The cops just left. They measured the skidmarks her car left, and estimated her speed at between 40 and 50 mph, so she's been charged with Reckless Driving (20 mph over the speed limit). That'll lose her license for her for at least 90 days, or more, depending how pissed off the judge is, and make her insurance rates skyrocket.
They also issued a warrant for her arrest on the charge of Reckless Endangerment of a Minor. We can only hope for some jail time, but I'll settle for a really hefty fine.
Last, but not least, they charged her with Issuing Threats. That one may not stick, but hey....throwing everything at her is just fine with me.
We have plenty of witnesses, so proving everything isn't a problem, and I find myself liking my city cops much more. They were all super nice, and concerned.
I can't wait to go to court.

There is a slew/pack/passel of kids who live a few blocks from where I live and I always slow way down... drives people behind me nuts, I bet, but... geez, you never know when a little rascal/prince/princess is going to head into the street. Why take that chance, ever?
Good job, Mom.

I am also encouraged to read that the police were so supportive - wonderful story all around. Triple rated for social action (well... if I could).
