CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A Cincinnati mother is facing charges after police found her 4-year-old child driving a car with a 2-year-old inside.

Theresa Smith, 23, is at the Hamilton County jail on two counts of endangering children, according to court documents. She’s accused of not watching her kids.

A report from the Cincinnati Police Department says it responded to Winton Road on the report of a domestic incident at around 10 p.m. on Feb. 11.

Officers arrived to find two children inside a Honda Accord. The 4-year-old was in the driver’s seat and driving the car, moving it back and forth in a parking spot. The 2-year-old was also inside.

Officers said they stopped the vehicle and were able to put it in park.

Smith’s bond was set at $10,000. If she’s released she’s required to wear a GPS monitor.

She’s scheduled to appear in Hamiton County court on Thursday.
