DD just turned 6 and she is a young 6 and also little at 38lbs. She is attending a nature camp this week, her first ever day camp. Today the director asked me if I could chaperone a field trip because they have 18 kids and the bus (short school bus) only holds 14. I told her my time frame that I could help and offered to leave my cell. She said never mind they would probably just play in the sprinkler on campus and not go to the lake.
Well fast forward tonight and DD tells me she got to go to the lake and she didn't ride in the bus she got to ride with "some lady" in her car. AND...she rode there in the back seat w/ NO booster or car seat and she rode home IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR!!!! I am absolutely sick to my stomach thinking about this. I will be going to camp in the morning and withdrawling her if the information she has told me is correct. I just can not believe this I am so upset and have had horrible images in my mind all evening.
I am also angry that my state has such a lame car seat law so I can't even tell camp they are breaking the law, 6 or 55inches, really? cut me a break they worry about changing laws all the time, what about child restraint laws???
I have such a heavy heart tonight, thanks for listening, I am just so flippin upset.
