Images of a couple on a motorcycle in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, have outraged internet users. The parents were carrying a baby strapped to a “kangaroo” style backpack without a helmet.
According to the Municipal Traffic Department, the incident occurred on Tuesday (16) and the couple, who were wearing helmets, has not been identified yet.
“The children are at the mercy of thoughtless adults! Children need care and attention,” criticized a user on social media.
The Traffic Department stated in a note that “situations like this pose an extreme risk to life and should not be normalized.”
Authorities are investigating the case to take appropriate measures regarding the traffic violations committed by the couple and the danger the baby was exposed to.
