A ten Year old boy only identified as Joshua crashed his father’s car this morning while attempting to reach school early. The father of the boy Bizimungu Samuel is a resident of Kabuga.
He found his son had crashed his car into another vehicle early morning in attempt to get to school early.
“I was afraid that If I get to school late the teachers will beat me, so I thought I could take daddy’s car, because I realized that If I crashed daddy’s car, I would not be beaten for that at school, so I preferred to go to school and tell the teachers that I was late because daddy had a car accident.” Said Joshua.
Joshua’s routine is to take the bus to school every day, but since he was late this morning his father decided to drop him off instead. Bizimungu told his son to get in the car and wait for him to drive him to school.
However, as Joshua waited for his father who was finishing getting ready suddenly heard a crash outside the family gate. He later found his car rammed into a neighbour’s car that is always parked outside their house.
As Bizimungu ran to the car he realized what had happened he ran to check on his son and to his astonishment Joshua wasn’t in the car. There was no one person in the driver’s seat.
After the initial shock and seeing that his son was nowhere to be found, Samuel apologized to his neighbour who was more curious about who was trying to drive the car in the first place then the damage to his car.
The house boy finally confessed to seeing the little boy in the front seat of the car but did not think the boy would try anything.
He said when he came to check on the boy he saw him getting into a bus and didn’t suspect he would have been responsible as it was routine that Joshua uses the bus.
But when he saw the car accident he realized what had happened and confessed that he was afraid of owning up because he thought they would blame him and he would lose his job.
When 10 year old Joshua came home and was asked to explain his actions.
