Mom, Can I Drive?
An 11 year old kid crashed his mom's car after she let him drive to school. That's pretty stupid and goes along well with Daffy's post about bad parents.
I don't understand, though, why one of the kid's punishements was to be expelled from school. What did he do that endangered his academic career? Certainly his mother should be chastised and the kid should get a traffic ticket and such, possibly delay him legally getting his license, but why expel him from school? What good does that do? Why is that even related to the bad decision to drive a car?
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
