I don’t think my 9 year old even knows how to work my cell phone, but when you have a drunk as a mother, chances are children have to grow up really fast:

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — An 8-year-old boy riding in a car with his mom called 911 several times to report that she wasn’t “acting normal,” leading to her arrest for investigation of drunken driving and other charges, authorities said.

Paulette Lynn Spears, 33, was arrested Saturday after she drove to a fire station and said she had a medical problem.

Guided by her son’s description of what he could see from the car, as well as by global positioning technology to track the phone calls, deputies arrived at the station less than a minute later.

    This is such a wonderful post to remind everyone to follow the law while they are on the road. It is impossible to create a safe journey if there’s a single person who does not follow the rules and ended up risking a lot more of other people lives. Please people, drive careful and try to think ahead to avoid accidents or high risks driving. Think of the people who you love and who love you.
