SAND LAKE, Michigan (AP) -- A boy drove his mother's car to a video store in the middle of the night, police said -- and he's all of 4 years old.
Although unable to reach the accelerator, the boy managed to put the car in gear and make his way to the store, a quarter-mile from his home, about 1:30 a.m. Friday, Sand Lake Police Chief Doug Heugel said. Finding the store closed, the youngster began a slow trip home.
Weaving and with its headlights off, the car got the attention of Officer Jay Osga, who first thought he was following a car that had been left running at a gas pump.
He flipped on his lights when the car turned into the apartment complex and struck two parked cars. The boy put the car in reverse and struck Osga's cruiser.
The mother told police her son tried to drive the car earlier after she let him steer from her lap.
'He's 4 years old. His mom didn't even know he was up,' Heugel told The Grand Rapids Press. 'I don't think he even realizes what he did.'
No charges will be filed against the boy or his mother, Heugel said.
You know, there's like a butt-load of gangs on this forum. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bo staff.

i read that and thought how dumb the mom must be for the kid to even get out of the house at 4am. and how smart the kid had to be to drive to the store and back. but then i thought if he was that smart, he'd have found a 24 hour supermarket. stupid kid.

I can't believe it either ... I've never got 'round to driving a car yet [not that I want to either ... I prefer running myself].

i totally heard this on the news @ noon today.....i was like...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaatf
"BAN!"
Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.

I can only hope that that mother puts her child into some sort of child restraint when he's NOT driving. I've seen nasty pictures of what happens to kids who shouldn't be put into regular adult seatbelts.
It's kind of funny though :) If that kid can sneak out and get back almost without getting caught now his mom is really gonna get a run for her money when he's a teenager and starts sneaking out for real!

Hey, this story managed to make it to the front pages of some British newspapers!
LOL Shellbelle - yeah, just wait for him to be sneaking about when he's a teenager. A guy I work with sneaked back to his house today to check on his 15 year old son and his girlfriend because it's school holidays here, and caught them in the act on the sofa - d'oh! Kids these days huh?!!!

He came back laughing, but I think there will be serious words tonight! They're a pretty open family, talking wise, so it'll probably be cool, there are plenty condoms about from what I can gather! But he's terrified of being a grandfather at like 34!

Yeah, I think it's a father-son thing. If it had been his daughter, I'm sure the boyfriend would have seen a good hiding!

Kind of kills the mood, doesn't it?
My friend's dad gives the 'rifle talk' to his sons and his daughters' boyfriends. Two of them ended up with surprise pregnancies. Oh well.
