Yup, she’s Amish

I don’t see the problem. Didn’t all the beer cans keep the stroller from rolling around in the bed?

Oh my

Whithout looking up the nationalities of the parties involved, I will say this sounds like rednecks from the trailer park.

But stupidity reaches out to all races.

And one more thought: Thnking how 30 years ago, this would not have been that unusual.

For purposes of rendering a verdict:

A Florida babysitter was arrested yesterday for felony child neglect after she loaded a stroller containing an eight-month-old boy into the back of a Dodge Ram pickup truck which then drove around on two of the area’s busiest roadways, police charge.

This is ridiculous. Shoulda waited till the kid was at least 3. He’da enjoyed the ride a helluva lot more!

“Mr. B. White”

That's racist!

[VRWCmember]

The driver of the 1994 truck was identified in an arrest affidavit as “Mr. B. White,” who was cited for reckless driving.

Given the name of his accomplice, I'm guessing that the driver's name should be Mr. Not B. White.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

A couple thoughts on this:

First, there doesn’t need to be a race angle on this. There are plenty of stupid white parents out there. We just had an article last week about the British pregnant girl who didn’t see anything wrong with drinking and partying every night while pregnant.

Second, I’m not excusing the behaviour but 30 years ago people put young kids in the backs of pick up trucks and drove around all the time. Not infants but 6, 7 year olds. Times have changed.

Finally, I like the comment after the article about how they call this a “ghetto coaster”.

Did she at least use bungee chords?

Davis is locked up in the Volusia County jail in lieu of $5000 bond. Records show that her rap sheet includes busts for car theft, cocaine possession, shoplifting, resisting arrest, criminal mischief/property damage, and fleeing law enforcement.

Guess she won't make angieslist.com now...

Quite a big mis-judgement, but a felony?!?!

[Energizer45678]

Why she didnt just hook the stroller to the trailer hitch with a rope and tow it (like most normal folks would) I’ll never know!!

[blueunicorn6]

Hey! Go easy on her. She thought the baby had a 100,000 mile warranty, too.

While I was a bit older than 8 months, I can remember riding in the bed of a pick-up truck with other kids, none of us “secured”
