LIVINGSTON, La. (AP) -- The mother and aunt of a legally blind 10-year-old boy were booked on cruelty charges after briefly leaving him on the side of a highway because he was misbehaving, a sheriff's spokesman said
.............
Investigators found the boy had actually been dropped off as punishment. The van traveled a short distance down the highway before the mother got out and retrieved him, Ard said. It was unclear exactly how long the child was out of the car but Ard said Friday it was probably only a few minutes.
I've threatened to put my kids out of the car many times. No, I've never actually done it, but I have thought about it many times.
I guess it's a good thing that I never did. Of course, my kids aren't legally blind, and I can see how that would pose an additional danger to the child.
