Why are people stupid enough to drive with their infants in their lap?

Question

I was driving. I see man driving with his infant on his lap. You know, britney spears style. His wife/girlfriend/baby momma is in the passenger seat. black mustang convertible, top not down. I honk and he speeds up. Called police and the cops comes blaring up the road passing us...going in the wrong direction. I continue to follow the guy, he parks in my freaking apartment complex. I just wanna know why people do that to their children?????

Answer 1

What in the world did we do before the government told us how to think??  The seat belt laws didn't go into effect until I was 12 years old.  Child safety laws were passed while I was a teenager.  Guess what:  Everyone my age and older survived.  I guess everyone's grandparents were horrible, abusive parents.  Thank God we can't raise our kids on our own anymore...

Answer 2

That was an immature act that could have had serious ramifications.  

Parenting is still a virtue, isn't it?

Answer 3

In my country this is a criminal offence  -  report it  !

Answer 4

Some people are morons.

Well said!!

Answer 5

IF THE PARENTS KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING THAT FAR, THEY SOMETIMES LET THE KIDS "DRIVE"...KIDS LOVE IT! DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE A BAD PARENT, OBVIOUSLY GONNA BE EXTRA EXTRA CAREFUL

Answer 6

Some people are morons. I hope that kid makes it through his childhood!

And those people who are saying that you were wrong should check how many people, and infants died from grievous injuries before seat belt laws went into effect. The car stops short and the baby goes into the dashboard = head injury and likely death. An adult can choose to be an idiot and go through a windshield, the baby doesn't really get to choose. It's the same as people leaving children in hot cars = dead kids. There is a REASON for these laws people, it's not the 'man" telling you what to do.

You did the right thing by the way.

Answer 7

Let them get caught and face child endangerment charges along with neglect. You can always video tape it and have the police review the tape.That is if there willing to.

The poor kid is in danger of getting a serious ear infection from the wind.To say the least.

Answer 8

Get off your high horse and let people raise their own children!!!!!!!!!  

Did their children die?  no!  

What did people do before carseats!! I can't belive humanity survived!

Edit:  

All you haters... we didn't have car seats 30 years ago... and I'm still here.  We love our kids but god we act so stupid about them.  Bad things happen in life, regardless if there is a carseat or not.  What if a parent rolled their car or drove into a river or lake, a child in a car seat would drown.  Nothing is perfect.  Get off your d**n high horse!!!!!

Answer 9

Stupidity and maybe they want to take their children with them because people thrown from vehicles are 25 times more likely to die.
