Does anyone know who you call to report things like kids not buckled in properly? Is there a safekids number or just the local police? I didn't want to dial 911, or should I have?
My husband and I were driving to the store yesterday and I see this car in front of us at the red light and it looked like the one guy in the back had 2 heads at 1st and I kept wondering if he had a dog in his lap or something because I could see the shadow of a second head when he moved. We turn and end up next to them after the light changes.....its a KID...no more than 3 years old...sitting in a teenagers lap in the back seat!!
2 teenage girls in the front, a teenage boy in the middle back seat, an infant seat (thank goodness the baby was in a seat, though I'm not sure it was in right) and then a little boy sitting on the guys lap! Seriously, there was an extra seat next to the guy, would it have been so hard to put the kid a car seat in the extra seat?! Or at least put him in the extra seat!? I know that still wouldn't have been safe but on someone's lap without even a seat belt!!
I wanted so bad to call on them because we could easily get their plate number but I didn't even know who to call, I don't know the non-emergency number for my police department and wasn't sure if it warranted a 911 call... even though technically I consider endangering a child's life to be an emergency.
