We have laws against using cell phones while driving. We also have laws that everyone uses a seatbelt & babies under a certain age must be in an approved Baby capsule & restrained by seat belts. And not forgetting the other laws against child abuse, including in certain cases compulsary reporting of abuse. A child in danger (moral or physical) can be removed from the parent/caregiver.

Poor little kid - what kind of a life will it have (if it survives further car trips) & house arrest - will it be a Master or a slave?
