I just spoke top my son who is on his way to CA with my ex. He tells me his lying in the back seat of a jeep Liberty and he's NOT strapped in. WTF!!! What kind of idiot moron ***** does not strap her son in. I'm ********** LIVID. I pray nothing happens on the road because she can just tell me that he's strapped in and I wouldn't doubt if she tells him to lie to me about being strapped in. DAMNIT...I feel so GD helpless. AARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG
FT, I'm sorry. I know you're upset, and I would be too considering the situation...Consider reporting this later...
this is the type of stuff that pisses me off too FT. he's 6 years old! he needs to be buckled up, hell EVERYONE needs to be buckled up. you can say you are a safe driver and that you don't get into accidents, but all it takes is one dumba$$ driver to cause a wreck and potentially injure or kill someone. i would report it, because it is worth reporting.
But who do I report it to? They are somewhere near Kingsville. I don't have the plates nor do I have a specific location. DAMNIT!!!
That does suck...problem is, if you call DPS, it's like finding a needle in a haystack...Even if they did find them, he'd be buckled in when they did get pulled over... Ex's suck...
Start documenting it. make a list of everything that doesn't seem right as soon as it happens. when you need proof to do something later you will have your list.
why didn't you tell him to buckle himself in? My kids 4 and 6 both do their own seatbelts every time and even remind me if I start driving before I buckle my belt.
I was driving down the road the other day and saw a minivan with a small child on the drivers lap and another small child on the passengers lap. I was looking around praying I saw a cop so I could have flagged him down and turned their asses in. I was so pissed.
I really feel for you. I've watched a similar situation with my brother and his ex-wife over the past 10 years. She has put their kids in unsafe situations multiple times and their is little he can do about it. Thank god he got custody of the kids.
yea, my cousin is 6 and she buckles herself in. just tell your kid to do the same. if your ex isn't gonna bother, teach your kid to.
I did tell him too, but I know as soon as he gets off the phone, his mother will say not to worry about it.
Sounds like you are still extremely pissed at your ex.... While it is always preferable to have a child in a booster at 6, it isn't something you should FREAK out about. After all, we were the generation who slept sideways in the backseat while the folks drove us home, and had that awesome backseat in the station wagon that was looking backwards towards cars coming right at you.
My son is the same. I had an auto accident 15 years ago and flew out the passenger side window. Fortunately, it was open and I only pulled a ligament. I was very lucky and have worn seatbelts since. They don't bother me at all. With kids, they just need to understand that the car doesn't move until they're buckled in. After a while, they do it by habit. Good luck FT.
Yeah, those were the days...Although, I would think that there were just as many bad accidents back then, you just didn't hear about them as the media outlets back then are no where near where they are today..
dude, settle down. You are just looking for reasons to get mad at your ex. I see where you are coming from, but seriously. Why else ask if he's strapped in unless you are looking for something?
You have no f'in clue so don't tell me to settle down. Maybe I asked if he's trapped in because he was lying down in the back of the car and I wanted to know if he was strapped in while doing that...dude.
Dude Im sorry that sucks...... Time to get on the horn with the EX and rip her ass - that just aint cool.
