You know that one time you thought you buckled your child in their car seat only to realize in horror later you hadn't actually latched the belt, you were on autopilot and somehow forgot that step and you still feel horrible about it? Well, you're fine.
A woman in Florida was arrested after police stopped her for running a red light and discovered that while the case of beer in the passenger side of the car was safely belted in, the sixteen month old girl in the back seat was not.
After finding a couple of metal pipes commonly used for smoking drugs in the driver's purse, she was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, child abuse, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a license.
What I don't understand is why the girl's mother, who was sitting in the back seat with the toddler while her drunk/high friend drove, wasn't charged with anything. Anyone have an idea?

she wasn't driving
but it was HER 18 month old child!
dies parental responsibility end totally as soon as you enter someone elses property?
Glad to see someone getting their priorities right ;-)
it shouldn't Cappy but I presume it must do in this case. I personally feel that parents should ALWAYS assume responsibility
for their children until they reach their majority, then they are on their own.
SHE IS 2 STUPID 2 CHarge?
