Police in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez ticketed a 6-year-old boy for reckless driving, driving without a licence and not having his toy motorcycle registered after he crashed it into an SUV.
The boy's mother, Karla Noriega, says police also impounded the child-sized motorbike that her son got for Christmas after he ran into an SUV at a park on December 27.
Noriega says she decided to go to the media and make the case public after finding out she would have to pay what she calls a "ridiculous" $183 in fines before she could recover the toy motorbike.
She says authorities dropped the fines and released the motorcycle to her son Gael after local newspapers published her story.
