    BWAHAHAHA! That's an incredible story!

    For those saying that the parents are bad because the child had access to the car, my parents IMO are great and when I was a little kid they thought I was sleeping and I undid the lock on my window, snuck out, and was playing in the middle of the road for an hour before someone came and got me and took me to the house (an old lady that almost hit me) and all of this is before I could remeber anything, too!

    Also, for what it's worth, when I was 3 I crashed a car into a dumpster because they had the keys in the car for the radio and I turned the car on and backed it out BAM into a dumpster. Well... I got half the things they did right... right?

    I fail to understand how, no violence was involved here, now we can't drive cars in games any more either? Stupid part to include in the article...
    Also I don't see why the parents are charged with child endangerment, the kid was supposed to go to school, they send him off and go back to sleep, kid misses bus and freaks. While it's not optimal parenting it's not exactly criminal...

    Driving isn't too hard unless you have a difficulty like dislexia...

    dyslexia is a speech/written language disorder. Do you mean dyspraxia?

    No; i'm talking about reading road signs. But I don't exactly know much about disorders except for certain ones...
