Parents MIA

When I got home from work tonight, I got on the internet and I came across an article about an 11 year old girl that got pulled over for speeding and plus she was drunk! Where in the world are the parents?? The article said she was vacationing with her parents down in Orange Beach, AL and she was going to pick up her sister from a concert. Number 1 question, why was the eleven year old drinking in the first place? Question 2, why on earth was she driving and not her parents...she's 11!? Question 2, WHERE WERE THE PARENTS??? When I was eleven here's what I was thinking about:

1. My goal was learning how to do a back flip on the trampoline.

2. Riding my bike with Leigh at her granny's.

3. Playing with my barbie dolls with the coolest barbie doll house EVER!

4. Watching cartoons (Heathcliff and the Cadillac Cats, Doug, etc.)

5. Climbing the magnolia trees in our old yard

I couldn't imagine being a kid this day in age. Its gotten so bad...its not like it use to be. We had things so much simpler, even though we thought it wasn't. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have wanted to grow up so fast. I would have wanted time to stay still. I can honestly tell you this, I know everyone would agree, my parents would have never let me even take a sip of alcohol, nor be driving alone causing a police chase (driving over 100 mph). My extent of driving was in my daddy's lap on country roads...ah, those were the days.

In conclusion, these parents should be arrested. They shouldn't even have children if they are going to that irresponsible. Even if the child snuck out, driving a car or drinking shouldn't have crossed her mind. Parents.
