Video of a mum driving with a child unrestrained in front seat sparks outrage

We know many members are parents and grandparents.
Part of that role is the responsibility to keep little ones safe at all times. We need to make sure that they are free of danger when they are playing, whether it be outside or inside the house.
Even now that they are adults, we're still concerned about their welfare and we often make sure that we update ourselves on their whereabouts.
Keeping this in mind, many social media users were left shocked after a clip showing a toddler unrestrained in the front passenger seat of a car speeding on a highway surfaced online.
The video also featured a woman, presumably, the mum, who was driving a Hyundai i20 and was allegedly not attempting to control the movements of the young girl.
The person who uploaded the video on TikTok claimed to have captured it while seated in the passenger side of another moving vehicle on the highway.
The caption, which included the hashtag #momoftheyear, read: 'No seat belt on the child in the front wtf [what the f***].'

Many users noted that the child was sitting forward in her seat that was close enough to lean on the dashboard — a position that could be fatal for the girl if the car is caught up in an accident.
One user wrote: 'Even if she brakes a little suddenly that kid’s going to smack her face in the dash. How could she put her at risk like this?'
However, several people hypothesised that the youngster might have unbuckled herself from the vehicle seat, rendering the driver helpless to keep her in the seat until she could find a secure location to pull over.
The video has since then been deleted from the social media platform.
While we do not know the side of the woman in the clip, we still recommend ensuring that your grandkids are buckled up properly whenever they hit the road with you or their parents. After all, we never know when accidents can happen.
Do you have a grandkid? If so, have you ever taken them on a road trip? What was your experience like? Do you have any tips that you would recommend to those who are looking to keep their grandkids safe while driving? Please tell us about it in the comments.
