[Jolly Rancher]

Get this.

My daughter, fully licensed and insured, was hit in a grocery store parking lot (private). The 14 year old, unlicensed driver, with no other adult in the vehicle but with a sibling (3 years old) and no car seat, backed into my daughter (Buick Century) with her SUV. Scratched her bumper. Crushed in the entire front quarter panel of my daughter's car. I come to the accident after my daughter called me at work. The other girl's mother came to the accident scene after a call from her daughter. When the police arrived, the mother and daughter were given a stern warning that they were lucky that she was in a private parking lot because he can not ticket the child.

I think of several tickets: 1. No Driver's License 2. Improper backing 3. No child restraint 4. Endangerment of a child (both to the 14 year old and the 3 year old) 5. Driving restrictions (even if the girl had a license, she is not allowed to drive without a licensed driver until she is 16, and the mother let the officer assume that the child was driving, but the parent was in the vehicle). 6. Child neglect (on the parent who sent her daughter to the store).

I am told by the police that it is correct that they can not ticket the girl.

Where is the justice?

Oh, by the way, did I mention the other parties were hispanic? They kept speaking to each other in Spanish until I loudly mentioned to my daughter that I thought it was funny how Mexicans don't think anyone that is white knows how to speak Spanish. They stopped speaking Spanish and started whispering.

I don't know yet if the other parties had insurance. I have not yet received the report.

Now, the accident is considered a no-fault. We will have to pay for the damages.

Just my b**ch for the day.
