On Monday night, police in Indiana got a call about a 29-year-old dad driving with his four young children STRAPPED TO HIS HOOD.  His blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit, and he was driving to the liquor store with his four kids, ages four, five, six, and seven.  They were strapped to the hood because they thought it would be FUN.  He was arrested.

How is it possible that a guy THIS DUMB could have four children?  I can't even begin to wrap my head around it.  On Monday, around 5:30 P.M. the police in Fort Wayne, Indiana got a call from someone who saw a guy driving with four young children strapped to the hood of his car. The cops got there very quickly and stopped the car after three blocks.  And yes, four kids, ages four, five, six, and seven, were attached to the hood using a tow strap.  The guy driving the car was their dad, 29-year-old Aaron Stefanski.  He was taking the whole family to the LIQUOR STORE, naturally, and had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.  He told the cops he'd strapped the kids to the hood because they thought it would be FUN.  The kids, of course, were all for it, and told the station that Stefanski (the father of three of the children) and Clark (who is mother of the fourth child) asked them if they wanted to do it, and they said, "yes, because it sounded like fun.” He's been charged with driving while intoxicated and neglect of a dependent. Its not sure if the children are still in his custody. 

Just when you think it can't get worse there's another story of grandparents tying their granddaughter's toy car to the back of their SUV with a dog leash

It brings me to that poignant quote from the movie Parenthood: "You need a license to drive, a license to fish, heck, you even need a license for your dog. But any [idiot] can be a parent." Maybe we need to consider it.
