kids bicycle safety image

I know buses are exempt from this law but are police cars also exempt? I don't think they should be because they get in accidents too and the kids aren't using the seatbelts as weapons. Oh, why don't they have to buckle their prisoners in either?
An officer transported my 3 year old to the station without using a carseat. My 15 year old offered to get the carseat out of my car to use but the officer said, "No, it'll be OK." Why isn't his actions considered child abuse because it threatened the life of a child! Can i sue for child endangerment?
Answer
We do buckle bad guys in. Our wagons don't have belts but safety padded bars that comes across the seated prisoners.
It is judged more effective than seat belts.
If an officer needs children transported in a non emergency situation they call for a sergeant.
In my city each sergeant has at least one child's car seat in the trunk. The sergeants cars are picked because they do not have cages.
Each sergeant has specific training, 4 hours worth, on the correct method of placing the two types of car seats we use in all of the types of vehicles sergeants use (not the bicycles).
All youth investigators have unmarked, uncaged cars and they get the same training as the sergeants. They do a lot of child transport during investigations.
Mounting a child's car seat correctly is complicated. Very very few parents take the time to find a approved instructor to learn.
In my city every firehouse has at least one trained instructor working days for the public to take a class in mounting a car seat.

to ride i mean, my neighbors were yelling at my kids to not ride their bikes on the sidewalk but i cant have them in the street when everyone around here drives like idiots.
Answer
You are right.. your kids should not be in the street, where there is dangerous drivers.
The other side of the coin is that ALL persons have the right to safety in public, not just the kids. Your kids might not be the type to do this.. but many of us have seen kids who are completely out of control, and WILL physically hurt persons on sidewalks, by the way which they use it. Same for kids on skateboards. Some are decent, and have respect for others, while others don't care who gets hurt or forced to get out of their way.
I have (now grown) kids...and I realize one thing about us parents. We would LOVE to say "my kid is not the problem". There were times when I had to admit.. my kid was the problem. It boils down to compromises and seeing all sides of a coin.
For that reason.. some cities and towns now prohibit bikes or skateboards on sidewalks. Like you.. I wish it was the old days, when kids could ride almost anywhere, and everyone involved was safe.
