7 year old steals car to avoid church

Do any of us raised in religious environments not sympathize?

A 7-year-old boy in Weber County, Utah lead police on a car chase last Sunday morning. Police responded to reports of a “child driving recklessly” and indicated that the rugrat ran a stop sign before his apprehension. The officers tried unsuccessfully to stop the child, who reached speeds of about 40 mph, before he stopped in a driveway and ran into his house.

Under questioning by his father, the kid admitted he didn’t want to go to church. (I feel you, brother.) Police were unable to arrest the child or issue citations due to his age, but did urge the dad to keep his keys somewhere less prone to being thieved.

Video below, but someone really needs to add the Cops theme to it.
