Teen Mom Diagnosed with Cancer.
I’m sad to report that Sabrina Solares of 16 & Pregnant Season 4, was diagnosed with cancer yesterday afternoon.
This is what Sabrina had to say:
“I got some news yesterday so bad I didn’t know what to do, everyone around me freaked out while they asked why I was so calm, the doctors found cancer its very very early stages and depending on how severe the test come back hopefully they can just take it out, but on the other side ima have to go threw test and nonsense but I am hoping and know that its nothing and they can simply take it out, I’m still smiling and being silly please keep me in your prayers that everything’s alright”
She doesn’t specify what kind of cancer however I believe that t is cervical cancer.
This is the first Teen Mom to be diagnosed with any form of cancer and fans are shocked and saddened for her and her family.
Please keep her in your thoughts in prayers.
I’m going to be a big huge c*nt and mention her car seat. Ohhh God that scares me.
@Grace1022 glad I am not the only one thinking that way!
Lets hope she is just parked. I used to loosen my son’s car seat when we were stopped in a parking lot. If i had to go to the store but he fell asleep, I would pull in and just sit parked until he woke up. Now the fact that it’s front facing and I believe she is under 1 (the new recommended age is 2) is very scary. I wonder if she even realizes how dangerous that is.
First… I hope it is early and she gets well soon!
Second… I hope anyone taking a pic of themselves in a car while in the drivers seat is parked. Especially with a baby in the car.
If this is what I had it’s a very simple procedure. When they do a pap smear sometimes they will find pre-cancerous cells on your cervix and what is called a LEEP- a lazering of the cells to get them off. After that they just do regular pap smears to make sure it doesn’t come back. Hang in there Sabrina and thankfully they caught it early!!
Well I hope it turns out to be nothing major and she gets better.
But yea, I noticed the car seat straight away too. How old is her daughter? Even if she is 1, it’s so much safer to keep them rear-facing as long as possible. If forward facing, in a crash their heads/necks take the brunt of the force and they can be internally decapitated and die. Rear-facing, the car seat takes all the force. My 3 year old still rear faces.
And she’s buckled up, so I hate to say it but I highly doubt this was an instance where they were just sitting round and she loosened the straps, got back in the car and buckled up. I’m willing to bet she just leaves them like that. Sad. Lets hope she is never in a crash, cause that baby will be hurt.
I think just the fact that she has her FF says that she didn’t just loosen them because they were parked. =( it’s honestly refreshing to see so many people acknowledge the car seat and not act like it’s perfectly acceptable! I have a friend that lets her 3 year old ride in his booster in the front seat of her Dodge Neon and got SUPER pissed when i called her out on it.

Well in my state the laws says to turn them around when they are one year or 20 pounds. Idk if thats national though. If it is you all need to shut up with all this rear facing til they’re 2. Thats just like the “recomendation” that you never leave a child under 10 alone in a room with the family dog. Most of the babies from season 4 are about the same age as my daughter and she’s 14 months and FORWARD FACING in her car seat just like the law and the instructions on her car seat said. It’s also recomended that you keep a kid on formula til they’re 2 and not to feed them eggs or fish or yadda yadda yadda. theres a million recomendations out there but as long as a mom is following the LAW she’s not doing anything wrong. The straps being that lose scared the living hell out of me but as long as the baby is 1 year or 20 lbs she’s doing just fine. She could also have been at a red light or stuck in traffic or something when she took the pic. Or like a few people said she could have loosened them at when they were parked at the store or something. I do that to. My daughter tugs on them when the car stops and since its so easy to adjust them I just pull them out when we’re stoped and tug the strap back tight when we’re ready to go again.
Just realized it sounds like I think it’s okay to have the srtaps that loose as long as she’s on age/weight. I mean she’s doing just fine having her FF.
Oh Lisa.. wow. Where do I start. You are obviously not educated on car seat safety. It is not the law to turn them around at 1, it is LEGAL to do so. You do not HAVE to. The law does not say you must turn your kid around at 1! Neither do carseats. Just that you CAN, if you want your child to be more at risk. It’s your childs life your playing with. It is RECOMMENDED to keep them rear facing until at least 2 because as I said, they are 500 TIMES (sorry for the caps, trying to get a very simple point across to you) more likely to DIE to be severly injured in a crash than a rear-facing child. I stated why in my previous comment. These are FACTS, so they are more than just recommendations. You are obviously defensive because you have your daughter forward facing and don’t know the facts. I didn’t at first either, my son’s straps looked just a little bit better than this picture, and I was going to forward face him the day he turned 1. Then I RESEARCHED when someone posted a video about a mother whose 18 month old was seriously injured in a crash, and that if he was rear facing he wouldn’t have been. I immediately learnt everything I could about keeping my son safe in the car. Because driving is risky, you must protect your child as much as you can. And you really think she stopped at a light, got out and loosened her daughters straps, then got back in and buckled up, then got back out again before the light changed and tightened them? LOL. And really, your 14 month daughter can loosen her own straps? What kind of seat allows a child to do that? All the carseats I’ve had/seen require a button at the bottom of the car seat to be pushed to loosen the straps, and then pull them at the same time. Of course it’s all good to have your child forward facing until you get in a crash and your child dies, would you still feel the same? I’d rather know that if I ever am in a crash, and god forbid my child dies, that I did everything in my power to keep him safe and would feel no guilt.
