LONGVIEW, Texas—A 35-year-old Texas woman has been jailed after police say she made her 12-year-old daughter drive her to a bar. Police in Longview say they watched a minivan turn into a driveway without signaling on Wednesday and bump into a home at a low speed. They say the car was driven by Jennifer Lynn Rosenberg's daughter. Police say the girl told an officer she had just dropped her mother off at a bar. They say they found Rosenburg at the bar and that she admitted having her daughter drive her there. Rosenburg remains in the Gregg County Jail on a $2,500 bond. A jail official declined to say whether she had an attorney. A spokeswoman for Child Protective Services told the Longview News-Journal that the agency is investigating. http://www.boston.com/news/odd/arti...police_say_12_year_old_girl_drove_mom_to_bar/ Way to go mom!
It's really sad to read these things. Which kind of a mother would ask her own daughter to drive her to the bar? The mother doesn't deserve to be her guardian at all.
Agreed.. Why wouldnt she just call a cab or something? Instead she would rather risk her daughters life.. her own.. an innocent person!
That's really weird...! Let me se, the mother asked the daughter to take her to the bar? Not the other way round? What the hell is wrong with people these days?
This will definatly not be an isolated case. there are many 12 year olds who would drive you to drink.
They're probably related in some way to Anna Nicole Smith's family. Did investigators get a tooth count?
Im sure that will be almost guaranteed. Mom will probably get locked in jail and child with be sent to live with other family. Hopefully this has no long term effects on the child.
I was talking to my girlfriend about that. Wondering why a cab wasnt the first thing that entered her mind.. or if it did.. why she didnt think it was a logical solution.
but the child will not understand that... you have a double dissaster here ... first a mom that is ill and a child that will be left without mom ... I know, I know ... she is better without that kind of mom ... but the pain and sorrow will not go around her
The mother should be thought a lesson but not to the point of having to forcibly give up her daughter.
