Woman has child ride in a box on the roof of her car

Maybe you’ve already heard this, but wow. I have no idea why I feel this is worth putting on my blog.

ALBERTVILLE, Ala. — An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van. Albertville Police spokesman Sgt. Jamie Smith said the 37-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after police received a call about a minivan on a state highway with a child riding on top. Smith said the woman told police the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down. Smith said the mother told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.

Because the girl is OK, I’ve moved beyond shock to wondering what John Stewart or Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) would do with this story.
