It really irritates me to see people being so careless especially with kids in the car. I mind my own business though. You never know people's reaction I live in LA people got shot out here for stuff like that. It's not funny!

- There was an accident in the news up here not to long ago where there was a wreck and the lady was holding the baby in her lap. The baby died, but she survived because the baby was essentially her air bag. It made me sick.

this is one of those places where the law and me split.. we both agree that it is Tragic .. and is just a tragedy waiting to happen .. but i in no way agree that my ideas of "good parenting" be forced on others.. if billy joe bob and missy sue want to have 9 kids in the pinto with them.. it is none of my business. .or the Laws.. "buckle up or ticket" is just a fee in the land of the Fee.. if they don't want to live i won't force them.. now if they are swerving on the road .. kids,drunk,bees, i don't care .. that is wrecklessly endangering the rest of the people's life on the road.. unless they are on a private road then they can kill themselves if they want.. sucks to have careless parents ..but it sucks even worse having a tyrannic government hell bent on "security and safety" they'll have everyone in a bubble prison before long ..for our own safety.

hope something/someone runs infront of the car so the parent has to slam on the brakes; that'll sort 'em out ;)

- There was an accident in the news up here not to long ago where there was a wreck and the lady was holding the baby in her lap. The baby died, but she survived because the baby was essentially her air bag. I've called 911 more than once because of that too. I usually mind my own business, but anyone that would do that is obviously very neglectful and stupid.

- You did the right thing. If you tell them that you suspect its a drunk driver, they will get there faster.

I think of this as Darwins theory in motion
no one who's drive can claim ignorance to the benefits of this, so I look at it as population control

Hi Shemarq,
Honestly since they are not my kids I would not get involved, again. I've encountered situations like this where I did get involved (called police) and nothing was done except me getting hassled. I would hope the driver would pull over and regain control of the situation. :)

The baby died, but she survived because the baby was essentially her air bag. I normally stay out of other people's business with their kids, but someone who is stupid enough to do that deserves to be called out on it and have the police have a chat with them.

- I can see why a tragedy like the one you described would surely make me reconsider. :)

Normally, I stay out of other people's business, but when I see someone purposly putting their kids in danger like that, I will call 911.
