As if it isn’t bad enough to be driving around with your 2-year-old not in a car seat, one brainiac then even let her kid stick her head out of the sunroof.
Deborah Devino is charged with reckless endangerment and operating a motor vehicle with a child unrestrained.
Police say a witness saw Devino get gas at a station on Rubber Avenue and drive away with the toddler standing in the car. The witness wrote down Devino’s license plate number and called police.
Police say Devino told them she allows her daughter to stand and put her head out of the sunroof because she likes to look at the sky.

An Aurora, Colorado high school student with cerebral palsy is being hit with a number of charges because he allegedly ran over a girl’s feet with his wheelchair. The story doesn’t say if the girl suffered anything more than minor injuries — charging him with assault and battery seems a little extreme, doesn’t it?
Seventeen-year-old Joshua Martinez is accused of assault and battery and reckless endangerment for running over a girl’s toes in the hall.
The female student told the school nurse Martinez ran over her foot and her family wants to press charges.
Martinez says he does not remember the incident.
Witnesses told Aurora Police that Martinez drives his wheelchair very fast and bumps into people. He also sometimes rides up on two wheels.
