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.

  Child endangerment, interestingly it was the bus driver that called police.

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 girl?
