Guess what I saw the other day?

I was waiting at a traffic light and to my right waiting at that light was a van. In the front seat was an older couple. The woman in the passanger seat had a little girl sitting on her lap!! :eek: Now the girl was older than 3 but still probably needed to be in a booster at least. Or at the very least her own seat and seatbelt!

I know she rode that way too because their light turned green before mine and I was the first car waiting so I got a clear view of them driving right in front of me.

I just couldn't believe it. It just amazes (and saddens) me that people are that careless about kids' safety. I used to work at a bank drive through and would see multiple kids a day not correctly strapped in. :(
But after reading about the story on GMA I have a feeling these kind of people will be around for a long time.

I would have called 911 too.
Where I live it's not uncommon to see 1 year old un restrained, heck our county sheriff drives his hummer around off duty with his 3 year old grandson in the front seat with out a seat belt. I've seen it all, including an infant in the front seat sitting upright like it was being used as a FF converdable seat and it had a toddler in it! I see 6-7 kids (all who should have car seats) jammed in the back seats with not even a seat belt in use.
