But a viewer contacted us with a question about a possible loophole in the law.
Of course, driving with a small child in your car without a car seat is illegal.
But a child riding a motorcycle without restraint is not against North Carolina law.
A viewer contacted us after a man on a motorcycle picked up a small child at school.
We contacted the DMV and a spokesperson told us there is no law restricting kids from catching a ride on motorcycles.
We took the issue to state legislator Pricey Harrison to get answers as to what can be done.
"I can't see that it is very healthy or safe. And you know we don't want to be heavy handed government. But if the parents don't exercise the right the kind of control, I guess we're probably going to need to legislate this."
Harrison serves on the Child Fatality Task Force.
She says the issue actually came up during the group's meeting Monday.
That committee has the power to make recommendations on age or restraint restrictions in the near future.
