Three-Year-old Takes Joy Ride Atop Grandma’s Lexus

Whatever your worst nightmare is when you leave your kids
with Grandma, it can’t be worse than this.
A 54-year-old grandmother in the Florida
Keys was arrested and jailed after she was spotted driving her
Lexus around a parking lot with her three-year-old granddaughter on top of it.
According to deputies, Brenda Bouschet (pictured) said “she was just giving the child some air and letting her have fun.” She also said she had one hand out the window, holding the child’s leg, and that she was driving at “snail-speed.” Bouschet seemed genuinely surprised to learn of laws requiring children to be in car seats, and, uh, not on the roof of a moving vehicle.
Although Bouschet has been released from jail, she faces
child abuse charges. Her claims that she would never “let anything” hurt her granddaughter seem genuine, but her behaviour was frighteningly reckless.
What do you think? Should be Grandma be let off the hook?
