Can't someone step in to charge her with child endangerment? I would rather childrens services come in and express how horrible it is rather than just taking the car away. Does she not think the child will get hurt or does she not think she will get in an accident? Her reasoning could explain a little more. If she just thinks she's invincible then, yeah, sounds like shes just dumb. But I don't think people who do these blatantly dangerous things should have kids in the first place.

Sorry if thats harsh. But if she puts that child in danger like that, who knows what else she does to endanger her.
