Riding on car trunk causes kids injuries

Talk about bad parenting.

Four children were injured, one seriously, when an “allegedly” intoxicated mom in Crowley, Texas drove home with her kids on the trunk of the car.

According to police, Kisha Young was charged with a DUI last week after kids ranging in age from eight to 14, fell from the car trunk as she drove them home from a local pool.

Another mom in the car was unharmed, along with two other kids hanging on to the trunk.

Why were the kids on the trunk?

Because Ms. Young didn’t want their wet bathing suits to mess up her car’s interior.  (Responsible people let the kids dry off a bit and then put towels on the seats, but what’s the fun in that…).

Even worse, if possible, when Young took a curve to fast and the kids fell from the trunk, she kept driving and didn’t know anything had happened until she got to the end of the block, according to witnesses.

Four of the kids required treatment at a local hospital.

A 12 year old is still in the hospital due to a serious head injury.

Young is currently in Crowley jail on $110,000 bail and is charged with two felonies – injury to a child and driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old.
