A two-year old and a five year old from Federal Way, Washington in the US wanted to visit their grandma, so without telling anyone they got into their mum’s Ford SUV, started it and drove away!

 

When they got to intersection they hit another car, but thankfully no one was seriously injured.

 

The Federal Way Police Department shared images of the car with the caption, “DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?? What happens when a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old want to go and visit grandma without telling anyone. Thank goodness no one was seriously injured when the children drove into an intersection and t-boned another vehicle.

 

“It sounded like an explosion went off,” neighbour Annemarie Warren told reporters. “I hold the kids both in their hands and I said, ‘Where’s your mom?’ ’Sleeping. I want to go to my grandma’s house’.”



 

The story has prompted many commenters to call for no judgement for the kids’ parents.

 

“I can easily imagine this happening. I have 2 daughters, and one was very fast, and dangerous,” said one. “Kids at this age have no concept of danger. Everything is easy and fun. The parents may simply have been exhausted from working and taking care of their children.”

 

While another added:  “I could see my grandson doing that. Before he came into our lives I would have been the first to ask where the parents were. Some of these kids are fast.”
