Michigan State Police at the Brighton post took a 4-week-old infant from its parents Wednesday after they found the baby lying on the back seat of a vehicle with a pacifier taped into its mouth during a traffic stop.
Trooper Rene Gonzalez had stopped the parents' car on I-96 near Fowlerville Road, and saw the baby lying on the rear seat with electrical tape across both cheeks of its face to hold a pacifier in its mouth. The child, whose gender is not being released because of Child Protective Services rules, was not belted into a child safety seat.
Police say they plan to ask the Livingston County Prosecutor's Office for child abuse or neglect charges against the baby's 19-year-old father and 18-year-old mother, both of whom live in Fowlerville. The baby was turned over to its grandparents and the parents were released pending charges.

that's terrible parenting! a pacifier isn't going to permanently stop a baby from crying. those parents should be charged with neglect and wrecklessness
