It's amazing this baby survived her mother's stupidity...
A California mother was arrested on felony child abuse charges after a viral video showed her 19-month-old child falling from a moving SUV at a busy Fullerton intersection. The Fullerton Police Department said it became aware of the video, which shows a black SUV turning at an intersection when a passenger-side door suddenly opens. A small child then falls out of the vehicle and onto the roadway.
The SUV immediately stops, and a car following behind narrowly avoids colliding with it. The car stops just short of the child on the roadway. The video shows an adult woman running from the driver’s side, picking up the child and placing the toddler back inside the SUV before driving away.
A witness called police on Saturday and provided identifying information about the vehicle. Officers traced the SUV to a home in La Habra, where they located the vehicle, the child and a suspect believed to be the woman seen in the video.
Police identified the child as a 19-month-old who suffered injuries consistent with the fall. The toddler was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and is expected to make a full recovery. The suspect was identified as Jacqueline Hernandez, 35, of La Habra, and the child’s mother. She was arrested and booked into the Fullerton City Jail for felony child abuse.
I was selling Datsuns back in 1976. Woman came in wanted a test drive in one of our wagons. She had a 4 year old kid with her. She wanted to go to a quiet area to drive it cause the showroom was on a busy highway. We strapped the kid into the back seat and were on our way. I made a left hand turn and heard the right rear door open. Kid had unbuckled himself and was halfway out the door. I managed to grab him by the ass and kept him from falling out. She didn't buy the car and I never let another kid into the back without activating the rear door locks.
