Jackie Denise Knott, a 37-year-old upstandin’ mother from Alabama, has been charged with child endangerment after allegedly letting her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of her van.

Now while this would seem like some good ole’ fashioned fun, say, going 2mph down the driveway, Jackie was hauling ass down a state highway. And she didn’t even hillbilly-rig the box to the roof with duct tape. No, Jackie’s daughter’s life was hanging by the fastening power of a coat hanger.

“The box was so perty—I’d never sawn one like it. But there wasn’t no room in the van for it, so I figgered my daughter could weigh it down ’til we got to the trailer park,” Jackie the master physicist said.

Jackie’s daughter, it sucks to born into stupid. But the good news is you’ve got a real nice box now. Our advice is to pack that thing to the brim, put it back on top of the van, and hit the road.

Don’t worry about what your mother will think. She doesn’t do that.
