Police said the boy is not facing charges, but his mother could face an investigation by the Department of Social Services.
The child drove nearly two miles before stopping. Both children are OK, but police said they hope the story serves as a lesson to others.
The mother frantically called 911, saying she gave her 8-year-old son the keys to her SUV and that he was missing. In the 911 call, the mother said she was unsure if the child took off in the car or if someone else had stolen the vehicle with her children inside. Officers spotted the vehicle a short time later and got the child to stop safely. They said the roads he traveled are high traffic areas in the city, and the situation “could have ended in tragedy.”
The boy’s mom said her son accidentally put the vehicle in reverse when he started it, and he got scared when the SUV started moving. He then put it in drive.
