The Associated Press: 6-year-old takes family car after missing bus

Now there's a dedicated kid. I think we can all learn something from him/her.

Ha Ha, we sure can learn something from this!!!

Incredible!

I used to conspire and connive to stay out of school!

That kid is nuts...

His parents are, actually. Read carefully and you will realize that (1) his mother was still asleep and the 6-year-old was getting ready for school all by himself and (2) he was so anxious to get to school for breakfast that he kept walking towards the school even after the crash, meaning there was little chance of getting that at home.

Thankfully the report also went on to say that the boy and his 4-year-old brother have been taken into protective custody.

If they dont take care of their children, I wonder why they procreate.

Oh, is it? I know there must've been a catch somewhere... cant imagine anyone being so desperate for school...

idea of family was already broken by feminists in west 4 decades back.now not even mother will have any will to care her child properly.this scenario is fast catching in our IT jobs infested couples(not a generalization) where none will be ready to take care of their kid(if any). :x

While its sad to see the cultural issues behind, we need to admit that's a amazing drive by a 6 year old and happy to note he was able to get away without hurting himself ! Wow

I dont know what prompts kids to do this action. May be car is part of american culture.

And I appreicate the kids sincerity towards school. Exactly opposite to what I had despite living just 200-250 mtrs from my school compound.

Well at least he was heading to school! Give the poor kid a break!!

But seriously parents should be severely warned. How could they just leave a 6 year old on his own? Shows poor parenting and not much else. A lot of people including the kid could have been seriously hurt.
