1)Your child can choke
2)Your child can be kidnapped or taken while your car is stolen
3)Your child can put the car in gear and roll into traffic or a lake or a wall with no seatbelt
4)Your child can get out of the car and wander off
These are just off the top of my head. The first two apply to even infants.
All of thse could happen when a parent is with their child. I think the thing here is, we all know she's a f**king mong when it comes to kids, but she's learning. When i was a bairn, i fell out of trees, smashed my face on the radiator and numerous other things. Sometimes my mam was there sometimes not. Sometimes stuff happens, and other times it doesnt.
I know the mother done wrong, cos it was out in public with gods knows who's about, but also dont forget the police went way too far, and that is a sign of things to come, and more and more the offences will be unjustified for that kind of action.

Exactly. Stupid decision from a country hailed as so genius. And we in the West are not far behind when we entertain these calls for forced sterilization or parenting licenses. It's all fine and good until someone disagrees with YOUR right to reproduce.

On one hand, mom's an idiot and should be tasered for leaving an infant, alone, in a (presumably) highly-commercial, highly-trafficked area.
On the other hand, wtf was she tasered for? She's all of 19 years old! Tasers are supposed to help the police subdue suspects that they cannot physically subdue themselves, right? And this cop couldn't subdue a teenager using his own bare hands? Why is he in law enforcement if a teenage girl can physically match him? On that note, I hate tasers, anyway -- if the situation isn't serious enough to warrant the use of your gun, then you probably don't need a taser, either. It's a very painful, very serious weapon used incorrectly by lazy (and too often, power-tripping) cops.
And to the idiot who said the mom should be subject to a home invasion, drug tests and losing any governmental assistance because she put down $7 for one whole tanning session -- you're a bigger part of the problem than she is.
