Safety first…or not?
It astounds me how some parents can be so protective over their children over most things…
“Don’t do that!”
“Don’t touch this or else…!”
“No, you can’t go there”
But when it comes to safety in a vehicle (e.g. cars), it’s like their common sense has flown out the window.
There’s been countless times where I have seen young children playing about in a moving car — standing on the car seat, lying on the back dashboard (is that what it’s called?) — and not strapped in securely to the car seat.
And this evening on the way back from class, I saw this minivan, and this little girl of about 6-8 years old, with half her body stuck out of the sunroof! I’m like, hello?! What are the parents or the adults in the vehicle thinking of?! Are they even THINKING?! Can you imagine what would happen if the driver had to pull the emergency brakes or if another vehicle hits the minivan from behind??? The poor kid would go flying out of the sunroof!
Seriously, moving vehicles are dangerous for children who are not strapped in securely to the seats. So please, please strap your young kids securely to the seat when they are in the car.
I shall let my family and friends tell you about me. These comments may be rather old but I think the gist of them still hold
