But when a person's foolish decision endangers another, especially another whose well being is totally dependent on that person, then yes, you can require that he or she do the right thing.

And she endangers not only herself and her child, but also any other road users.

No I CAN'T. I also don't want that responsibility either. It is none of my business, as you say, and none of my expertise. My expertise is in what is put there in the car for use.

But I will still say it is completely IRRESPONSIBLE for any parent to put a child in a car unrestrained. The test results and crash results for the last 30 years speak for themselves, in that it is madness not to wear belts or restrain a child. 😉

It is irresponsible, I agree.

Unfortunately, there is not test to measure responsibility before you are allowed to have children.

Good example...but again...there is no test and you can't stop even this woman from making the decisions that she made, or her doctor made.

Police say the woman faces up to 180 days in jail and a $1,800 fine if convicted.

I saw a family of five riding on a scooter in Jakarta at night in very busy traffic (five was the most I saw, and four was very common). Americans don't have a corner on "crazy".

s. america was the same, there was a little jungle town in peru where scooters were the no. 1 choice of transport, i never saw 5 people i don't think but 4 was very common also. a couple of times i saw tow riding side by side with the two back seat passengers carrying something between them.
