Ok, I really enjoy the odd stories that somehow catch CNN's attention and end up with a link on their home page. Most of the stories are normal "Pres. Bush said..." or "... Bombers in Irag did ..." etc. But every once in a while, you scan their links/teasers and pause to say, "Huunggh?!"
Today, I read about a 4 year old boy who left his mother's apartment in the middle of the night and drove her car to a convenience store and then home again when it was closed. And he didn't crash until he got home.
Now, I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and this blows my mind. She would have no idea how to drive my car - she has just gotten strong enough to open the door for herself! And what is up with not knowing that your child just left the building.
So, he gets to the store, discovered it was closed, and heads home. A cop noticed a car without lights weaving and thinking it was empty, follows it. I guess he figured out it wasn't empty when (just after it crashed and came to a stop) it backed up into his police cruiser. Ooooh, how do you explain that one to your superior?
Anyway, my conclusion is that the mother must have taught him how to drive - the kid knew how to put it into gear and then into reverse, for heaven's sake! Even if it was just in fun, HOW STUPID!! Not to mention the 4-year-old getting out at night without your notice. So, I'm shocked when there were absolutely no charges filed in this case.
