Canada probes child driver video
August 4th, 2009 |

Canadian police say they have begun investigating a video showing a seven-year-old boy driving a car along a dirt road while his father films him.
The video, which Canadian media told Quebec police about, was posted on the video-sharing site YouTube but the date and location of the events are unknown.
The man films from the front passenger seat, while a woman and two children sit in the back, media reports say.
Police said a Crown prosecutor would decide about possible charges.
Canadian reports said none of the people in the car were wearing seatbelts.
The video showed the boy sitting on the edge of the seat as a man identified as his father gave him encouragement, CBC website reported.
At 40km/h (25mph) the man says: "It’s a little bit fast." When the boy reaches 70km/h (43.5mph) he laughs and says: "He’s rolling, he’s rolling", the broadcaster reported.
‘Smile for the camera’
The man identifies the child as Samuel from the North Shore and tells him to "smile for the camera".
The Montreal Gazette said the footage was shot on a rainy day with the Honda CRV’s windscreen wipers going.
Police had opened an investigation after seeing the footage, CBC quoted Sgt Chantal Mackels as saying.
Sgt Mackels said she was "very hopeful" that police would determine the family’s identity, although police were not presuming that the man and woman were the children’s parents, the Montreal Gazette reported.
A charge of dangerous driving was unlikely as the driver was underage and not legally responsible. Other charges could be applied to the adults in the car, she said.

Former boxer Gatti’s body exhumed

The body of former world boxing champion Arturo Gatti has been exhumed at his family’s request.
A new autopsy will now be carried out on Mr Gatti’s body at the Quebec coroner’s office.
Mr Gatti was found dead on 11 July in a hotel in north-eastern Brazil where he had been staying with his wife and son.
Police initially arrested his wife, Amanda Rodrigues, on suspicion of murdering him, but on Thursday said he had probably hanged himself.
Mr Gatti’s family have not accepted the Brazilian theory that he killed himself.
Deputy Chief Coroner Gilles Ethier said Mr Arturo’s family had enlisted an American pathologist to assist with the new autopsy, which is scheduled for Saturday.
"Clearly, it’s necessary for us to pursue the investigation," he told the Associated Press.
But he said the investigation would be "more complex for the pathologist because the body has been embalmed".
Mrs Rodrigues had been accused of strangling Mr Gatti with the strap from her handbag, but was released from detention on Thursday.
In an interview with AP after her release, she said her husband might have taken his own life because he thought she was going to leave him following an argument.
Mr Gatti was IBF super-featherweight champion in 1995 and WBC light-welterweight champion in 2004, and retired in 2007.
Gatti’s career spanned 49 fights and he won 40 of them, 31 by knockout. He retired two years ago.</p
