What's usual result when a child is not restrained in a car? I'm NOT leaving the kids out of this

[seemslikeadream]

for the lesser of us?

Are we let off because we can not talk about the children?



Palin uses her children recklessly and should be exposed

[tularetom]

1. She grows up to shoot a moose?

[notadmblnd]

A very hefty fine if one is pulled over for it, possible death if an accident results

a baby could go flying from the arms of it's mother and slam into a windshield or dash board. I don't imagine that they would have to be traveling at very high speeds to occur.

[IntravenousDemilo]

2. Probably a smack from mom and a "Pipe down, we're almost home!" n/m

[ensho]

6. my kids rode cars before the advent of seat belts so my law was

no fighting or jumping around. or my right hand would find itself swatting whatever it found in the backseat.

[Warpy]

14. I honestly don't know how suburban moms managed to survive

the 50s with any part of their sanity intact. There were no seatbelts even as options until the 60s, and kids didn't respect the fact that they were shooting 60 miles an hour down a highway in a fragile tin can. We used to bounce all over those cars.

[lonestarnot]

18. Yeah, so I was one of the kids of which you speak. That hand makes

a me. Not so good, just saying. :P

[LisaL]

3. Would CPS be investigating? I dunno.

[ensho]

4. agree, the neo cons are using the kids which makes them fair game

nt

[seemslikeadream]

5. I don't remember cries to leave the child out of it

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. I was told on DU yesterday and today to leave the kids out of it. No. No more playing "nice".

[seemslikeadream]

9. Palin NEEDS some schooling on how to responsibly take care of her children

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. She placed Trig in danger at least twice that we know of now.

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. What was the second time she placed Trig in danger?

I know the first one: Palin choosing to return to AK to give birth to Trig

What is the second time?

on edit:
Found it, thanks to the Google and DU postings there :hi:

15. lol! Glad you found it! It's also the subject of this thread!

:hi:

BTW...I was contemplating adding to my sig line "My doctor broke my water to Hasten delivery!"

[nc4bo]

11. Death, dismemberment, brain damage.. but hey, Britney Spears did it

but she's a drug addicted, mavericky ROCK, err POP STAR who enjoys sharing her vaginal world views with the world, too.

So of course our expectations for Spears are very low.

Geez, all this sounds familiar.

[Peregrine Took]

12. I heard yesterday that you can further endanger a Down Syndrome baby

by not providing top pre-natal care for him or her.

That is, by flying for 7 hours after your water broke and then by not giving birth at a top hospital and, instead, at some podunk CLINIC in the middle of nowhere (with or without a "bridge.)

[seemslikeadream]

13. A-B-S-O-L-U-T-L-Y

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. I'm surpised the narative doesn't read that once she reached Wasilla to give birth,

the medical team wasn't there, so she had to deliver the baby herself and cut the umbilical cord with her teeth!

[seemslikeadream]

17. Being Gov. and all you'd think she'd have some pull and have an ambulance waiting for her

I SURE WOULD

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. And it is for little things like that which make question

if she is Trig's Mom in the first place.

[seemslikeadream]

20. That motherly instinct?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. Mother hamsters eat their young.

[seemslikeadream]

22. I believe Ms. Palin has been taking lessons from hamsters

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. It seems so, doesn't it?

[Igel]

24. Depends how fast you're going.

If you're holding the baby in your arms and going on a highway at 60, then run into something ... splat!

Driving around a correctional facility at 10-15 mph, even 20 mph, crashes are going to be a lot less of a problem, and if you're strapped there's not likely to be a big problem even if there is a crash. I'm making an assumption here: That the facility wasn't so large or open that they reached above 25 mph. Since it was a tour, I'm not sure my assumption's unwarranted. Everybody else's assumption seems to be the opposite, or just ignores where the incident took place. Dunno. In an absence of fact, all you have is assumption.

We shuffle cars on the campus my wife works at; she has one parking spot close to her office (well, sort of close), and if I go to campus with the tyke I park in the overflow lot in Outer Mongolia. If she comes home at the same time, we go to her car, I ride as passenger holding son, and we drive to the distant lot. At no point are we on roads that police can issue a ticket for, and the speed limit's low.

Yes, it's less safe than walking through the parking lots, I guess, but it's faster, and that counts for something when a kid is hungry, has to pee, or we're too tired to carry him.
