01/15/2004: "Children in danger 'cos of mum?"

music: Katie Melua - Crazy
mood: Relaxed

Not having children - I may be incorrect, but I would of thought that the main instinct of a mother is to look out for the safety of a child ... especially if that child is a small baby or infant - but perhaps I am wrong

Why .... simple really. Whilst out driving this morning an event occured TWICE ... which made me think that some (not all) mothers are brain dead or have no fear of anything even when they have a tiny infant in their arms.

Why do mothers often open doors and let their offspring leave the car into the road instead of using the kerbside?? Lunacy. One of the mothers today had the rear door wide open .... and just lifted the infant from the cot ... really dangerous both to her and the infant ... why didn't she use the kerb side (ie the SAFE) side of the car???

I often see this kind of thing ... mum unlocks the car and little Jonny or Jenny waits in the road until mum allows them in the car !!!

Madness I tell you .... its madness and it happens way too often .... why ???
