in the car just all over the backseat. I've even seen them pull up in one of their SUVs ( and these people have nice cars..which really bugs me that they can spend a ton on a car and not even go buy a cheap seat) but they have a bunch of kids piled in there some even riding in the "trunk space" of the SUV!!!!
I have called the cops before but the cops can't do anything without actually seeing it happening, when I call they send out an alert to all Ft. Worth cops but apparently they haven't been caught or it hasn't changed anything if they have. I really want to call CPS because those kids are being put in danger daily BUT I really don't know if I should? Will they do anything?
Also another neighbor has 2 little girls, one just turned 6 and the other is 4 1/2. Now I have pretty small kids my 6yr old is 46-47in and 42lbs, my 4yr old is 42in and 36lbs. Their 6yr old can't be more than 1-2in taller than my 4yr old...at the most and is thin just like him. Their 4yr old is even smaller. Texas law as I'm sure you all know is they have to be in a booster until 8 or 4'9...well neither ride in anything, they do buckle up...most of the time. The school is around the corner from us, about .5mi, and I see them pull up with the 6yr old up front, HANGING out the front window, like at her waist, she could easily fall right out. I'm sure they think it's ok because it's such a short distance and just in the neighborhood, but obviously it's not
What would you do?
