..And where were parents?!

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A six-year-old Phoenix girl received fatal injuries when her eight-year-old brother crashed the family car into a metal pole during a late-night drive in their pajamas, police said on Thursday.

The children were reported missing by their mother around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night, about the same time emergency dispatchers received a report of a moving vehicle with children inside, Phoenix police Sergeant Steve Martos said.

A patrol car spotted the 2010 Hyundai Elantra and followed it a short distance before the boy crashed the car into a pole about a block from the family's home, he said.

Officers aided the girl, but she died early on Thursday morning of her injuries, Martos said, adding that she was not believed to be wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and that a passenger-side air bag did not deploy.

Her brother had a minor ankle injury.

Martos said the mother told police that she had bathed her children and put them to bed at about 9:30 p.m., only to find them missing some 30 minutes later. She also discovered the front door open and the car missing and initially feared that they had been kidnapped.

"This is just a horrific event," Martos said. "The mom puts them to bed, tucks them in for the night and then wakes up this morning and finds that her six-year-old is dead. That's just a tragedy."

Investigators believe the children had driven about five miles and may have been on their way home at the time of the crash, he said.
The police did not identify the mother or children.

Can't really put the blame on the parents. Maybe if that little shit didn't take the car, his sister wouldn't be dead.

I suppose you're right, it only takes a quick minute or two for little kids to find trouble.

A 6-year-old girl has died after her 8-year-old brother took her on a joyride in their mother's car and crashed Wednesday night in South Phoenix, police said.

The children's mother believed they had been kidnapped when she discovered they were missing, said Sgt. Steve Martos of the Phoenix Police Department.

"It's a tragic story, all the way round," said Martos, who did not give the children's names.

The mother gave the children a bath and put them to bed around 9:30 p.m., he said.

The children's grandmother, who lives nearby, was driving home when saw her daughter's front door open.

She went in, woke up the woman, and they discovered both the children were missing, Martos said.


As they came out to check with neighbors, the children's mother discovered that her car -- a 2010 Hyundai Elantra which had been parked outside -- was also gone, Martos said.


The frantic mother called 911 around 10:25 p.m., saying she believed someone had kidnapped her children.


Police said they started to get numerous 911 calls starting around 10:15 p.m. One caller said the car had struck a fence. Another who followed the vehicle reported that children were inside.


At around 10:30 p.m., when police tried to pull the vehicle over, it veered to the right and hit a pole, Martos said.



"This was one of those situations when the officers believed they were trying to rescue kids from a possible kidnapper," Martos said.


"When they ran up to the vehicle, they found an 8-year-old in the driver's seat, and a 6-year-old in the passenger seat, severely injured."


Responding officers started life-saving measures until the fire department arrived, Martos said.
Both the children were dressed in their pajamas. The 6-year-old was not wearing a seat belt. The air bag did not deploy.


The mother, who lives within a block of the where the accident occurred walked to the scene and discovered that her children were in the car.
The 6-year-old died around 4 a.m. Thursday in a local hospital. The 8-year-old boy was treated for minor injuries.


Martos said at this point they do not know what prompted the 8-year-old to take his mom's car. They have not spoken to the boy, but no criminal complaints are expected to be filed, he said.

Friends and neighbors gather to console the family of a 16-month-old Collin County girl who was killed in her driveway Sunday.

A Texas toddler was killed when she was run over by a truck driven by her 4-year-old brother, police said.

The 16-month-old girl was struck down in her family home's driveway in Westminster on Sunday afternoon after her older sibling reportedly grabbed the keys and turned the ignition.

The truck, which reportedly had a defect that allowed it to be started while in first gear, rolled forward.

It is not clear whether the parents will face charges in the tragic accident.

It is not clear whether the parents will face charges in the tragic accident.

The children's father ran outside after hearing the engine starting.

But he could only watch in horror as it rolled over his baby girl and came to a rest against a neighbor's fence.

MyFoxDFW reports that the girl died instantly.

Cops are now investigating the tragedy. It is not yet clear whether the parents will face charges.

I hope that this trend ends soon.
