hy not turn the irresponsible parents in to child protective services.in fact writing tickets for seatbelts (in MO it is $10, IL $75) may hurt the children aswell. if the family is poor $75 is a lot of money, and would take away from providing the necessities to the children such as food and clothing.i do see your point, i just dont think it is the governments buisness to regulate these things.
