Ultimate Stupidity

Have you ever been surfing the web and found some strange news stories? Well, I did that yesterday and found STUPID.

I found a story about a woman who used her 12 year old daughter as a designated driver. She had the child drop her off at a local bar. The child was pulled over by the police for a traffic violation. The child explained that she had dropped her mom off at the bar and was on her way back home. They found the mother and she was arrested for child endangerment. It only gets worse, this story went to another link with a similar story.

This story involves a mother who had been taking drugs. A neighbor of this lady noticed a car speeding around the corner and screeching to a halt in front of a nearby house. The neighbor noticed the mother sitting in the passenger seat and asked if the child had been driving. The child's mother answered that he was a good driver. The child complained that he was having a hard time driving because he couldn't reach the pedals. Would you believe that a 5 year old had been driving the car with his mother and 3 year old brother inside? Of course, the mother was charged with intoxication and child endangerment.
