I was climbing over the seat at 70 mph when I was a kid, I'm still here.

Informing the authorities would be the proper thing to do. I don't really expect the two-year old to know any better and not so much from the five-year old, but I DO EXPECT the parent/guardian/whoever is driving the vehicle to be responsible enough to properly restrain the kids.

It's beyond amazing we survived as long as we have without the state dictating how we need to protect ourselves. I'm not against seat belts or strapping kid in, but.... a seat belt is no guarantee of anything. |

If you were driving in a 40mph zone and saw a car with a 2 year old and 5 year old unrestrained in the front seat, would you call the cops or just let Darwinism run its course? No seat belt or anything and climbing all over the front seat at 40 mph. Wow. I hope someone calls the cops on you for something stupid as well. Next time you reach into your wallet and your shirt shows your CCW, I hope some busybody soccer mom calls the cops for a man with a gun. |

Tough call.......I normally hate busy bodies but this isn't a "Darwin" type of situation.
That scenario involves someone placing themselves in harms way and in those whatever happens is good Karma. This is a situation involving children who do not know or understand the risks they are being exposed to and it's the job of the adult in the car to do their best to safeguard the health and welfare of the children. It's really no different than failing to call CPS when you know for certain a child is not being fed or sheltered properly. It's the responsibility of a childs parents to protect their children but when they fail or actively risk that childs health it is society and it's members that need to step up and take over. But only when it can be proven that the childs is at real risk. |

No. If they have your kids in their car, you can damn well tell them the kids have to be strapped in. If not, not.

Nope.. about the only thing I'll call in is obvious drunks being reckless.. crossing center line with oncoming traffic etc.
Some people here probably wont agree, but I'd hate to see someone get killed due to a drunk driver. Members of my family have been in a collision with a drunk driver, fortunately they were not injured |

I was coming home from Conn one day and saw an old station wagon pass me at about 90mph with a baby laying on the dash. I called and was told that it wasn't an emergency. Have a nice day!
So no I wouldn't bother. |

Anything can be justified "for the children". This is how we got the ogre of medicaid for < 18. There's also the flip-side: The first time I called in a case of suspected child abuse it was all but blown off. If I'm going to stick my neck out for some stranger's kid, you had better fucking take it seriously. Never again. |

While I want my kid to wear a helmet (he's still using a tricycle so he doesn't have one yet ), I'm perfectly comfortable in not forcing other people to make their kids wear a helmet. But I don't want to pay for the kids brain surgery either if he falls on his head.
