There's a kid, a seven-year-old kid.
He stole his parents' car and just took a little drive--
seven years old.
And the police started chasing him.
This is the video.
I don't know if you saw this or not.
And that's him in the car right there driving and--
uh oh.
Uh oh.
There he goes.
That's how mama drives.
All right.
Then he gets out puts it in park,
takes off, starts running.
Look at him.
[LAUGHTER]
Come here.
I'll get you.
Come here, kid.
Take a look at this.
So this is your son.
And is that your car, Dan?
Yes, it is.
That's your car.
It's my wife's car.
All right.
It's not my car.
Well, now it's her car probably.
All right.
He's seen an episode of Cops or something
because that's what they do.
They just-- they know to get out and run like that.
He didn't just stay in the car.
All right.
I mean, that was through town, right?
Yeah, it was.
Not much of a town.
But yeah, just a little town.
It was through town.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, let's get Preston out here to tell us what he will.
Seven-year-old joy rider, Preston Scarborough.
Come on out.
All right, now, you're getting a lot of attention for this.
But you know it was a bad thing, right?
Yeah.
Had you been in a car before driving?
No.
You had not driven.
And how could you possibly-- how could you work the pedals
and then see over the dashboard?
I was down like this.
And I would pop my head up.
[LAUGHTER]
And you weren't scared?
I mean, did you almost hit things?
Nope.
You know it's funny, the reason somebody
called was he was driving down the road,
and he kind of swerved into the other lane and came back.
And that happened to be the Fire Marshal coming home.
And he just waved to the Fire Marshal as he's going by.
So I mean, these are things we find out little bits
and pieces over the last month.
We've kind of found out that kind of stuff.
So that was kind of--
You waved at the Fire Marshal.
Yeah.
How small of a town is this?
It's not really rural.
But I mean, it's pretty small.
But we have a high school in the town
and a couple of churches and things like that.
So--
Who are you waving at?
Just people.
You're a friendly guy.
And at what point did you know were in trouble,
because it seemed like you understood when
you got out and ran like hell.
Like, at what point did you were in trouble?
When I heard the sirens.
You heard sirens.
And then did you look in the rearview mirror?
Did you see him behind you?
Yeah.
So then did you floor it?
Did you start going faster to get--
and then you how-- far away from home
were you when you started heading back?
I think.
A couple of miles, huh.
Yeah.
A couple of miles.
A couple miles.
All right.
And had you seen an episode of Cops?
How did you know to get out of the car and run like that?
We'd like to know, too.
Yeah, I mean--
Yeah, we'd like to know.
Like, didn't you think you should stay put or something
when somebody's chasing you?
No.
Uh huh.
All right.
So you got grounded, right?
Yeah.
And what else happened to you?
No video games, no TV for a week.
No.
We've caught a lot of flack over this.
We've caught a lot of flack.
He was grounded for a lot longer than that.
He got privileges taken away for a month.
You think he was.
He was only in for a week.
He probably went out riding.
Yeah.
You have no idea.
Yeah.
What do we know?
Yeah.
What do we know?
Right.
So he was grounded for a month.
Yeah.
He was.
All right.
Well, we want to give you a gift to make sure
that this doesn't happen again.
The first thing we want to give you
is a club to put on your car so that he can't do that.
Thank you.
All right.
You can't get in that.
Now, I saw this backstage.
And I'm like, this is not fair that he's
getting this thing because you have to know that what you did
was wrong.
And you're not going to do it again.
But to make sure that you have something to take off
in that's going to be safe, we got
you this really, really cool Fisher-Price signature Cadillac
Escalade.
Take a look at this.
Look at that.
Isn't that awesome?
That's yours.
[CHEERING]
It's not going to go as fast.
But you'll be able to see OK.
All right?
All right.
And there's seatbelts and everything.
And you stay off the roads.
All right?
Isn't that pretty cool?
Mhm.
If you don't like it, I'll take it.
I love this thing.
It's pretty cool.
All right.
Well, stay safe.
Stay off the roads until you're-- how old?
18?
Is It 18 there?
16.
At least.
[LAUGHTER]
