. . . and he gets slapped with child abuse charges. Now this is the gov't overstepping it's bounds. This is NOT child abuse. It was potential child abuse. Had the girl crashed and gotten injured, then I'd say yes, charge him with with abuse. But she did a good job and got them to where they were going safely! Give the dad a tongue lashing and maybe a citation for public drunkenness; give the girl a pat on the back for being more mature than he is, and call it a day. I very much doubt he'll ever do this again--I'm sure the media exposure is quite embarrassing. What I love is what she said to the cops after they pulled her over: ""What did you stop me for? I was driving good."
