Remember those young kids caught driving a car to "grandma's house?" It happened again!

WASHINGTON COUNTY (WITI) -- It was Saturday, June 14th when Good Samaritans in West Bend helped to stop a vehicle being driven by a nine-year-old boy -- with a four-year-old passenger. The kids told police they were headed to "grandma's house." Well...it happened again!

Washington County Sheriff's officials say nearly one month later -- on Sunday, July 13th, they took a 911 call regarding a car traveling eastbound in the wrong lane of traffic on Neward drive -- near Indian Lore Road in the Town of Farmington. The caller reported the vehicle appeared to be operated by two young children -- and that the child driving the vehicle was not able to keep the vehicle in the correct lane of traffic -- as the caller continued to follow.

A Washington County Sheriff's deputy was able to intercept the vehicle approximately three miles from the initial 911 call location. Sheriff's officials say before the deputy was able to stop the vehicle -- it was driven into the ditch in the area of County Trunk A and Trading Post Trail in the Town of Farmington.

No one was injured -- and the vehicle was not damaged when it went off the road.

Kathy Muth was leaving for church when she learned of a car in the ditch just down the road.

"Come to find out it was two young boys that were driving, I believe, their stepfather`s car. I`m sure it was a surprise to the whole neighborhood. I was floored. As a parent myself, the thought of children that young coming as far as they did in a car is unfortunate. Fortunately no one was hurt. To find out they were the same children as last month that`s a little disturbing. Hopefully a lesson was learned in all this and we won`t hear about it again," Muth said.

Deputies on scene were able to identify the vehicle's driver as the nine-year-old West Bend boy, and the passenger the four-year-old West Bend boy. These are the same two children that were involved in a similar incident on June 14th in the Town of Barton -- according to Sheriff's officials.

Sheriff's officials say it was determined the vehicle belonged to the nine-year-old child's step-father.

Sheriff's officials say they will not be seeking any traffic-related charges for the children, but the stolen vehicle complaint and the circumstances regarding the missing vehicle were turned over to West Bend police and the Washington County Department of Human Services.
