Driver buckles beer in car — but not child
DARWIN, Australia — An Australian driver who secured a carton of beer in his car with a seat belt but left a 5-year-old child unrestrained was fined 750 Australian dollars ($710; €460), police said Tuesday.
Constable Wayne Burnett said he was "shocked and appalled" when he pulled over the unregistered car on Friday in the central Australian town of Alice Springs.
The 30-can carton was strapped in between the two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, on the vehicle's floor.
"The child was sitting in the lump in the center, unrestrained," Burnett told reporters Tuesday.
"I haven't ever seen something like this before," he said. "This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child."
The driver was fined for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, and for failing to ensure a child was wearing a seat belt.
Alice Springs Police Superintendent Sean Parnell expressed shock at the incident in a statement released Tuesday.
"This serves as a timely reminder to all drivers to ensure they wear seat belts and ensure as is their responsibility that all passengers in their vehicle are secured in the appropriate manner," he said.

What freaking idiots. Who would put beer in the seat instead of a child? That guy deserves more than a damn fine!
Re: rainbone – GET THE FUCK OFF THIS SITE YOU LOSER.
haha at least the beer was restrained behind the kid cause if the car had crashed or sharply stopped then it woulda slid forward into him. but still, parents are idiots. Blame britney.
Yea cause you know we can't have that beer rolling around the floor board.

That picture is appauling and disgusting. It's child abuse and the asshole with the lighter should be put in jail for a long time! PATHETIC!
HMMMMMMM……WHY DID YOU POST THAT PICTURE OF A TYPICAL CONSERVATIVE BLUE COLLAR REPUBLICAN GEORGE BUSH SUPPORTER?
JUST STRANGE.
……..AND FOR 19% OF TRAILER-DWELLING, GUN TOTIN', CHEETO-EATING, KNUCKLE DRAGGING, BRAIN-DEAD 'BUSHWHACKED' 'CON'SERVATIVES, "FUCK YOU TOO." ROTFLMFAO
What do you expect? It's not a typical Australian, it's a Aboriginal. The doomed race, the race that relies on our tax money to pay for their alcohol habits and free housing. The only race on this planet that is lazy and have high death rate than Africa!!
"This is the first time that the beer has taken priority over a child."
Hahahaha. No it isn't and it won't be the last.

guess that 19% is the percentage who still support the son of a bitch?
Well hell……he had to protect his beer…..THIS IS A DAMN DISGRACE…..AND PEOPLE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT AMERICANS..THIS SHIT GOES ON ALL OVER THE WORLD……..THESE POOR CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
didn't we have a similar story a month or so ago? where the mother strapped in a case of beer but left the child unrestrained, and another woman was driving the car? she said it wsa because there was only 1 working seatbelt
oh yes - gotta love us Aussies!!!!
why would you even put this crap on, so tasteless.
Re: Kevin Rudd – totally agree!
STOP PICKIN" ON MY DADDY.
.
I KNOW HE LOVES BEER MORE THAN ME AND MAMA
.
being an ex pat aussie, I'm not surprised to hear this, especially from the outback.
I find it suitable that the story comes from *Darwin* and involves these morons.
poor child - why does god let these kind of people be parents?
I used to live in darwin which is approx. 500 KMS from where this idiot was picked up (he was picked up in Alice Springs) and trust me it's not suprising because the druken aboriginals are fucked in the head and prefer grog (alcohol) to their own children. Trust me there are MAJOR problems there with all of them I have personally seen young babies as young as three wondering around with their siblings or cousins without no parents in sight!! And, of course the parents don't give a toss and don't call me a fucking racist either because Iam half Aboriginal myself (My dad is aboriginal) and seeing that fucking crap up there in darwin made me ashamed to call myself Aboriginal and more determined to make better than these druken losers who SHOULD have their kids taken of them but when authorities try to they scream racism or threaten violence to these poor people that are trying to save the children from those parents that place their kids in horrendously dirty houses and abuse of all kinds.
What an alcoholic! That is just horrible! Poor kid, child services should find him to a better home….
This story is OLD! I remember reading it months ago.
This is absolutely crazy and I can't believe all he got was a fine. Here he would have been in jail or at least I would hope.
I heard this story MONTHS ago….
Re: Cathy –
Oh Cathy, Pete D as a kid….you are so right! That was freakin' funny!!!!!
Re: j – AND YOU ARE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE WHEN YOU GET IN A CAR CRASH AND NO ONE IS GOING TO FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR STUPID ASSES
Ridiculous!!! The same thing happened with some idiot lady in St. Louis over the last summer.
My parents took a picture of me similar to that one when I was little. But there was no lighter involved. I was holding a beer bottle and had my dad's cigarette in my mouth. The cigarette kinda looks like it was lite though. lol
What an IDIOT!
Re: Joe Blow –
A mother having an abortion is nothing like this you fuck tard. In 2008 Woman finally have the chance to say IM NOT READY TO CARE FOR A CHILD! and assholes like you discriminate there decision without knowing the history behind it. Sure there are sluts who abuse the RIGHT to abort an child but if a woman decides they aren't capable of going through with it then who are you to judge? sure there's adoption but Pregnancy alone is a 9 mth commitment of something growing in your body and NOBODY should be FORCED to go through with that. So welcome to 2008 dick fuck and mind your own fucking business.
Re: shut the fuk up…leave bitch –
hey there…im from australia and i have never and will never do somethng like that so i really dont think ur in a place to judge every australian calling us fucking idiots off one person….if that were the case there r plenty of dumbass americans i could judge u off…alot more then anywhere else in this world

this is so old, wow you sure know how to bring the new to your blog Perez, specially celebrity news, I guess in your eyes this would count as celebrity gossip…
Why in the world would you use this pic on your website? This picture depicts child neglect at best and with all of your "for a good cause" rallying you'd think you care more.
No heart.
This photo is very disturbing. So's the story of the restrained beer, the unrestrained child on the floor, and 2 adults in the vehicle.
Proud to be an American and not some bloody besotted Aussie.
