    Who in their right mind would think it is safe for anyone to ride in the bucket of a tractor? People need to think. I don't care if this kind of stuff goes on daily on farms...it just shouldn't, plain and simple. Why not let the child ride on the hood of a car? I hope this child survives and comes out of it without any other issues. A senseless and preventable accident.
