Grandma arrested for driving with child on roof    
MARATHON, Fla. - Authorities say a grandmother was arrested for driving around the parking lot of a Marathon grocery store with her 3-year-old child sitting on the roof of the car.
 
Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested a 54-year-old woman after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.

The grandmother was released from jail 15 hours later.  The woman said Thursday she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.  Authorities say the woman told police she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun.  She faces charges of child abuse. The child is back with her mother.

Nahh, that's nothing, really. My folks would strap me to the front of the car in order to catch all the flies and mosquitoes en route to town.  :wink: :twirl:

Bah, this soccer mom world scares me sometimes. I remember the good old days when I used to surf on the top of Eddie Polimoreno's Edsel down dead-man's curve... Now a little girl can't even ride on the top of a station wagon with her grandma holding on to her ankle, I tell ya.... :bluesad:

What was she thinking? Grandma should have known to stick to doing such things in the privacy of her own back 40.  More fun too - all those bumps!

A kid that age should be learning to respect motor vehicles. They're not toys.
Vehicular horseplay is for teenagers.  :teddyr:
