Drunk Dad tells 11-year-old: 'Drive Us Home'
Last Update: 7/14 9:24 am

How would you feel knowing an 11-year old kid was behind the wheel, driving his drunk dad home?

Jonathan Aguilar of Las Vegas says he knows he's not old enough to drive. Las Vegas police say last Thursday, Jonathan's father became so intoxicated that he told his kid to get behind the wheel and drive them home, so the 11-year-old hopped in the driver's seat.

Later, police say after he made an abrupt turn onto a dirt road, they noticed the pint size driver and saw dad in the passenger seat, nearly passed out.

Jonathan says it's kind of sad what happened to his dad but he misses him since he got locked up.

Eusebio Aguilar has been charged with child endangerment.
