Mom Arrested for Letting Autistic Kid Drive | Mobile News

A Florida mom got arrested after letting her 11-year-old autistic son drive a car—while she sat in the passenger seat, supposedly supervising. The kid hit the gas instead of the brake, crashing into a 7-Eleven barrier. The mom, who hadn’t had a valid license since July, had allegedly let her kids drive before without one. Sheriff Chad Chronister called it reckless and dangerous, stressing parents must protect—not endanger—their kids. Myers now faces child abuse and unauthorized driving charges; thankfully, no one was hurt, but property damage occurred. A shocking case that underscores how basic safety rules can’t be ignored, especially around children. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
