An Oklahoma woman has been arrested after police say she drunkenly fell out of her pickup truck and her three-year-old son steered the vehicle to safety across a four-lane road.Taloa Foster, 33, was charged with child endangerment.Witnesses said the toddler grabbed the wheel and steered the truck across lanes of traffic after his mother tumbled out of vehicle on Wednesday.The boy's twin brother was also in the truck at the time.The vehicle eventually crashed into an embankment along the road near Ada, about 80 miles (130km) southeast of Oklahoma City.The boys were unhurt, police said.Police said Ms Foster told them that the boy had unbuckled his seat belt and she was trying to secure him when she fell out of the vehicle.
That's all she was charged with? Surely more charges are coming and they need to turn her over to Childs Protective Services!

I want to hang out with that 3 year old ! Can you imagine how smart that kid is that he would have enough "snap" to know to grab the wheel and steer the truck? I know adults that aren't that smart...oops, I used to work with them. Good job kiddo! As for his mother.....forget that there is no excuse she could possibly give for endangering those two boys and herself or the public at large, I would call her actions attempted murder in the first degree if I was a presiding judge.

I was thinking that too! Ma,(lol) ! Then it dawned on me ,he's probably wise beyond his 3 years!
He obviously had to take care of himself as well as his brother! Dont get me started on these mothers!!!

Sadly, that boy has probably been taking care of himself and his brother for a while.
Those poor kids.

In Oklahoma most two year olds learn to drive before they learn to walk.
