Robert was out for a drive with his dad on Saturday when he saw his father run a red light. Robert dialed 911 to report the crime.
"My daddy went past the red light," Robert explained to the dispatcher. "It was in the brand new car, my mommy's car, and we had to go to the car wash, and then he went past the red light."
The boy then put his father on the line.
"I have to apologize my 5-year-old son," Robert's father told the dispatcher.
"He said you ran a red light," the dispatcher said.
"Oh, no. I apologize," the father said.
This time, dad got a reprieve.
"No problem, as long as everything is all right," the dispatcher said.
You dont understand diddly squat about anything other that what you WANT to do and you always think that it is right.
You dont understand that running a red light is the cause for the deaths of more than 800 people and an estimated 200,000 injuries in the US each year.
That irresponsible bastard could have killed himself, which could have been okay because of his negligence, but he could have killed his young son along with your and your family.
Think about that for a moment.
The kid is smart because his father will no doubt think twice before he ever runs another red light.
Furthermore, each time he even sees a red light, he should say thank you, Robert, for possibly saving our lives.

Fair point. But there's nonchalantly blowing through a red light without slowing down or checking cross-traffic, on one hand - and on the other hand, there's coming to a complete stop, carefully checking cross-traffic, and then proceeding through a still-red light (which still leaves you no beef if you get caught and ticketed) - and every point in between.
I don't think we should be too eager to welcome a society where kids snitch on their parents.
