There are no words to describe how I feel about the child Nurin Jazlin. Were it to happen to mine or close kin, only that would give me an idea of what her parents must've gone through (and still going through).
I have no facts to support or disprove the contention that they were negligent. I'm sure they were not.
But let us see the realities of the world around us. What we observe everyday does to some extent uphold the claim that some people are just plain careless (or just couldn't care less).
I've lost count of the times I've seen children on the driver's seat (on the driver's lap a la Britney Spears). The sad thing is, they're usually unaware that they're endangering themselves, their child and other people too. Some drive so slowly to compensate for holding a child in their laps that they end up being a nuisance and a danger on the road.
What are we to do?

My answer is both...
Many parents (although knowing the dangers that lurks) has the attitude that "it won't happen to me or my child"
