Surveillance cameras and a cellphone video showed a father guiding his 3-year-old son to drive a large construction vehicle on a public road in China’s Lishui City on April 19. The father was later detained, and luckily no one was injured, nor any property damaged, according to multiple Chinese news sources.
According to local police, the father had already taught his son how to operate the machines, and gave in to his son’s request to drive one. The boy drove a construction vehicle about 330 feet (100 meters), for a total of 15 minutes.
