Story Of The Morning: Six Years Old & Behind The Wheel
January 07, 2009 9:31 AM
Sometimes a headline really works -- as in, you just have to read on.
So when we saw this: "Boy, 6, Misses Bus, Takes Mom's Car Instead"...we had to read on. Everyone is safe, but a boy took a ten-mile, rush-hour ride in a Ford Taurus, his mom and dad are under arrest, and a sheriff says it's a miracle no one was killed. He's right. Here's the full story.

6 going on 16, they grow up so fast...what I really want to know is did he have his seat belt on...lol, seriously there must have been something serious about that court order for them to arrest the dad and put the kids in foster care. There must have been an angel in that car watching over him.

There IS something seriously wrong, if the father was to NEVER leave the kids alone with the mother. And the mother was still sleeping when her child was to be getting ready for school.
Kid needed breakfast, and knew his loving, misunderstood and persecuted parents weren't going to provide it.
AND (just to be really picky) that GTA game is rated MATURE, isn't it?? How did a 6-year-old "get good" at it?
It's okay, IF they lose their kids, they'll just pump out more...
