Grandma Arrested for Driving With 3-Year-Old on Roof for Fun

MARATHON, Fla — Authorities say a grandmother was arrested for driving around the parking lot of a Marathon grocery store with her 3-year-old child sitting on the roof of the car.

Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested a 54-year-old woman after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.

The grandmother was released from jail 15 hours later.

The woman said Thursday she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.

Authorities say the woman told police she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun.

She faces charges of child abuse. The child is back with her mother.

Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking! She was holding on to her leg! What did she think would happen if she did fall...her leg would just be ok and not possibly break? And she was letting her have some air and some fun....TAKE HER TO THE PARK!!!!!

Question Weirdo!

I saw this article too! Very stunning! I can't even imagine why she would even think this had anything to do with fun! Something could have seriously gone wrong...I am so glad the police saw and stopped her! I feel sorry for her granddaughter.

Her intentions were good and no one was hurt... I guess that's the main thing. There are some sadistic people out there doing much more horrible things. I'm sure the lady has learnt her lesson!
