Video: Seven-Year-Old Leads Cops on Car Chase
A seven-year-old boy shook up a small town in Utah when he led police on a car chase last Sunday morning. After receiving reports of a reckless driver, police quickly located the erratic vehicle, but had to follow it for 10 blocks before they confirmed the identity of the pint-sized driver. The boy was gone and home before his parents even knew he was missing.
When questioned by authorities on why he had stolen the family car, the boy said that he didn’t want to go to church because it was too hot.
According to this video, the boy was not a bad driver for someone whose feet don’t reach the pedals. He drove at up to 45 miles an hour, and, though he swerved a bit and had zero respect for stop signs, he ended up home safe and sound. Upon parking the car outside his house, he jumped out of the car and sprinted inside as fast as he could, like any common criminal.
But unlike your average car thief, the boy got off scot free because of his tender age, with authorities saying only they hope that his parents keep a closer eye on him in the future.
Do you think that this case warrants further attention from authorities—if not from police, then maybe a counselor or social worker? Or is this just a little boy being a little too mischievous?
