Interesting article but there are far more significant things that
could be easily tackled to more significantly reduce infant/child
deaths IMO.
...and those things should all be dealt with. They have nothing to do
with the problem at hand. If the car seat problem isn't dealt with
that money won't automatically go into those other projects.

It's still bullshit. That money is in other peoples pockets, it's not
like its just lying in a pile and won't be used if this particular
forced good deed isn't done, (and a dedicated idiot will still override
the safety device). If you've got kids and you want to spend it on an
alarm system so you don't forget their own children, so be it. People
have to take some kind of responsibility for their own stupid actions.
Society isn't responsible for people who accidentally bake their kids.
The ones responsible are the idiots, who would do such a thing.. I'll
morn for the children, but but I won't force the rest of the world to
protect those kids, it's not their responsibility Unfortunately I can't
think of a punishment that fits the crime, that doesn't reek of pure
vindictiveness.
