Two young children were photographed riding in a toy car being pulled by a pickup truck on a highway in Guatemala.

The photos have been circulating on social media over the last couple of days and have many calling for an investigation of the adults involved.

One of the photos, taken by an unknown driver, show a boy and a girl sitting on a pink toy car that is being dragged on a highway by a blue truck. The small car is attached to the truck by a rope. 

In another photo a woman, who has yet to be identified, can be seen sitting on the truck bed of the 4x4 with another little boy sitting on her lap and no safety in place.

Many are calling the actions taken by the adults involved unsafe and endangering to the safety of the children.

However, others are claiming that the vehicle seems to have been moving at a low speed so the kids were not in serious danger.

Earlier this year, in January a 3-year-old toddler in Florida was found driving a motorized car on a highway until he was stopped by several cars.
