    Ared1 replied to Spoiled627's topic in General Nursing

    As a former insurance salesman the only connection I can see between the ticket and dependent or child abuse would be seatbelt violations. Even though they don't count against you for insurance or points on your drivers license (at least in Indiana) ...
