Grandma Busted For Driving With Kid On Car

54-Year-Old Florida Woman Says She Was Only Letting Granddaughter Have Fun

(AP)  Authorities say a grandmother was arrested for driving around the parking lot of a Marathon grocery store with her 3-year-old grandchild sitting on the roof of the car.

Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested 54-year-old Brenda Bouschet after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.

Bouschet was released from jail 15 hours later.

Bouschet 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 Bouschet 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.

If it was all in fun, I''d let granny off with a stern warning -

[extremophil]

Grandma of the year.

[makemyday2da]

All in fun?! It''s idiotic - and dangerous. It''s a three-year-old! Take the kid to Disney World - or the local park for FUN!

[redbds]

This is the same kind of stuff we used to do when I was a kid. Man how times have changed. I could not even imagine doing something like that today. I guess a lot of the stuff I did when I was a kid would get me (or someone else) into a lot of trouble today.

YANK Those grandma rights... stupid stupid

[cdegolier]

What does "shuddup" mean? Do you mean "Shut Up" and just have spelling difficulties? We are raising a society that can''t spell and think driving while a three year old sits on a car is okay. Whether or not the child was hurt it is still not okay to do, never has been, never will be. But if the kid was to have fallen the parents would have probably sued the grocery store.

gram driving car with grandkid on car..FL is odd. Grankid is is to be in the car belted in when car in driven. Ye don''t put a child on car. I am 53. That lady knew better. Never on the roof..Never,

[mandalay-bay]

Hey! The 3 year old was just trying to "ghost ride the whip"

[makemyday2da]

Amen,cdgolier!! DaVicar2 is a ''loose screw''. I lost a teenage cousin years ago who fell from the hood of a car driven at "snail speed".

WHY DONT YOU JUMP ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR AND LETS GIVE IT A TRY...

[snoopy28173]

What on earth was grandma thinking? Even a small bump from another car could have sent this child through the air and onto the ground. This is absurd for anyone, especially and adult who suppoedly went to drivers ed once in her life.

[psk123-2009]

Is it just me or are people becoming more nuts than ever? It seems that common sense has become a bit of a rarity.

[libsluv2spit]

it could had been one of those ''borat'' shows or ''jackarse''..the liberal media conditions society to accept thsi type of pranks as cool and accepted.

i''d have to see the circumstances but all i know as a kid we rode around in open jeeps and standing up in pick-up truck beds through fields and it has a blast city kids can''t imagine.. guess what, we hung on and no one ever got hurt.

[eliasnews]

Anybody with a brain would have duct taped one of those kiddie chairs to the roof and then strapped the kid in nice and securely.
I wonder if immigrants had something to do with this. She was driving a Lexus! Maybe this is another reason to send ''them'' back to where they came from.

There''s a never ending supply of stupid people.

[patriot12436]

A friend of mine who had a 17 year old son riding in back of pickup truck. The driver was not paying attention, ran off the road and a stop sign decapitated my friends 17 year old son. A vehicle is never a toy. Adults are supposed to use common sense.

I''d lay odds that those guys on jackarse, as you so rightly name it, are republicans. They''re too stupid to be liberals.

Where does it say the car was a Lexus?

[crazycwp]

Sounds like Granny was off her meds that day!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cfin5]

Story reminds me of one told me years ago about my Uncle having to sit on the front fender of Grandpa''s Model T to direct his steering by saying "left" or "right" going down the road because the fog was so thick. Did pretty good till he messed up in what he meant to say. He told Grandpa to go left,..Left,...LEFT! He meant to say "right". Put it right in the ditch with him on the fender. The walk the rest of the way home "left" him thoroughly, through Grandpa''s colorful verbal communication abilities, unconfused about giving him the "right" directions :)
