A mother faces prosecution in Minnesota because her child's car seat fell out of the car on the road.

Punishing parents for mistakes is stupid as well as unjust. The accusation itself causes stress to the family, which harms the children as well as the parents.

This is part of the overall US pattern of pressuring parents, even by threats, if they fail to be stiflingly overprotective. Antiabortionists even extend this to miscarriages.

It constitutes one additional secondary reason why it is better not to have children.
