LONGVIEW, Texas (AP) - 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.

The sad part of this story is that this happens all too often.  I know a younr person who at age 13 was required to be the designated driver and due to speed and lack of exprience she wrecked, killing herself and injuring the drunk.  I must agree with the idea of a designated driver but using someone underage is just plain stupid.
