During a routine traffic stop Tuesday, a police officer allegedly heard a baby’s cry while asking the driver of a pickup truck to show her license, The Associated Press reported.
The officer said there was no baby seat in the car. After the woman unzipped her purse to reveal a baby girl, she explained that her daughter was born at home one-week earlier, police said.
The unnamed woman said she never had prenatal care and was en route to see a doctor, the AP reported. The baby was transported to a hospital.

Where do you get these things? I guess she thought the kid was safer in her purse since she didn't have a car seat? Restrained and all, right? Maybe she buckled the purse up nice and tight. Just when you think you've heard it all. Thanks Longnecker! I needed a laugh.

Hey, don't knock it 'till you've tried it. That's how my mom carried me around and I turned out just fine.

ok....was it a cheap purse? was it a coach or a michael kors? The reason I ask is....if you can afford a nice purse you damn sure can afford a car seat. Try as I might, I will never understand people....as of today, I just give up.

I guess St. Croix doesn't have car seat laws....since that's where this all happend.
