FARGO (AP) -- The mother of a 12-year-old girl faces charges after police spotted the girl driving the wrong way on a one-street in neighboring Moorhead, Minn., at 1:30 in the morning. She had three teenage passengers.
Margaret Joan Hines, 38, of Fargo, faces one count of child endangerment and one count of allowing a person to drive contrary to law.
Moorhead police said the passengers were ages 12, 13, and 13. The driver told police she was 15, but it was later determined she was 12.
The girl said her mother had allowed her to drive to the video store earlier in the evening. Later, the girl drove to Moorhead to pick up her friends with plans of "hanging out," she told police.
Hines told police she told her daughter she could take the car for an hour.
