What would you do?

A coworker of mine who sits right next to me had her 6yo daughter in the office yesterday for a part of the afternoon. When she and her daughter left I happened to be looking out the window when I noticed the little girl climbed into the front passenger seat and put her seat belt on.

My almost 8yo son is still sitting on a booster seat, and never in the front, this little girl had no booster seat and sat in front. Do I speak to her or send her an email with links to transport authority websites that indicate what the laws and recommendations are, or do I just leave it be?

Update: I've spoken with a few friends who gave a great suggestion: I will print out the pages from Transport Quebec and Transport Canada and just leave them on her desk.

Thank you for your input.

Parental supervision isn't always what it's cracked up to be.

Keep them in the back seat until they learn to drive themselves I say. When they all become old enough to sit in the front seat, all they do is fight over whose turn it is, and it usually goes to the person who can punch and kick the hardest.
Ah yes, fun times that I never have to endure again.

If she is breaking the law and in danger of getting a ticket, I'd say clue her in. Otherwise, it's not your business. That's my opinion anyway.
