Q: Some time ago, documentarians were filming kit foxes living in the southern part of the Cal State Bakersfield campus. It was reported that they were telling the story of how the mom kit fox taught her pups to cross Camino Media to forage in the movie theater trash.

I am a concerned parent and I write to you because my son's safety is at risk here. I do not have a vehicle so I rely on the GET bus, but I am risking my son's safety because he is not buckled in any type of safety seat. I know I am not the only mom who takes her baby on the bus because I constantly see other moms trying to hold on to their child with all their might. Is there some crazy law preventing child safety when using the public transportation system?
