...Latarian Milton is not your typical 7-year-old. Few his age have ever driven an SUV up and down several busy streets. It all started at his mother's townhouse.
Latarian said he took the car keys and hopped into his grandmother's Dodge Durango....
"I took my grandmother's car because I got mad at my mom. And I saw my friend come in and he smoke cigarettes. He started the vehicle and put it into gear. I yanked. I yanked it. I yanked the thing and off they went," Latarian said.
Latarian drove several miles through Lake Park and Palm Beach Gardens.
"We got the one call that I told you about of a driver in the vehicle who looked too short to see over the steering wheel," said Ellen Lovejoy, Palm Beach Gardens Police Department.
Along the way, he ran over two mailboxes, hit two park cars in a Costco parking lot and struck two moving cars near a Wal-Mart.
"I wanted to do it because it's fun, fun to do bad things, to drive into a car," Latarian said. "I wanted to do hood rat stuff with my friend."
It all ended on Investment Lane and Consumer Drive. That's where Latarian hit the curb and sideswiped a sign. The SUV took most of the beating, snapping off one of its axels and wheels.
"I want to whip his behind. That's what I want to do right now. If I thought they wouldn't take me to jail, I'd whip his behind right now," Stratford said.
Latarian was charged with grand theft auto, but investigators said he probably won't be prosecuted.

"He was a quiet boy. It seemed like he was getting his life in order. We're all so shocked by this." -- Wait, I think you have to be 17 or 18 before those cliches get used.
Maybe we can fall back on "Kids do the darndest things!"

Liberals would call that “child abuse”.
Prov 22:15: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.”
has become
“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but a timeout shall drive it far from him.”

I yanked. I yanked it. I yanked the thing and off they went," This could be taken out of context.
