They Start Young

It is truly the end of the age of innocence isn't it?

Florida police who chased a car for miles along a highway at speeds up to 100 mph figured the driver was drunk. Also not uncommon, the car crashed and flipped over. But this DUI case had a little twist, when they looked inside the flipped vehicle with guns drawn, they found an 11-year-old girl at the wheel.

The girl, who was slightly injured in the crash, is now charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, reckless endangerment and leaving the scene of an accident. Duck said she had sideswiped another vehicle in the roughly 8-mile chase. The kid told police she had been on her way to pick up her sister at a concert. A blood test at the hospital showed it was higher than .02, the legal limit for minors.

I just don't know what to say....
