Few questions come up when reading this.
1.) How'd the child reach the gun.
2.) How'd he know how to load the gun.
3.) How'd he know how to cock the gun.
4.) How'd he know how to turn the safety off.
5.) Did he actualy do any of the above...

I would have posted this in humor section but some may not find it as funny ^_^

A six-year-old used the skills he learned playing GTA to drive himself to school - or at least part of the way there.

The unnamed boy apparently was so distraught at the idea of missing P.E. class that when he missed the school bus, he jumped into his parents' Taurus and sped off after it. He later told police that he learned to drive by playing GTA and Monster Truck Jam.

He should've stuck with the controller; less than five miles later, he made a couple of 90 degree turns, went off the road twice and finally smashed into a utility pole.

After bending the car around the pole, he got out and started walking into school. Does anyone like P.E. that much?

The boy's parents, Jacqulyn Deana Waltman, 26, and David Eugene Dodson, 40, are being charged with child endangerment, whilst the boy and his 4 year old brother are being taken into protective custody.

Northumberland County Sheriff, Chuck Wilkins, said "This really is a story of miracles. The Lord was with him, along with everybody else on the highway."

Does anyone else wonder what a six-year-old was doing playing GTA in the first place?

Thats what I wrote dummy ^_^

Lawl i thought that was another situation like it, you know.. its pretty common. =P
no but for real.. what the hell does a 40 year old dad think when he gives his 6 year old son GTA..?

Faith, honestly I'm not surprised. The world is full of idiots bro, I've seen it

In the words of Tommy Lee Jones in the movie Men in Black, "A person is smart, people are dumb."

well yeah people are idiots but you have to note that most of the crap like this happens in the U.S and some in Canada, there's not too many idiots standing out in Europe/Asia/etc.

And that my friend, is why I'm moving to Japan (or Australia).

Lol.. is getting away always the way to solve problems? but hey.. japan looks badass.. i wanna go there someday

It's not a way of solving problems, it's just I feel I'm not meant to stay here. I wanna broaden my outlook on the world.

ah.. yeah. That's a good thing to do.. nothing around here really, and all of the sights people should see throughout their lives are all spread mostly through Europe and Asia
