Boy,10, arrested for driving off in parents SUV in a snit

I chose this article because i thought it was crazy and i didn't know 10 year old's could drive. A 10-year-old boy took his parents' SUV for a joyride that came to a crashing end. Zilan Fitch became angry after he was punished so he decided to take his mother's SUV. The Montgomery County boy's mother said she panicked when she looked out her window Wednesday at 9:10 a.m. and saw her son backing out of their driveway. "By the time I got down to the driveway, he's down the street,". She hopped into another vehicle and followed Zilan down Rayford Road. She said he was staying in his lane and even used his turn signals. She tired stopping him but he would floor it. She called police for help. Zilan would not stop driving on the busy street during rush hour. He even led deputies on a chase.He was hit from behind at a stop light but he still kept going. He finally stopped at a doughnut shop. No one was injured. He was charged with a felony  unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and  was taken to juvenile detention but was released to his family.
