If a relative caught you making a mistake while driving, would you be grateful to them if they called the police? If you were arrested and your car taken away, would it tell you they cared about your welfare and safety?
I know the laws are the laws, but what if she really needed to go somewhere? Would the child be any safer if she would have left the child home alone? There are laws against that too.
It would be nice if a relative could stand up and take that girl to get her driver's license. Depending on the cost, maybe you or a group of relatives can get together and buy her a nice carseat for the child.
She's clearly not a responsible person. It's kind of sad when people like this take on the responsibility of another life. For her child's sake, I hope she can become responsible soon. Is there any way she can get into a parenting class?

yes i understand that getting the police involved was not best but after a year of ppl telling ther its wrong and her mother doing it also i think something more than being told needed to be done
several relatives and friends and work colouges of the parents did tell therm both that itys not right and dangerous
she can leave child with her mopther as her mother oinly lives a few hopuses away and doctors and supermarkets are in walking distance and the bus service is good were she lives
i dont know much about the way she was brought up as her mum and my brother divorced before he passed away, and her mum remarried while she was still young
i only found out were she was living when she started working were my brother in law works, and when they became a item i still didnt have a lot to do with them but she does with other members of my husbands family and as far as they have said they all have said about it but they sit back and let her get on with it
