What happens if the 5 year old is in a car accident? Gets bitten by a dog? Etc? I don't question a father's respect for the safety and well being of his child. It's not a question of a 5 year old making a decision, it's a question of a father making a decision. There is nothing inherently unsafe about riding on a motorcycle in spite of what many profess.
Now, if the father was out speeding and stunting or doing other dangerous and / or illegal things, the mother would have a valid concern.
