December 8, 2005 (FARMINGTON, N.M.) - A 10-year-old girl who decided to go on a joy ride in her father's car Wednesday morning crashed into a guard rail, according to the San Juan County Sheriff's Office.
Authorities received a report of a single-car crash along U.S. 550 north of Aztec. The responding deputy found a 1988 Mazda sedan tangled with a guard rail and a young girl there alone with her cat, said Sgt. Lisa Haws.

The girl first told authorities she had been kidnapped from her home by a man who blindfolded her, forced her into her father's car and then drove away, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. The girl claimed the man crashed into the guard rail and ran away.

Deputies questioned her further and she admitted that she was staying home sick from school. When her father left for work, the girl decided she wanted to take a drive. She took her cat and got into her father's car and drove about 4 miles before hitting the guard rail, authorities said.

Neither the girl nor the cat was injured, but deputies said the car sustained heavy front-end damage.
 
Eek... she shouldn't have been left home alone like that. Tsk tsk tsk...
 
Kinda of surprised that cop didn't do anything knowing that this girl was left home alone while dad's away for at least 8 hours?
This dad deserve to be in deep shit and face charges for child neglicance, and endanger her own welfare! I am not sure why Dad decided to go work despite there is law protecting dad from losing job if he have to stay home to care for her ill child (FMLA as Family, Medical Leave ACT).

Depends on the state, but IIRC some states allow you to leave children who are 10 years old home alone.
