Johnston County sheriff's deputies charged an Angier woman with child abuse for allegedly using her 14-year-old son as a designated driver last Thursday afternoon.

Deputies pulled over Angel Gale Montayne, 39, of Massengill Pond Road, after she turned on a dirt path to avoid a checkpoint, said Tammy Amaons, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.

When they stopped the car, deputies found her 14-year-old son in the driver's seat, Montayne in the front passenger seat and her 14-year-old stepdaughter in the back seat, Amaons said.

Deputies charged Montayne with two counts of child abuse and impaired supervision of a child. She was released from the Johnston County Jail under a $5,000 bond.

Wonder which punishment is worse, DUI or child abuse? She may make out on this one yet!

bet those kids are proud of her...

Spritz and Ladybug1, letsroll65 was clarifying the situation for another reader, and later posts reveal that not everyone understood the situation. Please be kinder.

tbone......NOT such a good job. She didn't swap till she thought she was going to get CAUGHT...not for SAFETY. Bad Mom! Duh, Mom....If she makes the kids do stuff like that, it kinda makes me wonder what else she doesn't do right...like raise her children/stepchildren.

tlbone56.....I think you should be in the same cell as this drunk! After she puts in some jail time, she should in verified rehab. No good points for letting her innocent child getting behind the wheel. what a bum!
