Police in Florida halt 10-year old young driver on highway

Police in Florida were surprised when they pulled over a car on a big road, only to find out that the person driving the car was a 10-year-old boy.

The boy and his 11-year-old sister were found in Alachua, which was far away from where their mother said they went missing earlier in the week.

The police said that the two people tried to run away after she took away their electronic devices.

“They were very surprised when they saw a 10-year-old boy driving a car and getting out with his sister,” the deputies reported.

The Alachua County Sheriff’s office said the traffic stop was dangerous and happened very late at night, at 03:50 local time (07:50 GMT) on Thursday.

The white car that the two people were traveling in was reported as missing by their mother in a city called North Port, Florida. North Port is more than 200 miles away from Alachua.

The police found out that both kids were mad at their mom because she took away their electronic devices. She did this because they were not using them correctly.

The police said that they didn’t think they were being treated badly at home.

The kids’ mom drove for three hours in the direction of Alachua to pick up her children.

The police talked to the mother for a long time. She was trying her best to take care of her two kids. She listened to the advice the police gave her about getting help.

The minimum age to get a learner’s permit in Florida is 15, but you have to be 18 years old to apply for a full license.
