Mother Ties Son To Roof Of Car In Attempt To Secure Plastic Pool
WIBA-AM ^ | 11-1-17 | Bill Galluccio

A 28-year-old mother from Wisconsin is facing felony charges after she decided to strap her nine-year-old son to the roof of her minivan. According to Fox 6, Amber Schmunk had just bought a plastic pool and did not think it would fit inside her vehicle. Instead of getting rope and tying it down, she thought it would be a good idea to strap her son to the roof to hold the pool down.

Concerned motorists called police, who tracked the woman down at her sister's house. She told police that "she believed it was OK as her father let her do things like that when she was that age." Police didn't buy that excuse and arrested her, charging her with second degree recklessly endangering safety, which is a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

It depends on how rural and if dirt roads etc

My kids ride in the back of our pickups off interstate and we’re semi rural

They also ride running board up our 400 yard dirt driveway

Boys

I don’t think she deserves jail time unless she drove down the hwy at 70 like that

It is a dumb idea

Me and our dogs rode the 100 miles to deer camp in the back of the truck

Imagine

Our black man James who was my hunting companion instructor when I was young rode up front with dad

I’d cuddle with th dogs behind the cab when it was cold

Hwy 80

Clickety clack expansion joints on concrete hwy

I’m hoping that’s an auto-correct goof, but I can’t think what the right word could be.

Back of a truck would a lot better than tied to the roof - just ask Romney’s dog!

What she did is very, very, different than what you are doing.

She put her son on a huge sale and then drove down the road. People have been killed holding down mattresses, sheets of plywood, and all sorts of stuff as the car catches the wind and the people on the roof just sail off into the ditch or into another vehicle. She’s darn lucky

All these cellphone cameras around and there’s no video of this minor indiscretion?

ANd aren’t smart enough to remain silent when talking to police without counsel present.
