Is it just me?
BOY, 4, DRIVES MOM'S CAR TO VIDEO STORE AND BACK.

I heard about this on the news this morning. They also said that this was not the first time the boy had gone off in the car alone (this is not mentioned in this article). It made me think of last week's episode of Super Nanny, she had a young child that would wander outside on his own. I may be wrong, but it didn't even seem to worry her. During the show he wandered outside twice without her knowing it. When she went to look for him, she didn't even seem upset about it. Maybe I am being judgemental, but why would you not worry about a pre-school aged child wandering outside without your knowledge? The Nanny had her put a chain lock on the door so the that children could not get out without her knowing it. There are sick people preying on our children, don't make it any easier for them. Dispite the fact that they could get themselves in a world of trouble on their own. Even though the 4 year old in the above article was not going very fast, he could have been hit by a car that was going fast. I hope that this scared the mother enough to do something to prevent this from happening again. I do also know that the mother had no way of knowing that he was awake, but why was he able to get the car keys and get out the door on his own?
