My honest reaction: arrested for travelling with a two year old suitcase, that’s odd. Ah. with a two year old in a suitcase

Would it still be illegal if the suit case was in the child?
I don’t think it is unreasonable for a child to eat a full suitcase
Was she arrested for child endangerment or fare evasion? The article didn’t say. 😏
Seriously though, good thing she didn’t get hurt. That could’ve gone much much worse.
Children under 3 can ride free if they sit on their parents’ lap.
Or in the suit case apparently
Child endangerment, interestingly it was the bus driver that called police.
I was expecting the mom to be on vacation from Florida
