Drunk mother lets toddler take the wheel
 WASHINGTON (AFP) - A patrol officer stopped a car for suspicious driving and found to his surprise that a drunk mother had let her one-year-old son take the wheel, the Ohio state police department said Thursday.
Marya Green, 29, of Goshen Township, near Cincinnati, was arrested late Tuesday and found to have a 0.11 percent blood alcohol level -- well above the 0.08 percent legal limit, said the town's police department spokeswoman Mandy Storer.
Her licence already suspended for a previous drunk-driving offense, Green had put her infant son behind the steering wheel, while two other children aged eight and five were also traveling in the car, she added.
"Let's be honest, a one-year-old child doesn't have the skill to drive a car. We all know that," Storer said.
"But he was riding, the hands were on the wheel. She was allowing him to steer."
It was Green's third drunk-driving offense in six years, she said.
