After work today I stopped by Food Basics downtown. As I was heading to my car, I saw a man loading groceries in the back of his work van. He had a toddler in the cart, and another child about 4 or 5 in the front passenger seat of the van. I looked in the van and saw there were only two seats and then a cage separating the front seats from the back of the van. There were No other seats in the van. I sat and watched as he put the toddler in the front of the van, standing in between the seats. Then he closed up the back doors got in and drove away. What were you thinking. I understand that may be your only way to get your groceries, using that business van, and I bet you do that quite regularly as those two children looked quite used to travelling that way in that van. I called the police and reported you, and provided the licence number, a full description of the van, you and your two children. I will also be contacting that business advertised on that van and lodging a complaint against you.
Please people, only bring children along with you if you have the proper and safe car seats. Children are wayyyyyyyyy to precious to take such chances. If you were involved in a collision, what do you think would happen to those babies??????? Chance your own life if you must, but dont chance someone elses, let alone your trusting and loving children. They depend on you to keep them safe....I didnt approach the man as I was alone and unsure of his reaction towards me. If I was a younger person I most certainly would have approached him.
