Police 'shocked and appalled' after Australian leaves 5-year-old on car floor
DARWIN, Australia - An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the cars floor, police said Tuesday.
Constable Wayne Burnett said he was shocked and appalled when he pulled over the unregistered car Friday in the central Australian town of Alice Springs.
The 30-can beer case was strapped in between two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, but on the cars floor.
