i just found this article on yahoo news"MIAMI (Reuters) - An 11-year-old girl was charged with drunken driving after leading police on a chase at speeds of up to 100 mph that ended when she flipped the car in an Alabama beach town. ADVERTISEMENT A video camera in the police car captured the look of surprise on the officer's face when he approached the wrecked car and got a look at the motorist.The Mobile Press-Register newspaper said the patrolman saw the Chevrolet Monte Carlo speeding and flashed his lights to signal the driver to stop. Instead, the car sped faster, traveling at up to 100 mph (160 kph) before sideswiping another vehicle and flipping over in the Gulf Coast town of Orange Beach, Alabama, on Tuesday night.The young driver, who lived nearby in Perdido Key, Florida, was treated at a hospital for scrapes and bruises and released to relatives. Police also charged her with speeding, leaving the scene of an accident and reckless endangerment.The car belonged to a relative and police were still trying to find out where she got the alcohol. There was none in the vehicle but her blood alcohol level was over the limit for adult motorists, police told the newspaper."http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/dri...MWM0Fall i have to say is (removed)

Call me twisted, but I think that's funny as heck! If anyone got hurt though, it wouldn't be funny at all. I'm not that twisted.

Wow! She has a great future to look forward to with a start like that. Must have a really messed up family to cause that type of behavior at 11 years old. They should charge her parents for being screw-ups.

I agree that the guardians should be charged with something. This kind of thing should never happen.

yeah thats pretty weird that the charge is a DUI and not because of the age.
