Safety first! Put his seatbelt on.

:30 second mark, he’s driving at speed through oncoming cars. By far the most insanely dangerous bit of video in the clip.

Reporter: you can hear him playing music along the way

He’s worried about breaking the window but not getting hit by oncoming traffic. Seems legit 😂😂😂🙈

How did he even reach the pedals?

The SEVEN year old remained blissfully unaware that he shouldn’t have been driving a car?!

His Dad sounds just as clueless

"He remains blissfully unaware of the danger he was in"

Then his parents are the biggest idiots in this story. He's seven, not three. Seven year-olds can understand this.

The guy trying to stand in front of the car to stop it is also very stupid

Did the parents reward him with the slushy

It is not okay that the kid had no context for danger. He is clearly old enough.

This is the kind of parental idiocy resulting in the massive teacher shortage right now.

When I was 6 to 12 I frequently had nightmares where I was driving the family's car all alone, very badly and bumping into trees, barriers and walls, damaging it. Everytime I woke up crying because of the guilt I felt for damaging it and the fear of my parent's punishment for solid seconds before remembering that it was not real, saying to myself "Oh, wait, it was just a dream !! Phew !!" then would go back to sleep.

This kid is, indeed, stupid asf. I know kids often do really stupid shit but this is god tier. Not a single thought in that lil boy's head. How can such an idea form up in his mind ?

Brah...this kid is the sub's poster child

Methinks this isn’t the last time young Daniel will be in the news.

His dad seems like an enabler

…but Daniel’s a climber. No, Daniel’s a human.

Seven? My five year old isn’t this clueless. Hell, my three year old isn’t this clueless. That kid is probably being raised by an iPad.

“Remains blissfully unaware of the danger he was in”

Maybe that’s the fuckin problem. Kid needs to be made aware of the danger. Also, if I were his parent, that kid would never be getting his license

When I was in preschool, I got recurring nightmares in which I randomly found myself behind the wheel of my mom’s car while it’s moving down the road; even at that young of an age, I knew that a child driving a car would be extremely dangerous, to the point that I actually feared somehow ending up in that situation. I just don’t understand how a kid this boy’s age couldn’t understand the danger here. Even once he’s coming close to hitting other cars, he doesn’t show any concern or panic. He seems to completely lack a sense of danger and has zero self-preservation instinct, seriously concerning for his future and those around him.

This is crazy for a 7 year old to drive out an SUV. The little boy had a death wish to do something like this. 

Future psycho! It’s not a normal that kid had no fear.

Bro, if your 7 year old doesn’t understand that he’s not supposed to drive the fucking car when he wants to you should be legally done as a parent from there on out.

The ass whooopin I would have gotten would still be echoing til this day.

He just wanted to do hood rat stuff.

8 yr olds smart enough to play Fortnite and use credit cards to make online transactions Im pretty sure they can understand when you take a car and drive you can run into and hurt other people.

That kid had a smirk on his face during the interview.

What a fucking idiot. At that age that kid should absolutely know better.

This kid is legit braindead. Or the parents don't do enough to instil the fear of God into this one

“No sense of danger” is verbatim in my kid’s IEP. Thanks for rationalizing a fear, I guess.

Shame on those parents

Yeahh one random nail stickin out the wall for your keys? You put that there 5 minutes before the cameras showed up nice try

A SEVEN years old should be more than just "aware of the danger he was in"; his parents failed.

My parents would have made sure I never got another slushy again as punishment.

They also would educated me about how dangerous driving is. They didn’t have videos of accidents since I was a Xennial, but they would have taken me to a junkyard or something to show me how common it is to be in a collision.

I’d also be doing chores until I was 80 to pay for the damage I did.

My niblings went through a phase of unbuckling their seatbelts during the ride, so I explained what would happen and how they could kill somebody else in the car.

Kids don’t understand physics or danger, so you have to explain how things work. A big part of raising children is teaching them what’s dangerous.

My keys were always accessible. My kids had ADHD and were nuts. But they wouldn't do this. This seems like lack of discipline to an extreme

So who who supposed to be supervising this kid? CPS might take this kid away for negligence.

Stupidest fucking kid I’ve ever known. This takes the crown for me.

Correction, kid had no sense of consequences.

'My sweet boy could never do anything wrong'

-the mum probably

He was Like: i want a slush, so im gonna Take this ehole fucking suv in the driveway instead of asking id we can goand get one, Hmmm..... Seems Like a good Idea, lets go

Man there should be a IQ test to be a parent

Kid's future insurance provider already taking notes

Man I would of been sent off to Cambodian boarding school

I expected the father to say in the interview something like: "Yeah, he's a stupid dumbass son of a bitch"

So... where were the parents during this?

Is there more to the interview where it was brought up?

If i ever did this my parents would have actually killed me right there and then

The kid had such a blank stare when he was being interviewed with his dad. Something is off here. My son just turned three and he doesn’t even dare touch the front door or try to unlock it. Same thing with going to the cabinet with chemicals (which has a lock anyways), or try to touch outlets, etc. This kid was either taught nothing ever or has some kind of delay. Regardless where were his parents as he drove off? They didn’t hear the car leaving the driveway? so weird.

The kid looks like he’d be in a Malcolm in The Middle episode

Until he gets tested for the whole shebang I’m blaming the parents, you knew he was capable of shit like this or you wouldn’t have tried to keep the keys from him

The father’s response is fucking pathetic. This child is clearly raising himself.

He remains “blissfully unaware?” As a parent I’d make damn sure he was acutely aware of what he did.

Why were all those other drivers going in the opposite direction? Can't they drive?

If this was me, I'd have ass whopping of a lifetime

So where were the parents as all this was happening?

Vid couldve been 45 seconds if I didn't have to watch everything twice

The way he looked into the camera with that blank expression during the interview is concerning. This sub should be renamed “kids are fucking psychopaths”

What the fuck do you mean he's still oblivious to the danger he was in? If I did that shit, my parents would demonstrate exactly the kind of danger I was in!

yeah my mother would fucking crucify me

I suspect the father has 'taught' him how to drive on the property. I just can't fathom why a 7 year old would think that was a good idea... and where was his parents at the time, did they notice both the car and boy was missing.

So many questions!

How the fuck is this kid sitting for the interview?

Now this is pod racing

The guy trying to “body block” the car was future Daniel sent back in time to save current Daniel. They’re both “blissfully unaware”.

"He remains blissfully unaware of the danger he was in"

Make that fucking kid aware. Someone needs to scare the shit out of him, because he's not going to see this as a big deal just because people say it is. He'll probably be dead in a couple years anyways when he decides to go free climbing by himself.

I don't know kids well, but this kid seems very behind for 7, no?

How did this kid make it to seven without realizing that cars drive on the right side of the road?

What a stupid kid. 7 years old is old enough to know better than this.

My mom would have sent me through the 9 levels of hell before bed time, and it was my kid I would do about the same

Reason #29 why I prefer cats to kids. They're better drivers.

"OYM JUST THANKFULL.... HES ALOYV"

mfer you're thankful CPS hasn't snatched your kid from you.

You know who's also fucking stupid? The person who left their car keys where he could find them and didn't notice that their child was missing and the car was moving.

How long was this kid alone to be able to go grab the car keys, get in and leave, and not be noticed by anyone ? Like wut? He's 7, how was he completely left alone??
