According to Springfield Police Department, Donohue attached a the plastic wagon to the rear of her car with a tie-down rope and drove to a roundabout circle, where she made laps around the roundabout until citizens stepped in.

The vehicle traveled up to 30 miles per hour at one point during the incident, according to witnesses. One witness told police the toddler began crying after the wagon went up on two wheels. The witness says Donohue pulled over and moved the toddler from the wagon to the car and continued driving with the 4 year-old and the 8 year-old still in the wagon.

Witnesses told police Donohue was irritated when confronted by motorists pleading with her to stop, telling them to mind their own business. When confronted by police, Donohue told an officer she didn't know why everyone was making such a big deal, saying she was just trying to show them a good time.

Sorry kids, your mother is a blithering idiot. She also missed the “don’t play in traffic” course at Mom School.

Was she the parent of any of the children involved or were these just random children she picked up?

was she too fat to walk along the sidewalk and tow it herself ???

I would think this would be a great form of exercise for a Michelle-butt

She was celebrating the 100th anniversary of Radio Flyer wagons, don’t the police watch the news?!
/s

Having said that, I would have loved that as an 8 year old! Right up until the skull fracture.

What a great mom.

It's going to be a long summer.

If this was in Louisiana, no one would have noticed anything unusual. :)

No drugs or alcohol involved but a huge amount of stupidity and likely Hellary voter.

What happens if she hits the brakes?
Do some of Newton’s law come into play?
Luckily it was only their baby teeth.
Doesn’t that neck brace go fantastic with those shoes?
Skull fracture...... Rotflmao

My dad would put down the tailgate on station wagon and take us a few blocks for ice cream as we sat on the back with our feet dangling off the back end...just residential streets and not going very fast.

We absolutely loved it, and that short ride was one of our favorite things of summer nights. Catching fireflies crickets and toads ranked right up there, too...Ah the simpler days.

Probably could not do it today.
