http://i3.mirror.co.uk/incoming/arti...k-of-a-car.jpg A young girl sits in a DOG CAGE in the back of a pickup truck. Police were alerted by stunned motorists in western Pennsylvaniam on Monday night. The girl, aged 10, was later found unharmed. Her mother, 29-year-old Abbey Carlson, and stepfather, Thomas Fishinger, 30, are now facing charges of endangering the welfare of a child. Fishinger told police they had been driving home from his mother's house. Police said they told them the girl had said she wanted to be with the dog. |
lol girl in a cage, and she wanted that, and they accepted
|
Facepalm.
|
As long as she had plenty of water I don't see what the problem is.
|
errr......

'Police said they told them the girl had said she wanted to be with the dog.'
my daughter would have done this when she was 10, in fact when her dog was dying she slept out in the back yard with the dog... luckily none of you assholes saw that had her taken by child protective services $.02 |
Just because your kid wants something doesn't mean you should do it, if it's risky. Whether this was risky is another question. Probably isn't, statistically speaking, and far more dangerous things happen around the world every day without incident, but it's still pretty dumb to put a kid in a dog cage on the back of a truck. They shouldn't get anything more than a slap on the wrist about it though.

not really seeing what the issue is here. Yes I know there are seat belt laws etc. But when some of us were kids, riding in the back of a pickup truck was normal, and also fun. We also used to sit in the back of station wagons (without seat belts) lay on the shelf in the back window, sit in the front seat on our parent's lap, played with lawn darts etc.
It's just too bad that we have all been bubble wrapped for our own protection, and that unfortunately draws some of the fun out of life. |

According to state law it was illegal only because she was under 18. If you think about it the cage part was safer than if she was sitting lose and might fly/fall out of the bed.
"Twenty states have no laws prohibiting riders in the back of pickup trucks. Not surprisingly, most of these states contain substantial rural areas where pickup trucks are needed for work uses." "The following states allow back riders older than age 18; Florida, Georgia, Maine (older than age 19), Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania" http://www.attorneys.com/traffic-tic...k-of-a-pickup/ . |
had she just been sitting in the back i doubt anyone would of cared that much. since she was in a cage it could be some kind of abuse situation which if it were and no one cared enough to call, would be horrible.

I'm in a little town outside Lexington Ky right now. When I go on my afternoon walk I'll be surprised if I DON'T see someone in the back of a pickup truck. What's the big deal? The fact she was in a tied down cage? Or the fact she was in the truck bed?
I guess the politically correct thing would be for her to be in a 3 point harness in the back seat of a Prius while her parents listened to NPR …… . |
OK so I won't say it wasn't poor judgement to allow it, but I will for certain say that calling in child protective services is utter nonsense.
Police: You know you shouldn't do that, right? Parent: Yes officer. We won't let it happen again. Police: Alright we don't need to take this any further. Parent: Thank you, officer. And that's how it should be handled. It would not surprise me in the least though if they took the child away forever the way we're all insane for "zero tolerance" in this weird place. Oops, I mean we're number one! Woot! :thumbsup |
That reporter sounds like he's running for Jesus. Mister high and mighty there.
