That Is One Badass Seven Year Old - Polidicks

[url]http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/06/22/michigan.7.year.old.driver/index.html[/url] [quote](CNN) -- A 7-year old Michigan boy took a 20-mile drive in his stepfather's car, ending in a high-speed chase with local law enforcement, according to the Huron County Sheriff's office. Around 10 a.m. Monday, 911 dispatchers received multiple calls reporting what appeared to be a young child driving a red Pontiac across town. "Uh, yes, I'm on Kinde Road outside of Caseville, and believe it or not, I just passed about a 5-, 6-year-old kid flying down the road with a red Pontiac Sunbird," one caller told the dispatcher as he tried to follow the speeding car. Eventually, the caller lost sight of the boy. According to Huron County Sheriff Kelly J. Hanson, the car was seen again minutes later in Caseville by another man who called 911. It was racing past a Dairy Queen restaurant. Based on details provided by 911 dispatchers, Huron County Sheriff's Deputy Randy Britt and Caseville Police Chief Jamie Learman began searching for the car. Hanson said Britt and Learman caught up to the young driver and attempted to stop the car, which officials said was driven as fast as 50 mph. The boy appeared to have difficulty pulling over and footage from Britt's dashboard camera shows the officers eventually had to box the car in to slow it down. According to Hanson, though stopped, the car was still running and in gear. The boy was upset, he said, and couldn't unlock the car door. Finally, officers were able to calm the child and get the door open. Britt put the vehicle in park. "It was learned that the child had left his residence in his stepfather's vehicle, which is in the Sheridan Township area. He was heading for his father's residence in the Filion area," said Hanson. "Deputy Britt called the child's mother and got her voicemail. She quickly returned the call and was unaware that her son was missing. Apparently, she had worked a night shift and had left instructions with the boy to be awakened at 10:00 a.m." A deputy brought the mother to the car and her frightened son, where deputies arranged for them to go to the county Department of Human Services. "We're waiting to hear back from DHS to see how to proceed if we need to, if there is any trouble in the home, any neglect," Hanson said. "We won't release the parents' names until DHS has decided what to do, so we don't interfere with possible court proceedings." No charges have been filed against the boy or his mother. According to Timothy J. Rutkowski, prosecuting attorney for the Huron County Prosecutor's Office, "We're still in the process of looking over the report."[/quote] :damn:that kid is badass.

I get scared looking at the road in the front seat, let alone a high speed chase. I'm 21. This boy needs a medal. (Or a smack, can't tell which)

This happened before several months back I believe.

:xd: How did he even reach the pedals?

[QUOTE=NO ONE;30723720]:xd: How did he even reach the pedals?[/QUOTE] Must have been a tall seven year old to both reach the pedals and look over the dashboard.

[QUOTE=NO ONE;30723720]:xd: How did he even reach the pedals?[/QUOTE] not all kids are as small sized as you are

[QUOTE=NO ONE;30723720]:xd: How did he even reach the pedals?[/QUOTE] Easily, but he had to use a periscope to see the road.

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;30723892]not all kids are as small sized as you are[/QUOTE] He was 7, noone is that tall at that age.

[QUOTE=valkery;30724299]He is seven dude, every kid that age is a reckless idiot.[/QUOTE] No they aren't.Some are actually pretty decisive.It's when they are having fun, then they are reckless.Don't know what kinda psychos you got over there.

I had a friend of mine in 1st grade that was about 4.5-5 feet.

By the way, the interviewed guy said he was about 4 feet tall and standing up on the floor mat barely touching the seat.

[quote]He was heading for his father's residence in the Filion area[/quote] Now I feel bad, the kid just wanted to see his father which obviously means he isn't very happy with his home life/stepfather.

If my kid did that just to see me, I would be so proud

haha what a bamf!

Did his shoes hurt?
