Broward Sheriff’s deputies say they tried to pull over a vehicle on Tuesday but Breona Watkins kept driving. When she stopped, the deputy heard a baby crying in the trunk.
Deputies say Watkins told them she asked her 14-year-old passenger to slide the baby into the trunk through a back seat panel because she didn’t want to get ticketed for not having a car seat.

This completely irresponsible act illustrates just how far American morality and responsibility has fallen. 50 years ago people were poor and lacked education, but the overwhelming majority were morally responsible, had self-respect, and were still believers in the “pursuit of happiness.”
For so many, entitlements and benefits seem to have replaced individual responsibility, the moral fabric of America has been broken, demeaned, discouraged and ridiculed by those who desire a “fundamental transformation” from America’s founding principles to a “new” society of managed, controlled and “maintained” serfs.
It has resulted in an American disaster.
What do you think about people who would put their baby in a trunk to avoid a car seat violation? What does this say, if anything, about the moral fabric of America?

Carmino says
Our country is Broken. My Italian pop came here in 1928. Never made over $2.59 a hour. Left my pop $483k kissed the ground of America and always “this is the greatest country AMERICA, Camino. Get to work and you will have easy life.
If you don’t hit easy money in NBA,Singing or on Web hits then they want hand outs. It’s lazy jealous and stupidity
My parents would never ALLOW me to collect aid. To collect welfare SNAP and HUD for kids out of wedlock is insulting. It’s for the lazy mom. The kids have no shot in life and if you are this way your kids find it acceptable to be a waste of life. My parents drilled into me. You have kids to give them a better opportunity then you had. That’s the foundation of every decision
It’s easy 3 things and 3 generation to wealth.
1-live at hone until you save 5% down payment on hone for first time buyer and find a mate that did the same.
2- Never Have kids before you do 1 and are married and save 25k at least
3- Marry a mate that did and believes 1 and 2. If you both work even McDonald’s 18 to 62 you will have a million net worth. It’s that simple. So idiots can be successful.
