Four Kids Strapped To Hood And Taken On Drunken Joyride... BY PARENTS

And today's kid story is brought to you from Fort Wayne, Indiana:

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Two Fort Wayne parents have been charged after police said they drove their car with their four children strapped to the hood Monday.

Jessica Clark, 29, and Aaron Stefanski, 29, were both charged with neglect of a dependent.

That's right, strapped to the hood.  After a stop at a liquor store.  They were stopped by a U.S. Marshal after he noticed the children strapped.  To the hood.  Of a moving car driven by two drunk idiots.

The good news is they are relocated at this time, pending an investigation.  Now, I just have to believe people this dumb have to have left clues that will lead investigators down the rabbit hole of their personal insanity.  Foster parents may not be ideal, but I have a hard time believing this is an isolated incident, so perhaps the children will be relieved to be safe.

Strapped to the hood of a car.  And I read about this on Mother's Day, after a touching article about mothers who miss their children, mothers who know how to appreciate the lives they have created.
