Missouri has designated the week of September 19th through the 25th as Child Passenger Safety Week. Law enforcement officers will be paying close attention this week to insure that child restraints are being properly used. Car crashes are the leading cause of death in children ages one through fourteen.
If you are caught driving with a child who is not properly restrained, you get a ticket and you will lose two points off of your license. If you are pulled over for other offenses such as speeding or other traffic violations and a child is not properly restrained you will likely face charges of child endangerment as well as the normal fines for the traffic violations.
