I don't see the problem, lots of 6 year olds drive around near me, they are just in the bodies of 18 year olds :(

I do really think something is very wrong there unless there is something not being said..?

What can you do if you kid just decides to do it ? how do you read the mind of your kid to the point of knowing that he may or may not potentially decide at anytime to swipe your keys and take your precious motor for a spin ?

Ok Unlikely here in the UK more likely than not the car is a manual where in the US automatics are more common place so thus easier.
