Security camera footage obtained by Nine News shows a boy in nothing but a diaper clinging to the roof racks of a car being driven by his mother. The incident took place at around 5.45pm on Friday in Australia.

A spokesman for WA Police told News Corp Australia a 36-year-old woman is assisting police with their inquiries. He confirmed there were two other children in the car but they were properly restrained in their seats. It’s believed the mother was unaware the child was on the roof of the moving car. “Other motorists managed to get the attention of the driver who stopped and placed the child in the car before driving away,” the police spokesman told News Corp Australia.
