Mom Charged Over Makeshift Bike Towline

A mother from Pennsylvania is in some trouble and facing child endangerment chargers after helping her son and his friend hitch a ride on her car..

Nicole Paris’s son and a friend had gone for a long bicycle ride when they got tired on the trip home, so the boy called his mother for a lift back to their house.

After realizing the car was not big enough for the bikes and kids, she decided to throw a towel out the window and tow them back home.

Cops say, Paris “came up with the idea” to place a towel in the car’s rear hatch, which then would serve as a towline for the children to hold onto while sitting atop their bikes.Paris’s invention failed miserably when her son “lost his grip” on the towel and fell off his bicycle.  The boy’s friend then proceeded to run over his pal with his bicycle.

Paris was charged with two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of children. She was also charged with allowing the minors to hang onto a moving vehicle.
