Boy, 6, Tries To Drive To School
and drives 10 miles

The youngster, who has not been named, missed his school bus in Wicomico Church, Virginia, early on Monday morning.

His father had already left for work, leaving the boy and his four-year-old brother at home with their mother, who was still asleep.

After she failed to wake up in time to help him get ready, he decided to take the keys to the Ford Taurus and make his own way to Northumberland Elementary School.

But after driving for around 10 miles, possibly standing up, he lost control of the vehicle and crashed.

Gas prices are going up..

 I guess the fun had to end sometime! 

I saw at the bottom of the article about both parents being arrested and that the children are now in foster care.

In my personal opinion, I don´t see how the father had anything to do with it, he went to work for the children to be in care of the mother. Ok the mother needs to pay a hell of a lot more attention to her kids more often but honestly, who would think their 6 year old child would take your car and drive to school?

It´s not so much as letting the parents off for something as extreme as that but to be arrested and to put both the kids in care (which is not always a good thing either) I think is a little on the extreme side of punishment.

Along with everything else in the world Where I live now it used to cost £7.50 for 4 stops on a train, when I was in New York, it was $4 (return) to get around on the subway mostly anywhere and now they are putting the prices up even HIGHER!! As if it wasn´t expensive enough!

KABUL, Afghanistan – The mother and brother of a 14-year-old girl who was raped are facing prosecution for allegedly performing an abortion on her in a cattle shed in central Afghanistan, officials said (...) The abortion was performed about nine days ago, using no anesthesia. The incisions were stitched up with a thick string usually used to sew up potato sacks (...)

Nader said the girl told him that she had not known her mother and brother´s plan when they took her into the cattle shed. She said the two of them wrestled her to the ground and held her down while they cut her stomach open. She blacked out for much of the ordeal, but she said she remembered seeing her brother hold up the fetus.
