Boy Called 911 on Drunk Driving Mom



This is crazy: an eight-year-old boy called 911 on his drunk-driving mom, while in the speeding car with his little sister! Thankfully, no one was hurt and police was able catch her based on the road information the boy gave the dispatcher and call tracking technology.

Here’s the recorded 911 call: Link

    Alcohol is probably the worst drug out there.
    It’s immediate impact on society at large is much worse, in my opinion of course, than all of the illegal drugs.
    I’m an ex-drunk with three kids, this story hit me hard on many levels.
    Thankfully, I never did that, though.
    They were real little back then, so they won’t remember my behavior.
    This 8 year old kid is going to remember that forever.
    And people say Brittany Spears is a bad mom!

    Yeah, i know I spelled her name wrong, but who cares.

    This is just plain wrong. A kid turning in their parent? No one should consider this kid a hero.

    Hey, maybe mommy hasn’t done much to win her kid’s loyalty. That’s a healthy instinct for self-preservation right there.

    Good little lad. Baldur von Schirach would be very proud. Let this be a lesson to us parents everywhere!

    Cigr, you must have had decent parents to feel that way. Count your blessings!

    Unfortunately, being able to reproduce does not automatically earn your kids’ loyalty, or make you a good person. As the child of an alcoholic, I know how messed up it is to be a child like him, yet having to be the responsible one! This child deserves support for his actions! And I hope his mom gets help before the family gets destroyed.

    It’s OK, Brock, she probably spells it wrong too.

    Alcohol is a bad drug if you’re a drunk. If you enjoy a glass of red wine with your dinner every night, it is glorious, wonderful and fantastic.

    The kid did the right thing.

    yeah, any parent who puts the lives of their kids in danger for selfish reasons deserves what they get.

    I have a feeling Santa isn’t coming this year. :(
