It wasn’t a Big Mac attack, but a craving for the ‘Golden Arches’ that ended with a little boy taking his young sister for a ride in his dad’s van.

It happened Sunday in Columbiana County.

East Palestine police officer Jacob Koehler told FOX 8 News it happened Sunday evening around 8. The child’s father had worked all day and went to bed early. Their mother was on the couch with the kids, when she fell asleep.

That is when the children decided to leave

I wish more kids today showed this kind of initiative!

I was three when I drove Dad's yellow International truck through the front doors of his dairy farm.

He never left me alone in ANY vehicle after that.

“I was younger than 8 when I drove my uncle’s Comet through our garage.”

Friend of mine, when we were still young boys, was showing off to me and a couple other boys by sitting on his dads motorcycle, starting it up, and revving the engine. The garage door was closed so none of the neighbors could see. While he was sitting there, winding the bike up to maximum screaming RPM’s, he let the clutch out only to find that it was in gear! The rear tire immediately squealed and smoked as it spun on the slick concrete, lifting the front wheel off the ground into a wheelie as he and the bike went flying through the closed garage door and down the driveway, where he wrecked pretty quickly.

Fortunately he wasn’t hurt too bad, which was more than could be said about the garage door that now had a motorcycle sized hole through the middle of it. Needless to say, he was in a wee bit of trouble when his dad got home, which myself and the other boys made positively sure not to be there for!

” ...the little boy, who told him he had learned to drive by watching YouTube videos.”

Not some of the YouTube videos I’ve seen.

My GF’s nephew learned to drive a Bobcat at 5. At 10 he drives everything on the farm and is hell on wheels with a dirt bike.

I guess it’s too much trouble to read all the way to the 4th and 5th sentences IN THE EXCERPT!

Just wow.

What’s your problem? That’s exactly what my comment was regarding.
People who pass out from substance abuse always say they fell asleep, was my point.
Just wow.

“Witnesses told police he did obey all traffic laws and drove the speed limit.”

They knew summit was wrong ‘coz that marked him out.

Usually one kid observes and operates the upper controls while the other is on the floor working the pedals at the direction of the (usually older) kid above.

Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

The most instructive videos come from other side of North Pole.

If a five-year-old can do it, can the robots be far behind? Even in China?

Yes! Little girls rule the world! Spoken by a newly-grandfather of a baby girl. Back to the case: give the kid a stern lecture and a slap on the back for being what every girl wants, a big brother who looks out for her. I trust that the officers showed due respect for him.

Ah, yes! I’ve watched a lot of those, they remind me to stay on my toes. They’re also great for learning how to swear in Russian.

Sometimes, they’re even funny:

Sounds like "mom" and "dad" are riding the horse and the kids are fending for themselves through life.

I am really tired of these stories.
