Was that beer in a rear facing car seat?
Wow. I am amazed almost daily at the amount of parents who don’t buckle their child in. I wish I had the power to call them in for a ticket. That would be awesome…they get a citation in the mail that starts…”Dear stupid breeder”.
Now, honestly I didn’t wear a seat belt regularly until I was 10 or 12, and the worse that happened to me was a broken jaw and a scar on my forhead. I mean, that was back in the 70’s and 80’s when children were tougher…I guess. But now, we know better.
But this kills me…I hope that was some good beer. Just another pet peeve of mine.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Police have arrested a motorist they say had a 24-pack of beer strapped in with a seat belt but had a 16-month-old girl unrestrained in the back seat with the toddler’s mother.
Tina D. Williams was pulled over in St. Augustine on Sunday for allegedly running a red light.
A 24-pack of Busch beer was strapped in with the passenger-side seat belt, according to an arrest report. The girl was in the back seat with 20-year-old Amber Tedrick, who is the toddler’s mother.
Williams, 46, said she didn’t know why the child wasn’t restrained.
Williams refused to take a breath test and a deputy found two metal pipes commonly used to smoke drugs in her purse, authorities said.
Williams was charged with driving under the influence, child abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a license, a jail official said. She remained in the St. Johns County jail Tuesday after bail was set at $31,000.
The jail did not have the name of her attorney. It was not clear if Tedrick would face any charges, but the child was released to her care, according to The Florida Times-Union.

[...] Octo-mom by Bryan Comer I haven’t commented on the case of Ms. Nadya Suleman yet, the mother who just had octuplets. I always feel like a person has the right to do with her body what she chooses. I feel a little hypocritical judging someone how chooses to have a gaggle of babies but not someone who chooses abortion…but after seeing the interview with octopussy mom, I will make an exception. Call it another pet peeve. [...]
