Like Father, Like Son? I Hope Not

A Clio, Michigan police officer, checking on a truck that got stuck in the mud at a city park, was startled to find a 13-year-old boy behind the wheel. The boy’s father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, told police he had had too much to drink and let his son drive.  Now here’s the kicker – Police said the boy had been drinking, too.

I guess parental supervision isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, eh?

This story is just so bad on so many levels, I don’t know where to begin.  I think we all make mistakes in the margin, but this one is a no-brainer.  Literally.

Am I being too harsh?
