Terry Kisling, 47, of Hickman, was driving the van of high school cheerleaders to a football game in Nebraska City earlier this month when a group of boys pulled up next to them in a sport-utility vehicle...One of the girls apparently signaled to the boys and asked for a beer, and Kisling inched the van closer to the SUV, letting her daughter lean out to grab the can..."To say that we were shocked and taken aback would be an understatement," said (Norris High School Principal) Skretta, who said he learned of the incident last week. "It's almost unfathomable."

The vehicles didn't touch and nobody was hurt. The beer was passed around the van for several girls to drink, Skretta said.

Kisling was charged with procuring alcohol for minors, contributing to the delinquency of minors and reckless driving...Authorities said they did not know how fast the van was traveling. Nebraska Highway 2 is a divided four-lane highway with a speed limit of 65 mph, Holland said.

Kisling, one of many parents who volunteer to drive students to school activities in district-owned vans, will not be allowed to drive students for the school again...The girls were disciplined by the school and would likely not face additional charges, Skretta said. He would not say how the school punished the students.

1. I hope she goes to jail. What a dumbass thing to do.

Bad enough she had her own child in the car, she had other people's daughters in there as well.

4. You have to wonder, what was she thinking? WAS she thinking?

Apparently not. It's just such an incredibly dumbass thing to do!

3. A shoo-in for a Darwin Award

I wonder if Mom thought what she did would make the Kids think she was cool. If I were a parent of one of those girls ................

8. Sorry, no dice

Now if she spun out, wreck the SUV, and died, then she can play for the DA.

In order to qualify for a Darwin, someone needs to permanently prevent themselves from reproducing ever again.

9. I stand corrected

and thanks for the info. Actually I feel pretty good not knowing the criteria for the dubious award. And such a shame cause I really do appreciate the work done by Mr Darwin.

12. Arrested Development

This woman is a complete moron and I wish they'd thrown in a few child endangerment charges in on top. Plus...Child Protective Services supervision for the foreseeable future, because who knows what else she's been getting up to, neglecting to properly parent and safeguard the daughter.

Okay, I'm down off the soapbox now. Mildly pissed that immature people care more about vicariously reliving their own youths than treasuring those of their children.

13. That phrase crossed my mind, too!!!! And I agree with you... NT
