CHICAGO - A woman allowed her 11-year-old son to drive the family's minivan to his elementary school, where the boy crashed the vehicle near a group of children.

No one was hurt. The boy, however, was expelled from school, and both he and his mother were ordered to traffic court later this month.

The crash happened Monday outside St. John Fisher School on Chicago's South Side, not far from where the children were lining up to go inside. The minivan jumped the curb and hit a school zone sign as the boy tried to turn a corner, authorities said.

Police said they don't know why Erin Sarandah decided to let her son drive the couple of blocks from home to the school while she and her daughter were passengers.

"She had a license," said police spokesman Pat Camden.

Sarandah was cited for damage to property and allowing an unauthorized person to drive, Camden said. The boy received a traffic ticket for negligent driving and driving without a license.

A telephone listing for Sarandah could not immediately be found.

Wow! A few times my parents let me steer the car, but no one else was around (like it'd be in our neighborhood or something). But I was in the passenger seat.

I feel sorry for the father who lets his daughter date that punk.

lol. believe it or not there is a reason why the law has age limits for driving.

Can you imagine going down the road and seeing an 11 year old driving. When I was 11, all I cared about was Ninja Turtles.

My dad lets me drive down an old dirt road sometimes but he would NEVER let me do that.

Kay Scarpetta · 06-10-2005, 10:36 PM

Jesus... what an idiot. Kids could have been severly injured. Although my mom started letting me drive at 15, but on back roads, not on main roads.

There was this 12 year old that lived in my old neighborhood about 7 years ago that snuck out of the house one Saturday night and stole his parents car. Ironically, it was almost out of gas and he ran out right in front of a well-known prostitution house in our town. Well, at 12, he was still in sixth grade and did not know what a prostitute was. So he wandered into the house wanting to call his mom and dad, but got a little bit of something else. Nine months later his parents got the shock of there lives....
