Parents Behaving Badly

Police Find Kids in Trunk, Parents Arrested:

Why do some people continue to think that the trunk of a car is a safe place for kids to ride during a trip?

Anyway in Bedford County, Virginia police arrested Dwayne and Conchita Spurlock and Armentha Kennedy. There were 9 people on the car with 3 kids, ages 13, 9, and 11, in the trunk. They claim they were on the way home from a family reunion and that they were using two cars but one broke down. Oh, well i guess that makes it ok then.

Here’s a thought if you can’t take everybody without putting someone in the trunk MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T GO!!!

Thanks to Cynthia for the tip.

Julie sends us this story of an Oregon man traveling on vacation with his fiancée and their 4 kids, two of them (12 and 14) riding in the trunk.

Apparently this man was too cheap to rent a larger vehicle or travel in two cars. Both would have been my choice over throwing my kids in the trunk.

I guess the couple thought pulling up to a gas station and letting your two kids out of the trunk wouldn’t look too suspicious. Well, it did…and someone called the cops on them.

By the time the cops caught up with them, the kids had been traveling in the trunk for over 20 miles.

Back in high school I knew some kids that would do this. We knew it was a bad idea back then. If only there was someone with high school level intelligence around to tell them this was a bad idea.
