According to the Public Transport Authority, staging photographs on train tracks in Australia is illegal and seen as trespassing.

根据公共交通管理局的说法，澳大利亚不允许在火车铁轨上拍照，一旦进入可被视为非法入侵。

The West Australian reported a warning sign had been placed at level crossings to warn of the dangers as it was "dangerous and illegal".

媒体「西澳大利亚」报道，照片拍摄地点挂有「禁入」的警告标识，以此提醒公众进入铁轨是“危险且违法”的行为。

"Being on the tracks or within the rail reserve, without a permit and other than for traversing a pedestrian crossing, is classified as trespassing," PTA communications manager David Hynes said.

公共交通安全局公关经理David Hynes表示：“为穿越人行横道，在未经许可的前提下进入轨道或铁路保护区，属于非法入侵行为。”

While some people defended the mother by saying the tracks were no longer in use, others shut the theory down, saying freight trains still use the rail line in question.

"For those that are saying no trains you better do some research because freight trains still use it carrying shipping containers from the port," one person said.

Others took aim at the mother saying she's not fit to be a parent.
