shaking my head...treasure island fl

:confused: Last night we were heading to treasure isalnd to the beach and we were at a red light, i looked over and there was a van with a little girl who could not have been over 3 yrs old sitting on her knees in the front seat hanging out of the window!! I told myself to just mind my own business but then quickly said eff that " excuse me...mam???" she looked at me like wtf do you want weirdo lol...i told her its very unsafe for your little girl to be hanging out of that window and not be safely restrained, she told me to go "F" myself , so i followed her and called the cops...they pulled her over within 3 minutes , it was great to see the cops actually care about it.
i dont know what is wrong with people, i didnt approach her rudely at all.

Wow, the cops actually came?
That's right around the corner from me, and no one here used car seats properly, much less boosters (I doubt most people would even knw what they are). Sad, seeing as how that is such a well to do area of town, you know they can afford it! WIth the average house costing well over 2 million, I don't understand why they won't shell out forty bucks for a car seat.

I saw someone drive away with a little sandal with a foot in it on the dashboard on Friday :mad: I would have called the cops, but they drove away before I could get their info:( I wasn't sure at first that it was a kid because I couldn't see the kid, just the foot. By the time I was sure it was too late :thumbsdown:

Good for you for calling!

Wow that's great they came! And the fact that she didn't hesitate to say F--- in front of her daughter doesn't really speak volumes about her either.
We went grocery shopping tonight and I fed DS in the car before going in. I watched at least 5 families come in and out and NONE had their kids in boosters or a car seat. These were kids from 2-6 years old. One family got out so fast I doubt their 3 and 5 year olds were even buckled in. All were, of course, in nice big expensive SUVs.

I'm sure she doesn't live in that part of town, she probably came from...well, I won't name any towns, but if you're a local, you can fill in the blank with your own favorite slum. With a mouth like that I don't think she'll be winning any parent-of-the-year awards anytime soon. I am surprised that the police responded that quick, good job.

UGH.. Friday while we were at the bank I saw a lady pull out of a parking space, talking on her cell phone(of course) while her 1 year old bounced between the front and back seat.. You know, that little space where the arm rest is.. Yeah, she was there... I was pissed. But too flustered and in a hurry to think to get her license plate number.

I don't think the police would even bother around here. I'm glad they came!

Saturday at the park we saw ELEVEN people (mostly kids) get out of a compact car. I have no idea how they fit.
