Crazy little thing called swally

Different cultures have different perceptions of when a child reaches maturity, when it becomes an adult. For some areas of life there are strict age limits. You have to be 16 or over to be married in Scotland, to buy cigarettes you have to be 18. To buy drink in some places, you have to be over 21.

To be in a car owned by your drunk mum, you can be as young as one.

Police in Ohio stopped a car to find the driver, who was over the limit, with her son driving the car.

"Let's be honest, a one-year-old child doesn't have the skill to drive a car. We all know that," the police spokeswoman said.

That's the swally!
