CASEVILLE, Mich. -- A 7-year-old Michigan boy barefoot and in pajamas drove a car for 20 miles, sometimes hitting speeds of 50 mph, before finally slowing down and stopping with the help of authorities.
"He was crying and just kept saying he wanted to go to his dad's," Caseville Police Chief Jamie Learman said. "That was pretty much it. He just wanted to go to his dad's."
Police began looking for the Pontiac Sunfire around 10:15 a.m. Monday after someone called about a very young driver. The boy was staying with his mother in Huron County's Sheridan Township, a rural area 110 miles north of Detroit. She had worked the night shift and was unaware her son and the car were gone.
The boy had hoped to drive to his father's home in Filion, also in northern Michigan. Police pulled him over in Caseville Township, some 15 miles to the west.

How did he manage to get the keys? Just goes to show that you can never be too careful.
I understand little man.
too bad he didnt take out a couple low-income houses
Been there done that but it was to pick up my sister from another town and I dreadfully missed her. I put sun glasses and a hair scarf on, got gas at the local gas station, and the owner thought I was my mom. I was 12 though and made it.
Aww, poor little guy. Glad no one was hurt, including him.
shouldve shot out the tires!
