Does anyone happen to know if there is a specific number for reporting unrestrained children in NC? I'm not finding anything on Google, so I sort of assume not, but I figure it's worth asking.
There is a three year old at daycare who leaves every single day completely unrestrained. Her mom has a TrueFit in the car, but she doesn't even attempt to put the kid in it. As a matter of fact, she opens the other side of the car entirely, the kid hops in, she closes the door. Frequently she is hanging out between the two front seats, or sitting with her face pressed against a window when the mom drives away.
I haven't gotten anywhere mentioning it to daycare (I love my daycare, but I think they think it isn't their place to say anything, and mandatory reporter rules don't apply to this). If a good opportunity arises I will try to speak to the mother myself. But there is a language and cultural barrier that I fear will make it difficult to really get my point across. I know many Asian countries do not use seat belts and car seats regularly, but the fact that she has a car seat in the car makes me think she does know the rules.
Do police usually take reports like this seriously? I sort of assume they will just think they have better things to do.
Thanks.
