Good I hope she learns a hard lesson. She is lucky her baby survived this incident SMH. That intersection has a lot of accidents so she is lucky those cars were paying attention and stopped 💯

I’ve done a lot of stupid things as a mom, but losing a kid during a U-turn is not one of them.

Why in the heck was it riding in the front seat. Mother needs to be charged with negligence

That was way too close.
How is that child not safely in their car seat? Insane. Glad they will be ok.

All I see is an angel stepped in front of that car and stopped it just in time.

What the actual fuck?!?! I can’t even form words except I hope that baby is okay and is taken care of by someone that cares for it. That piece of shit DOES NOT care!

Why dafuq was the baby in the front seat? 🤦♂️ Probably got a hold of the car for handle and pulled it while she turned and he flew out. 35 years old and not knowing to put the child in the bank with child lock on door is insane. Unfit mother there
