Only moms can kill their kids and not be charged. Nobody else can get away with it.
I was in a store and a new mother had they baby’s car seat perched atop the front seat like that. I told her she really needed to put the baby in the actual cart for safety. She did, but you tell she thought I was nuts. Some people just do not think about repercussions.
Also the story says the car seat was “balanced” on the top of the cart, not “attached” or “secured” to the cart. She just put the car seat on top of the cart without securing it. Just as in the car, the car seat doesn’t do much if it isn’t strapped down and secured from flying around inside the car.
It doesn’t sound like her precious cargo was really regarded as being that precious at all. Why would you not make sure?
Horrible tragedy.....this mom has to live, if she can, with the guilt of this accident the rest of her life.....note to self.....don’t be afraid to speak up if we can prevent a potential accident.....prayers for all who loved this child......
I learned never to let kids stand up in a shopping cart.
Ooh, I did this a few times with my baby. So glad I have switched to wearing her in a pouch now when shopping. Scary. Prayers up for that mom. Some car seats kind of snap in and some really just hover there. You have to keep your hand on it at all times. Better get some form of baby carrier and wear your baby.
