At four-years-old, many children still can't ride a bike, but one Kentucky boy took it one step further.
The Lincoln County boy wanted to go to his grandmother's house, so he took the car keys and his little brother and left.
It happened on Saturday on Maxi Ridge Road in Lincoln County.
Sheriff Curt Folger says the boy took off while his mother and her boyfriend were asleep. The Sheriff says the boy got in the car, adjusted the seat and somehow got the car turned around.
The four-year-old didn't make it very far, crashing the car through a fence and some trees. Neither boy was hurt in the crash.
The Sheriff says when the boy's mother's boyfriend, Douglas Bell, got to the scene he was upset and made a move like he was going to hurt the boy or a deputy. Bell was arrested and charged with menacing.
The boy's mother has been reported to child protective services in Jessamine County where she lives.

thanks for all of u people who realize this is not all it seems to be. the "boyfriend" is my brother and he would not hurt a child even if in this case the child did need a spanking to make sure it did not happen again. i said spanking not beating. children never get spanked nowadays, is that maybe a sign of all of this child crime running rampant. not necessarily 2 or 4 year olds but it starts somewhere. my sister and i put other comments on here when this first happened but they did not get printed. how convenient.

I'm not sure what the situation is here, but it's something my kid would do. My son is very bright and determined and those children are often the hardest to deal with (but also a joy as well - the questions they ask are priceless). My son knows how to creep out of bed to get into things without waking my husband and I - and I imagine these kids do as well. I think the people complaining here are childless or never tried raising a child with a high IQ.
