A Wisconsin woman is facing charges for allegedly having her child in her lap while she was driving her car.
A witness said at one point, the 12-year-old girl was actually driving the car.
Forty-one-year-old Amanda Hauke is accused of being behind the wheel, keeping her eyes off the road for long periods of time.
But it’s what happened moments earlier that prompted a witness to call the police.
“We look over, and there is a child sitting in the front seat with her mom and the child is steering the car. All over the place,” witness Nathan Tietz said.
Once authorities arrived and pulled her over, Hauke denied her 12-year old daughter was in her lap, steering the car.
Ultimately, she consented to a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer, blowing a .126
She was arrested and booked into jail.
