According to a report by The Washington Times, a trouble-making 3-year-old boy from Oregon hopped into his family’s Jeep Wrangler. After somehow putting the gear into neutral, he drove down the street, through an intersection and eventually crashed into a neighbor’s house. The tiny toddler then proceeded to hop out of the car, trot on home and plop himself in front of the television for some cartoons. While this story sounds more like something from The Onion, it is legitimate.
Luckily there were no injuries from the incident, and the police found the boy in just his diaper, sitting on his couch and watching cartoons “as if nothing had ever happened” according to The Washington Times. The child’s family settled in a “civil compromise” with the regards to the damages done to their neighbor’s home.
Brennan Pennington, a 22-year-old relative was supposed to be babysitting the daredevil, but he had fallen asleep. The caretaker was cited for failing to supervise a child, according to the Oregon police station report. It sounds like it’s time to get a new babysitter.
