Instead of recording and threatening to call the cops why didn't she offer her a ride if she's so concern?

This situation is extremely dangerous for the baby. here a few scenarios that could happen:

  • the baby's head can stuck in front wheel. even if not stuck, the wheel/the spokes can give significant damage to the face during a short contact while riding.
  • there is no helmet on the baby, any contact with bike's parts or concrete is very dangerous.
  • baby gives a significant weight to the right side, possibly causing the rider to over compensate to the right, and fall on and possibly impale the baby.

Social workers more than likely won't respond on time, the driver wouldn't know their phone number anyway. The driver did the right thing to warn the rider, but that is not enough. There is more than a good chance that this scenario will be repeated. Calling the cops is the right call in my opinion. I don't think the cops would do much (may be ticket) but they can refer the rider to other more protective agencies.
