PLAIN CITY, Utah -- Police in Utah say a 7-year-old boy led officers on a car chase in an effort to avoid going to church.

VIDEO: Little boy steals car

Dispatchers received reports of a child driving recklessly on Sunday morning. Weber County Sheriff's Capt. Klint Anderson says one witness said the boy drove through a stop sign.

at 7 years old I can see having the thought....now having the cahones, to actually pull it off... got to give the kid credit.

B-b-b-b-bad...to the bone!

The police told dad to keep his keys out of the kids’ reach. I’m betting lots will be out of this kid’s reach for awhile. Bet he’s grounded Big Time!

When I ponder the output of our music ministry, I know how the kid feels.

For a 7-year old, he drives pretty good- not good when passing some stop signs, red lights & driving without a license.

“Bet he’s grounded Big Time!”

Unlikely, that seven year old had lots of practice driving a car (look at the video). His “driving course” likely involved his parents as primary enablers. This is a great example of child endangerment. I would not be surprised to find that the parents get hauled into court to explain to a judge as to why there child was so adept at driving a car around town. If it’s found that the parents “educated” their child on this, I’d be quite comfortable with some jail time, or a substantial fine came out of it. Some adults, are less responsible than their kids.

In Omen 1, the infant Damien has a major freakout when his adoptive parents, played by Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, try to take him to church. Life imitates art?

He aged fast!

Whatever happened to sleeping in the back pews?

question of the day - what church?!

Every so often, a headline makes you stop and look – like "7 year old steals car!" He decided to skip church and go for a joy ride in a stolen vehicle. It’s somehow amazing since at his young age he could drive a car. He managed to find a parking lot and turn around and head home. The further comedy is that he began a police chase, wherein officers tried to stop the tyke – but he eluded them. After the news of 7 year old steals car broke, it's good to know the kid won't need no fax payday loans for bail.
