How an 8-Year-Old Safely Drove Herself to Target for a Shopping Spree
An eight-year-old girl made waves on the internet after she snatched the keys to her family’s SUV and went on a joyride to Target—arriving safely and treating herself to a shopping spree.
On a Sunday morning in September, Zoe Wilson—who was mad at her sister after an argument the previous night—crept out of her Bedford, Ohio, home with her mother Tangie’s keys, wallet, and ID.
In what was apparently a bold act of rebellion, the third grader hopped in the family’s Nissan Rogue and drove around 10 miles, unscathed, to the retail chain. She brought along her dog, named Bear, for the journey.
