Lots of kids have sat on dad’s lap and “steered” the car, especially back in the day when most people didn’t wear seat belts.
Even though dad’s hands were also on the wheel it was still reckless, and it’s probably one of those yesteryear traditions that is best left in the past.
Kwaniqua Glenn has taken the tradition a little bit further – handing the seat and the wheel over to her 7 year-old.
I’m not seeing the point of letting this kid drive other than thinking she was going to make him an internet star. Well, the video went viral—

PIX11- Kwaniqua Glenn, 34, is accused of video-recording the boy driving while she was in the passenger seat.
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to the video on social media by a school resource officer who saw it and recognized the child as a student at the school to which he’s assigned, deputies said. They said she met the boy at his bus stop and told him to get behind the wheel and drive through the neighborhood.
Investigators think the driving incident happened sometime around Sept. 20 in unincorporated Altamonte Springs. Based on viewing the video, deputies estimate that the boy drove for about .3 to .4 mile at an average speed of about 29 mph during one .2-mile stretch.
No property was damaged and no one was injured.
Glenn was arrested Thursday morning and was charged with child neglect.

One handed driving too. The mother is a genius.
Elephants are much easier to steer.
Poor kid doesn’t stand a chance.
Next thing you know he’ll be driving for UBER!
One handed driving PLUS the dumb bitch doesn’t know how to hold her phone when recording.
A million years ago, when I was on the road to early retirement, I thought I’d open an inner city gym down in Sac Town and teach kids like this the discipline of Iron. Ironically a Halfrican put a big ass stop to that.
Ok, probably not a good idea if you’re on an actual road, but I was driving my grandpa’s tractor when I was about 8 and it wasn’t just to have fun. Farm kids know why farmers have so many children — we’re not all expected to survive. I’ve even (gasp!) put my daughter on my lap and let her “steer” (with my hands on the wheel) the last two secluded blocks to our house. No harm, no foul.
Which one stole the car?
she just be gettin’ him ready for his gang-bangin’ future, know what i’s sayin’
sistyugler1, Damn what a racist thing to say. Hang on, I’m still laughing.
“How am I supposed to get home when I’m high on crack?”
Kwaniua Glenn beats Schannankque– Ali. Glenn. And the dash ain’t silent bee uch.
I’d like to hear that tale BB
MM, Seems like a millions years ago. We ever meet I’ll buy you a beer and spin you a tale.
She was grooming him to drive around voters to different districts.
You really have to commend Kwaniqua for teaching the kid a marketable skill that he can use in da hood, that as a getaway driver. Its good that she starts him at 7 because he only has another 10 years at best because he’ll be dead or in prison..
Leave her alone. Arrest the school resource officer for busybodiness.
Then there’s this Chinese kid who throws around a bulldozer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Rh5pzOftc

Kid drives better with one hand than most people I know 5x older that use both.
Look, when the stop sign was coming, I started stomping the phantom brakes in the floor under my computer desk. I understand she should have taken the kid to a farm or an abandoned offroad area or unused parking lot if she wanted do this. After all, where else do the 7-year old children of farmers learn how to operate the heavy equipment? Putting the kid behind the wheel at the bus stop in a residential area is beyond teh dum. Yes, it’s a stupid yesteryear tradition, yet also one we’ve likely all done at least once ourselves, perhaps under very similar circumstances.
Don’t we have bigger fish to fry? Don’t the police have bigger fish to fry? How many people were being mugged, robbed, beaten, or property destroyed when the cops were busy prosecuting this nonsense? Spending a night in jail and paying a fine is going to do absolutely nothing to make this woman a better mother. Cops should have just verbally dressed her down in that powertripping cop way that they all do and reallocated the rest of their time to something of much greater significance. Not everything needs a citation. Now where’s my kimchi?
With a name like “Kwaniqua”, you just knew she wasn’t a rocket scientist.
Apparently, she doesn’t even speak English.
KWANIQUA?……..WTF?
Moe Tom………you seem to be in a better mood today.
At least the little bastard wasn’t texting. Mom training him to drive with his left hand so he can be shooting his 9 mill to pop some ass as he does his drive by shootings.
4 thoughts:
1. Not his first time. Obviously. She’s a repeat offender.
2. Had to use one hand because the other arm was propping him forward to see over the wheel.
3. 10-1 odds the most sober person in the car was driving.
4. I HATE when people repeat the video when they post one. Argh
Gotta say, my mom used to let me steer from the passenger seat in the residential area, when I was barely a teen. Of course, it was a saner, less nosy world then.
