FULL TITLE: Teen mom drove with 5-month-old baby in trunk to avoid getting ticketed for not having a car seat
A young mother was arrested early Tuesday after she put her 5-month-old baby into the trunk of her car, to avoid getting a ticket for not driving with a car seat.
Broward County, Florida sheriff's deputies first spotted 19-year-old Breona Synclair Watkins driving a car with a headlight out around 1am, when she pulled out 15 feet into an intersection at a red light, and then backed up.
They then attempted to pull her over, but she continued through the green light and another quarter-mile before coming to a stop.
The 14-year-old sitting in the passenger seat said the 2005 Dodge Stratis belong to her mother.
When another deputy showed up and heard crying from the trunk, so they opened it up and found Watkins' 5-month-old laying on a pair of large hedge-cutting shears.

WOW! There are places that will GIVE you a car seat if you are unable to afford one.
Yeah, but do you know how much you can get for a car seat on Craigslist or if you sell it at the flea market?
Safety first!
Guess what Obama’s next freebie will be.
Where’s the dad? LOL, JK!!
That's not pocket change to a lot of people who have no choice but to drive with the kids or leave them alone at home.
More criminalization of the working class by imposing yuppie preferences on the whole society.
Nice cushion for the hedge trimmers. /s
They give them away free here if you can’t afford one.
what is a 14 and 19 year old doing out at 1am..
Breona Synclair Watkins could be Michelle’s sister !!!
Darwin at work.
Stupid baby...
...could have used the hedge trimmers to cut through the cushioning and upholstery of the back seat and get in to the passenger compartment...
Let me guess: Probably trying to conceive their next government revenue stream.
Geez louise - didn't you even read the article?
