Comments on: Cops: Girl, 11, Drove 100 MPH While Drunk

Girl Charged With DUI After Leading Alabama Police On High-Speed Chase

[michellem99-2009]

Oh,Randy,I was told that and being 11,I learnt my clohes by touch and couldn't see to match my outfits. I was told it was a training bra,that means a girl's fisrt bra. A sport bra is sometimes called that and yes it supports the breasrts and the back. The idea was to get me used wearing it. A rite of passage to becoming a young lady.I hated it then as I was flat chested then I needed it. I went to an A cup soon after and still that at 52.
I know a child is a minor from birth to 18. I know some states will grant notice Grant him/her a license to drive a senior/disable parent their caregiver if they can pass it to store,Dr when that adult is there with child otherwise they can't drive. It is small towns with no bus systems. I know they did grant this to a boy who would have to wait to 16 but due partents health issues waived it so he was the family driver. I knew the kid.

there's a legal limit for minors????

probably needed a drink to "face traffic with confidence"

[akpals]

I can't wait to hear the parents' excuse for this one.

[marlenehays]

What I want to know, where were her parents and how was this child able to have access to everything? This is so unacceptable that a child can even think of these things. The children need to be taken away from an environment where they learn how to be BAD,BAD. NO Hope. Growing-up to be evil!!!

Now, being she's 11, won't her court records be sealed? She has no drivers license for the offenses to be recorded against. I bet she gets her permit on time with all the other DWI 16yr olds

A training bra. I was flat chected. It was the same with skirts. I wore girl's slacks-I wore braces to walk then. I was pissed and I gave my Foster Mum a hard time over cloths at 11.

Not to be too off color, but I never understood why they're called training bras? I mean, what in the world are the breasts/bras training for?

michelle,

A person is a minor until the age of 18, the driving age, is typically 16. KY has a law which I like. In KY you can only get a permit at 16 which you have for a year, if you are a high school grad this stipulation is waived and you may be licensed at 16.

[michellem99-2009]

I think the only time a minor can get a license is if the parent is disabled and that child can pass the tests to be the driver to transport him/her to limited places.

[djmo1-2009]

newster,

I am not sure about AL but many states if you are caught even driving without a license, not to mention; DWI, Fleeing The Scene of an Accident, Failure to Stop... She may not be able to obtain a drivers license until she is 21 in that state.

[michellem99-2009]

I was her age and the battle was over wearing a bra. That may sound dumb. I was aa cup so I was not gonna wear a sissie thing, I was a tom boy. I played army what ever my foster brothers played.i was not goting to wear it. TO this day I don't know how the battle was won. A training bra. I was flat chected. It was the same with skirts. I wore girl's slacks-I wore braces to walk then. I was pissed and I gave my Foster Mum a hard time over cloths at 11.

"have a funny feeling she can kiss her driver's license bye-bye, and if she is awarded one when she is of age then "

CLue; they did not release her identity because she is a minor, juvenile offenses are usualy SEALED and not available. The DMV and insurance company she chooses someday will have NO idea about this crime, and for that matter- neither will the other drivers on the road around her, nice eh? keep the juv's name secret so no one can protect themselves.

"The girl rolled the car just inside the Gulf Shores city limit."

That's interesting. It appears that she thought she could get away by leaving Florida and entering Alabama. I don't know what the law is but apparently the Florida cop was able to at least detain her in Alabama.

So on top of the drinking & driving & eluding police at age eleven she also has come up with backup plans if she's chased!

[kennergirl]

The thought of why an 11 year old girl would be driving at 10:30 pm at night to pick up her sister from a concert is unbelievable enough and then ontop of that she was DUI? When I was 11 I was playing with Barbie dolls still...my how times have changed.

[michellem99-2009]

Some body messed up. The foster homes are worse than their own home they were removed. But we don't know why the child drank and drove.snidergrass love yer post as it is honest and to a tee.In Maine if a minor is served beer/booze jail time for adult.

[djmo1-2009]

honest_news,

In most states a minor is DWI with any presence of alcohol in the system, in AL looks like they give a em a little break at .02

[grammawhamma]

I'm assuming a kid can have a .02 or lower blood alcohol from taking cough syrup so anything over that means they were drinking more then cough syrup. Just a guess.

[djmo1-2009]

How did this happen? "Hey Put My Beer Down And Go Get Your Sister!" Clearly she has some experience behind the wheel or she is a quick study. I would wager social work services will be busy with all of the issues at hand. Kind of funny. I am not sure if the Fleeing the Scene of Accident would stick. Would an intoxicated 11yr old really be expected to stop and render proper notification?

[likeitis5050]

snidegrass ??????????????????????????????? Put the pipe down.

[likeitis5050]

She a juvie. Nothing will happen to her. Lock up the guardians.

[honest_news]

"Duck declined to release the girl's blood alcohol level but said a blood test at the hospital showed it was higher than .02, the legal limit for minors."

Someone please explain to me how this sentence makes any sense. The legal limit for minors for what? Driving a car? Consumption of alcohol?

I realize they do things very differently in Alabama, but not this different!
