If you had not been so insistent then your son would have been terribly hurt or killed.<br /><br />It has to be the test of us as parents, how our kids behave when we are not there.

He tore off his nose to the point that he could touch the tip to his forehead with ease and his friend had such a concussion for 3 days he suffered from short term memory loss asking every five minutes "hey mom, whats for dinner" not remembering he already asked. My father also had the seatbelt dig rather badly into his side.<br /><br />He still wears one today.Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626470287391577908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-63542053350841141572012-06-21T03:49:56.195+03:002012-06-21T03:49:56.195+03:00I only know one person who was injured by a seat b...I only know one person who was injured by a seat belt other than a bruise. It was because she's 5 feet tall and the seat belt cut across her neck. I literally know of dozens who were saved by the seat belt, including my son. He was the only person in the car wearing a seat belt when it rolled. He told the ER doctor that he had it on because I always told him it was not negotiable, wear the seat belt. Three of his friends were killed in that wreck.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-87820065512915182292012-06-17T09:26:39.500+03:002012-06-17T09:26:39.500+03:00I think I would've slapped her.

It is pathetic that she is so ignorant that she can't see what seatbelts do, especially with her son on the verge of death because he to refuse to wear one. Maybe she needs to keep on refusing so that eventually the gene pool will be thinned with her not in it...Sherbear23https://www.blogger.com/profile/08566712259905903247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-31308872767071263122012-06-06T22:56:10.017+03:002012-06-06T22:56:10.017+03:00I've always wanted to be a doctor ever since I...I've always wanted to be a doctor ever since I was 5 years old.

The madness over autism and MMR in the UK is a classic example.<br /><br />Here I just don't understand it. Both the stats <i>and</i> the personal story go to show the difference a seat-belt makes.
