Authorities said they began receiving multiple calls about 4:45 p.m. Wednesday from residents who reported a young child riding in unsafe conditions. Deputies caught up with the moped and the child was taken to a hospital to be treated for a severe rash.
"Deputies discovered that (the couple’s) 5-month-old child had been positioned between them on the moped while traveling on the highway,” a Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office spokesman said
Investigators have not released any other information about the child, or whether he was released to other family members, WTVR reported.
