On Saturday night, a man named Robert Montoya, who is 52 was arrested for drunk driving with three young passengers trapped in the vehicle, and two of the three passengers were his own children. With desperation and fear in hand, one of the daughter was left with no other choice but to dial 911 for help. Before calling for help, the daughter had said to his dad: "Dad slow down, you're driving 90, Dad slow down, Dad pull over!" When the girls pledged the dad to slow down and pull over, not only did he not stop, he drove even faster. After the arrest, police found out the Montoya had five previous DWI arrests. During custody, he was charged with one more count of DWI and three counts of abandonment or abuse of a child.
I think the daughter had done the right thing, though many other children wouldn't or can't do the same to their dad. I hope this action taken by the girl will be drilled into Montoya's head and make him realize what's important. It's very dangerous to get behind the wheels drunk, it puts other drivers in danger, let alone his children. Though some parents might seem old, but they're still not mature enough to handle the responsibilities of being a parent and knowing what's important. I hope this will be a wake up call for Montoya and for all the other parents in the world who still don't know their priorities.

Mike I agree with you about the daughter doing the right thing for the saftey of everyone in that car. The father shouldn't of been driving drunk with three children in the car and going over the speed limit. If he was drunk he should of done the responsible adult thing and call a cab for everyone. I bet calling the police on your dad or mom would be the hardest thing to do, so a congradulate her for doing the right thing even no she put her father in jail.
