I had just left the NICU at the WCH, where I had seen all of the care, effort and energy that goes into saving beutiful precious little babies.....

only to get to the service station and get petrol, there was a family, mother and father with their daughter and I asume her little boy, approximately 4-5 months old. I was looking at the car when I was filling it and I didn't see any car seat straps in the back, there were wraps over both back windows... the daughter/mother got back in the car holding the baby, she stayed sitting upright, with babe in her arms, I finished filling and walked as close to their car as possible looking through the back window, there was no car seat or capsule I went back to my car to pretend to get something and wrote down their nubmer plate, watch which direction they drove. Had to go and pay for my petrol, so ran in and out and jumped in my car and drove off dialing the police using my car kit.

I gave them the number plate, details of the car, colour type etc, the number plate didn't match the car, so they alerted the patrols int he area to keep a lookout.

There was nothing more I could do as I never saw them again (I went up the same road), I was crying, I felt like I was going to be ill. How could they, I was soooo angry and hurt, that poor innocent little baby, I can't get him out of my head.

It was just horrible
