Kids do the darndest things.

On KSL.com today was the following story.

"A 14-year-old boy faces DUI charges. Orem police say they were first alerted Friday around 11:00 p.m. to a report of a vehicle hitting a fence and backing into another vehicle outside a mobile home park near 500 North and 1200 West. The car was gone when an officer arrived, but another report of a suspicious vehicle helped locate the car. Later officers caught up with the suspect's car, pulled it over and were shocked to find out the driver was only 14 years old. A 13-year-old female passenger was also inside the car. "When the officer went up to speak to him, he could smell alcohol," said Sgt. Craig Martinez. Martinez also says the car was stolen out of Salt Lake City. Martinez says the teen faces many charges including DUI and leaving the scene of an accident. He probably won't drive legally for awhile."

I'm sure there is plenty of blame to go around, bad parenting, living in the wrong place, bad schooling system, who cares who you blame it still comes down to a stupid 14 year old steeling a car, getting drunk and going for a joy ride. I'm not here to stifle the dreams of this young man wanting to become a life time criminal, but what the hell was he thinking? Obviously this kid isn't the brightest bulb in the box, but you don't need to be a genius to figure out that you don't jack a car get drunk and go driving. Yet another reason I don't want kids.
