Made me so mad! And none of the ferry officials stopped or said anything to them...they didn't stop either to put the baby in a car seat, just got off and onto the main road. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guy-in-a-truck-driving-with-one-arm-baby-in-the-other-arm#post-803462 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:27:13 +0000 mrs. wagon 803462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh :( I'd take down the plate number and call the cops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guy-in-a-truck-driving-with-one-arm-baby-in-the-other-arm#post-803443 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:20:25 +0000 ladyfingers 803443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call the cops.

This guy should not be allowed to parent or drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guy-in-a-truck-driving-with-one-arm-baby-in-the-other-arm#post-803322 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:44:54 +0000 .twist. 803322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is awful. I've never seen that but I have seen kids standing up in the back seat while the vehicle is in motion. Pisses me off. </p> <p>I honestly don't know what I'd do. I like to say that I would try and take a pic and get the license plate and then call the police. However, I'm not sure if that would actually happen if I were in the situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guy-in-a-truck-driving-with-one-arm-baby-in-the-other-arm#post-803315 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:42:32 +0000 mrs. bird 803315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's awful! sadly i frequently see people driving with their infants &amp; toddlers not in carseats. i don't imagine they are unaware that it's required for the safety of their children, i think they just don't care. i know sometimes LOs get cranky in carseats, but i just don't know how you could ever forgive yourself if something happened. i don't call the police, i don't think they'd send someone out for it, but i think if they were going far they'd drive by an officer who'd see (but i live in a very populated area and you don't go far without seeing a police car) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guy-in-a-truck-driving-with-one-arm-baby-in-the-other-arm#post-803306 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:38:49 +0000 rachiecakes 803306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen a child on a lap, but I've seen lots of toddlers/very small children sitting in the front seat or sitting in a car without a seatbelt and it drives me nuts!<br /> God forbid they get into an accident. It's so simple to put on a seatbelt. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guy-in-a-truck-driving-with-one-arm-baby-in-the-other-arm#post-803285 Thu, 23 May 2013 11:32:32 +0000 PBandBaseball 803285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's crazy! I want to say that I'd call the cops but I feel like the chances of them finding this guy would be pretty small. That poor baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guy-in-a-truck-driving-with-one-arm-baby-in-the-other-arm#post-802857 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:14:40 +0000 DillonLion 802857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched him pull out of a parking lot and onto a busy road during rush hour. He had a baby on his lap. </p> <p>What do you do in a situation like that? Call the cops? Follow him? I assume he knew what he was doing was wrong, so it wasn't like I was going to enlighten him on the situation. </p>
