 9 yr old boy arrested for drink-driving - VxFan
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was breathalysed and taken into police custody.

But when officers discovered his age they were forced to release him without charge as he was too young to be held accountable for his actions.

There needs to be a new general law against "Causing or permitting a minor" which would see the parent's or guardians charged by proxy for the crimes of their children, a similar law already exists for riding hats.
