I have no real reason for passing this along. It's just plain funny.
Scary, yes, but funny. Checkout what Charles Barkley's love child just did.[1]
Police say a 7-year-old South Florida boy faces grand theft auto charges after taking his grandmother's Dodge Durango for a joyride.Here's the video.
The eight minute trek left a swath of damage in his Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood yesterday. The boy smashed mailboxes, hit parked cars and signposts. He was unhurt. Police say he literally drove until a wheel fell off. The right front wheel, to be exact, which broke off after the boy hit a sign.
The boy's mother says he apparently grabbed the keys to his grandmother's sport utility vehicle, backed it out of her driveway, and took off. Police spokeswoman Ellen Lovejoy says the boy is unlikely to be prosecuted. They arrested him so he can get some help, noting the excursion was "unusual behavior for a 7-year-old."
"I wanted to do it cause it's fun. It's fun to do bad things. To drive into a car."
"I wanted to do hoodrat stuff for my friends."
Okay, actually I do have a reason for passing this along.
Somebody please get this kid his own Nickelodeon sitcom before he actually does kill someone. Keep him off the Ritalin and put him in some creative arts classes or something.
This child will either be the next Keenan Thompson or the most entertaining guy on the yard. And by yard, I don't mean Penn State, I mean State Penn.
This is why I'm so adamant about asking you guys to Take The AB Challenge. This sorta acting out is clearly a plea for attention. Someone needs to help this child. Please!
Question: In 30 words or less, tell me what's really wrong with the story above?

[1] Is it just me, or does this sorta stuff always happen in Florida!?!?

Where is the father or any father figure in this boy's life?
At age 7 Black women want to be with him, blak men want to be him.
No, it's not just you. There really is something about Florida. Must be something in the water.
(Gators?)
.
Where is the boy's father, why does grandma have custody, and why didn't the reporter ask who plans to teach the child responsibility?
23 words, I think I got it right.
I see a kid with no concept of accountability.
I also see a kid very clearly pissed off that his mom is giving more attention to her "cigarette" smoking friend than he own kid.
No wonder the child is livin' with his Grandma.
And yeah, where the hell is his Pops?
Okay, did you hear the grandmother say she wanted to whip him and would if she didn't think she'd get in trouble? What the hell is wrong in America? That child needs an asswhippin' and his grandmother feels powerless to do so! Funny thing, my co-workers and I were talking about this very thing today. I'm 41 years old, I don't remember a bunch of ADD kids in my hood when I was little. I'm sure no scientific study has been done on this, but back in my day--parents, grandparents-hell, Ms. Mary from across the street would beat you if she caught you doing something wrong, and there wasn't this high proportion of of "hyperactive" kids. Those spankings kept kids in line. Maybe I'm just old, but what worked for me works for mine. I just don't get it.....It'a damn shame his grandmother fears spanking the kid. He obviously needs a good spanking! I remember my mom spanking me and telling me she was doing it because she loved me. Once I became an adult, I understood what she meant. And I love and appreciate her for it.
okay i might be the only one and i know this kid is bad but to be 7 and have the brains to operate a motor vehicle is slightly impressive so the kids not dumb but sigh will his brains go to good use.............i doubt it
Damn the pansy PC child law. Beat his ass. Period. Problem Solved.
I had a roomie in college who used to *snort* Ritalin. It didn't help.
EG
Plainly put he needs to be held accountable for his actions. What's wrong with the story? The words "probably will not be prosecuted"
If he doesn't learn now he'll learn in 7 years when he's arrested for boosting cars. (more than 30 words sorry)
This little boy is too much. I also believe Florida has way too many wayward youth and grown folk.
-faye
Go on and lock him up now! In 10 years I hope I don't see him in the Florida State Pennitentiary(Jail). I can't spell. (25 words)
