Scooters?

[jackie]

The other day I saw a woman riding one with a little girl (maybe 3 or 4 years old) standing on the middle of the scooter between the woman's legs. I was totally appalled that someone would do such a thing. She wasn't on a highway, but she was on a pretty busy road.

Did the kid have a helmet on? I have had scooters and have often seen children riding. Heck, I have even taken a dog on my scooter with me. Just don't see the problem.
