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.

Sounds like a good man. Thanks for letting us all know how un-racist you are. Not necessary, but ok. We were clearly puzzled by your choice of words. If you don’t see that, I pity you.

That’s a lot of it. But some are simply just as PC as the Left. You’ll find them applauding as statues to Lee or the Battle Flag are pulled down. Michael Medved, Nikki Haley come to mind. They must find Trump and General Kelly insufficiently progressive.

DeplorableAmerican1776 said that he did a few foolish things growing up, but riding on a roof is dangerous. He said that killjoys took the fun out of childhood...

FR needs its hall monitors checking for proper un-racism. The pity part is an added bonus.

If you think I’m asking your approval I pity you honey

The fact you don’t understand the term our black man from the 1950s or 1960s Deep South says more than you than me

The fact you assume in your smug superiority it’s auto racism is your problem

I’ve lived in north

Manhattan for eight years

Don’t try to lecture me thinking blacks have it better amongst Yankees

That dog don’t hunt

The white Christian world from the Urals westward to Our nation and onwards to Australia is under assault by non whites and you’re still virtue signaling like a brainless rabbit hoping for a group hug

I pity you

You need to get out more

My dad had to haul hay one day and decided instead of making two loads he would just really load up once. Then he became concerned the hay would fall off the truck so he had my sister (who was about 9) ride with the hay and the idea was she would yell if the hay started to fall off so he could stop. The hay and my sister fell off the truck into the road. He was going slow down a dirt road; so no harm done to my sister- but he sure had to answer to my mother about his wonderful plan.

The back of a pick up truck is different than the top of a minivan strapped to the inside of a pool.

When I was a kid, I rode in the back of trucks all the time. It was legal back then.

She thought it was ok because her father ‘let’ her do things like that when she was a kid. smh

This isn’t a news report, it’s the basis for a mini-series.

I wasn’t equating

I don’t think she deserves ten years no parole which is the possible sentence

Or death penalty like freepers often wax over

I’d like to know more context

A rare issue round these parts

Connie Context and her cousin ...Nancy Nuance

Freepers like things meat and taters

My dad used to let us ride on the running boards of a car he had, going down Lemoyne Ave in Biloxi. This was the 70s. No one ever stopped him or pulled him over, or, God forbid, threatened to turn him in to child protective services. We loved it.

And I know exactly about the relationship between a longtime, esteemed black employee of a white family. I saw it a lot in my early years when in Vicksburg, with my daddy’s family. There was a real relationship in many cases beyond just employer/ employee.
