Is this a matter of a young mother not being able to afford child safety seats, or just casual disregard for the lives of her children? If it’s the former, I’ll gladly purchase one for her her, and I’m sure others would help supply the other two. There are also free child safety seats available from the Texas Department of State Health Services to those who meet the few qualifications listed here:
