Family needs designated driver

[Jaded]

Indiana state police said that after a mother was arrested for drunken driving, the three relatives who came to pick up her 1-year-old son also had all been drinking.

A state trooper stopped a minivan for speeding early Saturday on U.S. 30 in Schererville in northwestern Indiana. He arrested the 24-year-old woman on drunken driving charges.

The boy's father arrived later to pick him up, but officers determined he was intoxicated and also arrested him on a drunken driving charge.

Police said the boy's grandparents then arrived. Both of them also had been drinking, state police said, but the grandmother who was driving was not over the legal limit, so officers escorted them home with the child.

I'm sure we'll read about this family again in a few years. When the kid gets old enough to see over the steering wheel, they'll have their designated driver.

From the sound of this family, I doubt it. The kid will probably be drinking long before 16.

I come from a family of alcoholics and not suprisingly I was drinking at an early age. I separated myself from then at age 17 when I became pregnant because I didn't want mychildren to grow up like that. I don't drink anymore either.

The whole damn family needs to go on an AA retreat.

Oh my this baby may need more help than just driving him home. Oh, I hope not! Damn, I need a drink :).

Well....I can certainly see where the problem lies....poor kid doesn't stand a chance. Might as well put Bud Light in it's bottle...oh wait...they probably ALREADY do that.
