New Law

There's a new law that goes into effect July 1st. All kids under the age of 8 or 4 foot 9 inches tall need to be in a booster seat.

I seriously have a problem with this law. Where are my rights as a parent? If I as a parent think my child doesn't have to be in a booster at 8 years old I should have a right not to put them in one. Why do I need the government to tell me how to raise my child? Bad enough I need them in my life determining how fit I am adopt a child and now they are making decisions for me too?

What about my sister who's barely 4 foot 11 inches tall. She's barely 4 foot 9 by the time she was in the 7th grade. So she's suppose to be in a booster seat at the tender age of 13 because her genetics place her in the short group?

I have so many issues with this. I will not force my child to be in a booster seat when he is 8. The government needs to spend less time trying to tell us American's what we can and can't do by all these laws and spend more time trying to create jobs.
