What was this mother thinking?
A mother was accused on Wednesday of driving a getaway minivan with her two young children inside after burglaries at two New York City homes.
Prosecutors said Erika Santana, 23, drove the van with her four-year-old and five-month-old children inside after Hugo Lantigua, 22, who is the baby’s father, and Pedro Camillo, 19, broke into two houses in the borough of Queens.
Santana, Lantigua and Camillo face charges including burglary, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child, and face up to 25 years in prison.
“It is unthinkable that a mother and father would put their children in harm’s way while allegedly committing these crimes. It is even more unimaginable that they would allegedly do so with a loaded handgun in their vehicle,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

A Czech man who found a pair of handcuffs in the garbage in the Southern Czech town of Brno decided to take them to a bar where he proceeded to bet his friends that he could free himself with the aid of a piece of wire. I wonder if this guy watched one to many episodes of McGyver?
When the 48 failed at his attempt to free himself from the handcuffs he walked to the police station to ask for help. Unfortunately for him the police didn’t believe his story. The did a background check on him to see if he’d been charged with any crimes in the past, but he had a clean record. I guess they believed he was an escaped criminal!
A locksmith finally came to his aid and freed the man. Why on earth didn’t he try a locksmith before going to the police?
I guess the moral of this story is that if you find handcuffs without any keys don’t play with them or else you might find yourself in a rather embarrassing situation!

Most people take new drivers to deserted areas like empty parking lots to learn how to drive for the first time, but not this one Philippine man.
For some reason he thought it might be a good idea to teach his girlfriend to drive a van on an Airport runway … sure, nice long stretch of pavement … but what about the planes!
As it happens just when the woman took to the runway a Philippine plane with 80 passengers on board was coming in for a landing! The quick thinking pilot managed to avert a crash.
The Cebu Pacific plane briefly touched down at Legazpi airport in the central Philippines Saturday but took off again as the van being driven by the couple crossed the runway.
Apparently the man is the son of a local aviation official – perhaps that’s why he thought teaching his girlfriend to drive on a runway was a good idea?
Luckily the pilot was on the ball and averted what could have been a tragic accident.