Instead of being defensive, why not take in the information? Do some research, you might change your mind like I did. But please become better informed on such an important matter.
Grace1022, it’s refreshing to me too to see others educated on car seat safety. Not enough is known about it and parents just do what they think is fine without knowing the real facts. And yea whats up with the front seat? Should absolutely be a last resort, and if there’s airbags then never.
And um wow at those other pics, loose straps, twisted, and why is the lap part of the seat belt going over her daughters lap? I’d love to call her out, but some people are so damn resistant to the facts and learning, they just think you’re calling them a bad parent instead of offering helpful info.
Rose you are so rude. I am educated. More so than you obviously cause ive looked up the other side of this arguement as well. RF vs FF can depends on the angle of the crash which you can’t control because im going to assume you’re a safe driver and a crash wouldn’t be your fault. Depending on where you get hit can change what position is safest. I never said my daughter loosens the straps I said she tugs on them. She dosen’t like the car sear so if we’re stoped at the store or in a traffic jam or train etc i’ll loosen them for her so she dosent get so pissed. Yes to loosen them I have to pysh the little button and tug on the chest clip and to tighten them back up I just pull the strap at the bttom. I dont have to unbuckle or get out of the car to do it. She very well could have done the same. Judgeing by the other picture im going to guess thats just how they are but we dont really know. Did you ever think that the law is the law for a reason? Or that the instructions on her carseat are there for a reason? The safety standards for children are really tight. If it was oh so awfully dangerous it wouldn’t be allowed. I again bring you’re attention to the recomendations I stated above. Have you left your child alone with a dog? Or let them eat fish? Or strawberries? Or pineapples? Or let them play in a public park? Cause thetes as lso recomendations against those things. If you have done a single one of those things you have no right to say shit about me or sabrina having our kids ff at the proper age. The straps and the chest clip are inexcuseable but her being ff is fine. People like.you just want to feel superior to other people. You’re not doing anything wrong by having your child rf but im not eaither. As far as the 3 year old in a booster. He shouldnt be in the front seat but toodler seat vs booster depends on how tall he is. Thats what really matter incall this. The size of the child not the age.

Actually this all boils down to age. Height and weight really have nothing to do with it until your child, when RF, is unbearably tall to ride RF. At certain stages in growth, their neck is not capable of handling an accident while in a FF position. If you were hit hard enough, they’ve had numerous cases of death and paralysis from internal decapitation. The reason it is only a recommendation right now, is because the laws would be extremely hard to enforce. They’re in the process now in most states of making them more than a recommendation. If you go on youtube, they show crashes from all angles while one child is a FF position, and the other in a RF position. Every single time, the RF’d child barely moved. The FF child on the hand snaps forward. If her child were in a car accident in the state that her straps and chest clip are, she would more then likely be ejected, sadly. =/ Also, because a lot of people like to say,”Well we managed to survive this long without those recommendations and even without car seats back in the day.” The reason they’re making these recommendations now is because there are TOO many children that DIDN’T survive and they’re trying to find ways to prevent this from happening to anybody.
This is also now why they make convertible car seats that can carry a child from 5 to 55 lbs. Children about the age of 5 and under should still be in a 5 point harness. I admit, I switched my now 7 year old WAY too early because they didn’t have those recommendations back then. But now that I know better, I do better. And this isn’t to make anyone feel stupid, or treat them like bad parents. This is to help people make an educated decision after knowing ALL the facts. It’s hard to compare taking your kid to the park and letting them drink formula instead of BM, to switching them to certain car seats before they’re ready… because the two other things don’t have the potential to be deadly. When you’re on the road, vehicles can turn into 2 ton weapons when driven by the wrong people. The suggestions in car seat manuals are bare minimums.
