    I totally agree with the Police on this one. Putting herself alone in jeopardy is her business, but when it affects her child and OTHER PEOPLE–inexcusable.
    No offense to mothers-KEEP YOUR BREAST COVERED.

    some people are just not that smart. If by any means if this “mom” actually cared for her kid, she wouldnt of done what she did.. what happens if the air bag came out then the baby would JUST IGNORANT!!!!!!!!

    I agree with the police on this. There is something wrong with a mother who would endanger their child because they do not want to pull their car over. Not to mention a mother who not only endangered her child by having them out of a car seat but in their lap in the drivers seat as well as being on the phone. I think she should stay in jail for the max amount of time. I have a little one and would never endanger my child like that.

And to all mothers keep breast feeding, just not while driving a car on the phone.

    She’s stated on TV that she can’t deny her child when she’s hungry. How can a dead mother feed a dead child? The kid’s a year old, plenty old to start learning a little patience.
