The editor of the Brockton Enterprise, 40 year old Don Seiffert was pulled over in Braintree for drunk driving while his 6 year old son was in the back seat eating a burger. This is said to be Seiffert's third drunk driving offense. After, his second incident in 2002 his liscense was taken away for 2 years. A witness called 911 after seeing Seiffert parked facing oncoming traffic with his son in the backseat. When police arrived they stated that Seiffert was so intoxicated that he didn't even know where he was. Seiffert was also charged with child endangerment for driving while clearly intoxicated with a .30 BAC level which is four times the legal limit.
In a situation like this it clear that outside forces need to step in when someone is charged with drunk driving 3 times over a course of 13 years there is clearly an issue and he needs to be helped. What is worse is that his child had to be involved and he is lucky that the child was unharmed. Seiffert has been released on $500 bail but I believe that he needs to get some type of treatment for the alcohol issue that he has in order to keep him from making mistakes in the future that can endanger his child.