First thank you for.not being an asshole. Second im sure thats what you saw on those videos. I’m sure ive seen the same if not similar ones. I’ve also seen videos saying the exact opposite. I’ve come up with an opinion somewhere in the middle. You can’t just blindly believe everything someone recomends to you online. Tjis recomendation is.no different than any other. It’s your kids allergic to certain food they could die. If you take them to a public park they could get a disese and die. If you take them outside we ithout bug spra y they could get malaria and die. The size of the child dosen’t matter much about rf vs ff but when it comes to the type of carseat it does. My saught was in an infant seat til about a month and a half ago then she out grew the weight limit on it so she got her big girl seat. I repeat the law is the law for a reason. It wouldn’t be any harder to enforce than othe child seat laws. btw whered you hear 5 point til they’re 5? I heard 4.
Daughter not saught. Sorry my phone does what itvwant sometimes
The Pediatric Association actually made the recommendation. It’s hardly just an opinion I found on-line. My doctor, WIC, health and human services- all of those have pamphlets and advice for it. And it would be harder to enforce simply because most police officers don’t even know how to properly install a car seat let alone what child seat is good for what age limits. A friend of mine had a police officer tell her that it was okay to FF her child at 8 months old in high back booster that didn’t have a 5 point harness because “at least she was strapped in.” And rule of thumb with most booster seats is, if they can sit in the seat without “moving”, not put the seat belt behind them, and the lap belt rests comfortably on their lap as opposed to their stomach, then they’re ready for a booster seat.
There have also been cjild psychology groups thay have posted recomendations about how harmful spanking is but I don’t.believe that either. Until it becomes law I call bullahit. If it does I will gladly flip my daughter around and deal with her yelling at me. Although I don’t care how many anti spanking laws they come up with I will not be raiseing a brat. Personally I don’t believe it hiting a child with anything but the ftont of your open hard but I t..hink not spanking is not doing right by your child. Theres other forms of dicipline I just think a butt w. ooping is the.most evective. The car seat recomemdations are nuts nowadays. Oh no coats in the car seat. Well I live in michigan and I am not taking my child in 10 degree weather without a freakin coat.
Spanking cannot kill your child. And they’re nuts because they see so many improperly installed car seats, the wrong age being in the wrong seat and sometimes, them not even having car seats at all. And they aren’t saying no coats. They’re saying warm up your car before you take your child out. Take off the coat before you strap them in. Strap them in, then put the coat on backwards over their arms. There is also the option of wearing a fleece jacket. The reason behind that you have to loosen the straps, even slightly, for the coat to be worn comfortably. In an accident, the straps compress the jacket, and will be loose enough for your child to be ejected from the car seat. These recommendations come with years of research and have no other benefit than to potentially save the life of your child.
To compare carseat usage to the possibility of getting malaria is stupid!
“In 2007, CDC received reports of 1,505 cases of malaria among person in the United States. All but one of these cases were acquired outside of the United States; one was acquired through a blood transfusion.”
On the other hand –
“According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA), nearly 250,000 children are injured every year in car accidents. Of the 250,000 kids injured each year, approximately 2,000 die from their injuries.”
Car accidents are the number one killer of children in America. That’s a fact. Proper usage and rear facing saves lives. Every reputable organization recommends rear facing. You shouldn’t need to be told by the law to keep your child safe.

OMG THE CAR SEAT NAZIS.
Take the picture used in this article, post it to your car seat nazi discussion page, discuss her car seat problems there.
The girl is possibly facing some form of CANCER. That is what this discussion is for, and thank you to the couple of people realizing that and keeping the discussion to that subject.
Why aren’t my comments showing?? Dafuqqq
If keeping my child 500% safer by following proven research as opposed to my opinion makes me a car seat nazi, then hecks yea, I’m a car seat Nazi. W00t w00t! Also, cancer and car seat both cause death. So I think the discussion is just as important. Especially if she’s freaking dumb enough to post a picture like that for thousands of people to see.
Grace-huh. I have never heard that version of the coat rule before. That ones acctualy reasonable. I just kept hearing NO COATS NO COATS and I’m like eff that. Turns out I didn’t even break the rule. She had a fleece snow suit with a thermal lining. I still call bull shit. Everything can kill your kids nowadays.
MM1230-I kinda gotta side with grace a bit on this one. The straps beings that loose and the chest clip being so low is unexceptable. She might as well not even have her in a carseat because if they get in a crash baby girls going flying out. Obviously I think grace is to uptight about recomendations but this is something cps should be involved in. Shes putting her daughter in more danger than Amber ever did.
Hayzii- You have gotta be sooooo pissed that THATS the one that showewd up.
Oh and grace all the crazy recomendations I’ve mentioned are also based on proven research.
