Teenagers are the same no matter where you go. They don’t like something mommy or daddy said and they throw a temper tantrum. Only exception in this case was the tantrum involved driving halfway across a continent! A boy in Italy who was adopted got into an argument with his adoptive parents. He waited for the right time and stole the keys to his father’s Mercedes and began his drive to Poland, to attempt to meet up with his biological sister. He only had about $270 on him and his passport. Somehow he actually crossed the borders of 2 countries on his way. I say somehow because it baffles me how authorities at the borders didn’t feel something was wrong when he did not have a drivers license and he looked like a little boy. He was finally pulled over in Germany, not too far from the Poland border. Once his parents realized what was going on they got in contact with authorities and the Mercedes had a tracking system, which is how German police found him. In a twist, it turns out the boy is a champion go kart racer and is really into cars, which could explain him having enough skills behind the wheel to drive that far. Some parents are too soft. I would of got beat beyond my worst dreams. He apologized and his parents understood. Great way to make sure he doesn’t do it again.
