The grandparents of a
7-year-old girl gave her a car ride Sunday, but sheriff's deputies say
there were two major problems: they towed the girl in a plastic car
behind their SUV, and the driver of the vehicle was drunk while they
towed her.
Paul J. Berloni, 49, of the 3300 block of Clark Road East in
Sarasota, is charged with driving under the influence, child
endangerment and driving with a suspended license. Sheriff's deputies
say he has been convicted three times prior for DUI.
Belinda Jean
Berloni, 47, of the same address, faces a child endangerment charge.
Deputies say the granddaughter was not injured.
At about 4:30 p.m.
Sunday, a deputy eastbound on Clark Road reportedly saw the SUV on a
parallel access road near Rockefeller Avenue. The SUV was pulling a
plastic Hot Wheels car with a girl dressed in a swimsuit but wearing no
protective gear such as a helmet. The toy car was tied to a trailer
hitch with two dog leashes. The deputy estimated the SUV's speed at 5 to
10 mph.

Idiots!
OMG! Of course, there are numerous occurences of this throughout the U.S. that go safely and unnoticed every day with no harm done. Just THINK first!
Bet it was the time of the kids life. Stupid nanny state we live in today, oh, the poor,poor, children the call goes out.
I have kids and don't want to see any kid hurt. Soon though, no fun will be had by anyone on account of 'oh the humanity what could happen'. The feminisation of America.
