12. ..."mothers have been prosecuted for a child's drunk driving."

I find this claim remarkable. I googled 'mother charged for child's drunk driving' and 'mother prosecuted for child's drunk driving' and found nothing even resembling this. Just lots and lots of stories of moms being arrested themselves for driving drunk with a child in the car.

It seems massively unconstitutional to charge someone for another persons crime. Can you provide a link to any of these cases? I'd be interested in how this can happen.
