LONGVIEW, Texas — A 35-year-old Texas woman has been jailed after police say she made her 12-year-old daughter drive her to a bar.
Police in Longview say they watched a minivan turn into a driveway without signaling on Wednesday and bump into a home at a low speed. They say the car was driven by Jennifer Lynn Rosenberg's daughter.
Police say the girl told an officer she had just dropped her mother off at a bar. They say they found Rosenburg at the bar and that she admitted having her daughter drive her there.
Rosenburg remains in the Gregg County Jail on a $2,500 bond. A jail official declined to say whether she had an attorney.
A spokeswoman for Child Protective Services told the Longview News-Journal that the agency is investigating.

What an incredibly perfect example of bad parenting. You'd think a mother of this quality wouldn't even care about the possibility of getting a DWI, yet she WILL take the risk of both her and her daughter's lives having an underage, inexperienced kid behind the wheel.
It goes without saying that this woman seemingly isn't your average Jane, but someone who has a serious issue with alcohol. I don't think it ever occurs to a social drinker, "Hey, let's go out for the night! And let's have little Suzy drive us there!" This is an act of desperation to get to an establishment for the express reason of consuming alcohol. And it's just sad.
