Horrifed and in tears ~ family drive off holding a 4/5month old baby, no car seat

[ladybird11]

I'd be inclined to think the car is unregistered, or stolen, as the plates didn't match the description of the vehicle.

It makes me sick to think that innocent babies lives are put at risk when idiotic parents make foolish decisions. You need a licence to drive a car - but not to have a baby, seems wrong to me.

Good chance it was unrego'd & dad/driver probably had no license too
I used to see this all the time out west. It irritated me more when the parents strapped themselves in, but couldn't be bothered with the kids. Pathetic.
I did have a friend get in a car nursing her 2yo DS. If I could've offered a seat I would've, but couldn't. I just said that if she needed to do that its better to have him out of the seatbelt on her lap & hold him, than in the seatbelt on her lap.
There is no excuse, but I no she would never do it on a highway, or in a busy town.

Some people just don't get it.
