@@arielsea9087 That's minimal (only due to taking the mom's car & parents' money), but other than that she *knew* products at Target costed money. And they said she had $400 to spend at Target. The only reason I say "minimal" is because she didn't steal anything from Target like some others might have done so if they might not have been taught "right from wrong," at a very early age. This doesn't excuse the fact she shouldn't have done that in the first place, but the only people she's essentially stealing from her parents. So her parents' are going to have a long talk w/her after that incident if they hadn't already and she does to some level have the mental capacity to learn and grow from it.

Praising an 8 year old who has the ability to steal a car, steal money and put people’s lives at risk driving is not praise worthy.

Was she even frightened, at all? 5. If she caused injury, death, would the parents still be let off without repercussions? 6. Did no one see a child walking throughout a store with hundreds of dollars in her hand, making at least 1 purchase & immediately become alarmed…ask her where her parents/guardians were?!

55 years ago, when I was 3, my friend Pamela, who was also 3 and I rode our tricycles to Dars Variety (5 and dime) without telling our moms. we rode about 3 miles across town. we parked our trikes out front and went in to shop. we likely had two bits or so in our purses, but I am pretty sure my parents had an account we could have charged our purchases to. Anyway, the store manager saw us and didn't think anything of it until our moms didn't show up. The Safeway was next door and it was not uncommon for me to go to Dars while mom shopped with my little brother. Well eventually the store manager called my mom and when my mom answered the manager asked her if she knew that Pamela and I were at the store shopping. Of course she didn't. Oh Lord, I miss "the good old days". We were glad to get a ride home because the way back was uphill. I don't recall getting in trouble, but then I was 3. 😂

I’m over here kinda giggling, but then I think about my 15 year old twins driving me along with a legal permit which terrifies me enough, so I’m not giggling so much 😳

[@JimLambier]

When my 16 year old started driving, I wasn't too worried until he assured me that his skills from Mario Cart would make him a good driver.

The Frappuccino is the worst thing she did for herself

[@timmyjones1921]

She the 8 year old is lucky, weaving in and out of lanes and she had a angel with her being it was not rush hour or higher time traffic on this route to Wal-Mart.

[@maha_sage]

She needs to be grounded

[@itsmelaura1533]

"Without incident" except for that mailbox she demolished!! Then the cops treat her like a little princess and allow her to finish her drink and forced Target to return money she spent! Un-fugging-believable! not the least bit funny!

[@carmenburnham1088]

Agree! It’s hard to read others comments patting the kid on the back and giving her kudos. What the heck?

[@EM-mw2qr]

This story is not funny AT ALL. How they're chuckling while showing the video with music playing in the background I don't know.

[@BruceD-z8b]

It’s all ridiculous! CONSEQUENCES NOT PRAISE!!!!

Grounded? The parents will be lucky if the girl isn't taken by CPS.

Ummm. It’s easy to laugh, but you all need to consider CPS should probably investigate the family.

[@Emmacale]

This 8 year old driveing meanwhile me scrared to even be in the drivers seat😢

[@rhondastiers3261]

There are other ways she could have learned to drive…child size battery operated Mini cars that are made for kids could have helped her learn to drive. Although she looked like she was having a little trouble seeing over the front of the car.

[@bayboy1967]

To be honest it’s a lot of adults drive this way.

[@alleycat616]

I can’t even imagine the mental state of an 8 year old that would do this. Truly crazy!!!

[@Msterri4u]

I didn’t learn how to drive until I was 17 and she did a lot better than me. Lol

[@normhal4908]

I've never read where the little girl got $400 dollars from to spend at the store.

[@wendysaslow8631]

They said it in a few news reports, but not all of them.

[@jungwonscactus9425]

Since no one has told you, she stole it from her momma

[@jheanelltabana8713]

She took the car without permission. I'm guessing taking things of others is not a problem for this kid, so whoever she got it from might not be accountable. It could have also been hers. Like birthday/Christmas money set aside on her behalf, that she decided she can use how/when she wants bc it's hers. I don't think it matters that much; even if she had complete autonomy of the money, that's no excuse to drive the car.

[@marysheffield190]

If this had been my kid, she would be grounded until 16….. no exceptions! Like they said, what if she hit another car and killed them, or hit a pedestrian? I’m sure the parents are cringing with embarrassment knowing how the final outcome could’ve been.

[@BruceD-z8b]

I hear ya! Idve done the same. 0 consequences. She’s probably getting praised about it. Insane…..😡

I work in early childhood development.... Let's do this experiment with your children as young as three or four.... Or grandchild.... The next time they're in your vehicle ask them.... Show me how to get home? They will point and try and tell you which way to go and you will be amazed... They will get you home! Lol

No. There is a starbucks inside most Targets these days.

Does this girl have anyone paying attention to her? An 8 y.o. has keys to the car and $400 to spend at a store 35 minutes away from her home. I'd go to parenting classes if I was that negligent.

[@bentucker2301]

A great advert for manual cars...

[@mtadams2009]

When I was a kid my mother used to take me driving. I never took the car alone though. I was maybe 12 when my driving lessons started. This was common back in the day.

[@Uchiha409]

There’s just two persons that could likely taught her to steer a car “her parents” but she is incredibly good to say the least…

[@highhorseofcourse]

This is to the lady reporter: You do NOT have to be a parent to feel anxious and frightened by the dangers an 8 yr old driving a vehicle. WE all were feeling the same anout this story. AND your baby doll dress is much too young for a mother like you to be wearing.

[@KokoMoorad]

this comment is so weird did she dump you or something 😂 so many angry ppl I can’t stop laughing

[@ajvintage9579]

I wouldn’t shame her for wearing a short dress because she’s a mother. That’s sexist and silly. I do feel like that dress doesn’t flatter her body type though.

[@Beatrice-e3m]

Terrible. What goes on in that house?

[@apriltorres3684]

I wouldn't allow my 8 year daughter anywhere with a car until she's 16. I might even have the police arrest my daughter and make her stay locked up for a few hours. I don't think I would want her to have a court case but at the same time I hope she had learned a lesson. I'm so glad that this child was caught and hopefully she doesn't try to do this dangerous stunt again.

i'm the mom of a 9-year-old. this video had me cracking up. i was taught how to drive at 8, but i was too scared of my parents to do anything like this. good thing i haven't taught my 9-year-old how to drive, because she would absolutely pull this 😭 different temperament

[@bapalways8565]

It could have been a tragedy but it is unbelievable that she did so well for her age. It goes to show once our mind it made up we don’t care about the consequences. She felt she needed to do that and so she did. Maybe she should go down in history!! It wrong but insanely remarkable to know of the accomplishments. Kudos to the officers who allow her to complete her drink. 👍
