Latarian Milton is not your typical 7-year-old. Few his age have ever driven an SUV up and down several busy streets. A typical boy? No typical boy drive no car at them fast rates. That's my boy. It all started at his mother's town house. Latarian says he took the car keys and hopped into his grandmother's Dodge Durango. I took my grandma car because I got mad at my mom, and then I saw and had my friend coming, and he smoked with cigarettes. I put a million dollars to a hole in the donut. My boy going to be the next black NASCAR driver. He started the vehicle and put it into gear. I I yanked the I yanked it. I yanked the um thing. He yanked the thing. And off they went. Two 7-year-olds alone on the road. Latarian drove several miles through Lake Park and Palm Beach Gardens. We got the one call that I told you about of a driver in the vehicle who looked too short to be able to see over the steering wheel. He yanked the thing. Along the way, he ran over two mailboxes, hit two parked cars in a Costco parking lot, and struck two moving cars near Walmart. I want to do it because it's fun. Fun to do bad things. To drive into a car. Well did you know that you could perhaps kill somebody? Yes, but I want to do hoodrat stuff with my friend. Young boy, young school, new school. I'm going to sight to crank my yank. That's my boy. That is my Look at him cranking that yank. Look. Cranking that yank. Listen, no boy. You hear them cranking yanks? It all ended on Investment Lane and Consumer Drive. That's where Latarian hit the curb and sideswiped the sign. The SUV took most of the beating, snapping off one of his axles and wheels. A grandmother's rage. I want to whip his behind. That's what I want to do right now. If I thought they wouldn't take me to jail, I'd whip his behind right now. Bitch, we ain't going to do shit to my boy. You don't think he should be punished for all of this? Just a little bit. No video games for a whole weekend. That's my Xbox, anyway. The grandmother has custody of the boy. Palm Beach Gardens police said they do plan to move forward with charges of grand theft against the 7-year-old. In Palm Beach Gardens, I'm Ted White, WPBF News 25.
