Mother arrested for transporting her newborns inside a milk crate on a bicycle (+ VIDEO)
There are many opinions about how best to parent: almost every parent has their own, unique approach that others would (and do) find fault with. But the truth is that it is nigh on impossible to label any particular parenting method as absolutely "right or wrong".
But in the story that we are about to tell you about here is different. A mother decided to talk her two young children for a short trip out. The problem lies in how she decided to do this...

A video of this mother outraged everyone who watched it. Here are the facts:
The mother, Blossum Kirby, 36, was riding her bike down a busy Indianapolis street. But Blossum was struggling to control the bike. In fact several witnesses saw her having problems with the bike: she was swerving dramatically and looked like she would lose control of the bike at any moment.
But that wasn't the biggest problem - what she had on the "out-of-control" bike was...
Blossum had her two young children on the bike - in a milk crate! And the crate was balanced on the handlebars of the bike. Later, it was discovered the infants (twins) were only 2 months old. And that's not all...
The infants were only wearing diapers. Consequently, they were fully exposed to the scorching sun (and to the jolting of the bike, of course). Finally, someone stopped Blossom and told her that she shouldn't be transporting young babies in this manner. "But I always do this," Blossom replied.
Whilst one person was arguing with Blossom, someone else called the police. When they arrived, Blossom was arrested and her children were taken into care.
The infants both had burns and abrasions on their little bodies… Blossom was convicted for her reckless actions and jailed for one year. What do you think about this story?
