A shocking video clip shows two small children illegally strapped into booster seats in the back of a pickup truck on a Kansas highway
The amateur video was shot by a motorist driving along the highway in Wichita.
Dmitri Fernandez filmed the bizarre scene while driving along Route 54 earlier this month.
The clip went viral and has been viewed more than a million times online.
A local police officer told KSNT-TV that the driver was breaking the law.
‘Regardless if someone has made an attempt to install a seat back there, in this case...if [the seats are] not where the manufacturer intended for a seat to go, it’s illegal,’ said Sergeant Jess Hancock.

At least they have seats.
In my time, we would be flying back & forth in the back of the pickup.
So many stories of a Farm Kid, circa 60-70’s.
What are seatbelts?
Pffffht...kids have it soft these days.

What can anyone say? There are fools and idiots amongst us and they can breed at will.

I hope someone who actualy saw that called the police.
That is beyond dangerous for those kids...

Oh My Goodness!!! What where they thinking. In my town it is against the law to have children riding in back of a pick up truck period.

I've always said people should need a license to have kids.

I prefer to think of non-parenting parents as nothing more than biological delivery systems.

Good grief @sidsmom , with all due respect, there' s a huge difference between children riding in the back of a pickup on a dirt farm road at maybe 20 mph with no other traffic (I did that many times growing up) and doing it on a highway at higher speeds, lots of traffic and asphalt, IMO.

In my state, GA, it's illegal to have an animal in the bed of a pickup, tethered or not, much less kids.
Horrible things have happened, good legislation IMO.

This is just crazy. How could one think its ok to do this? Did the parents get stopped by police, or was this video as far as it went?
