Boy was 11 when he took mum's car on joy ride (ABC News)

Guilty pleas have been entered in the Youth Court on behalf of a child who took his mother's car on a 80-kilometre joy ride from Mannum to Adelaide.

The boy, now 12, was not in court as his lawyer entered the guilty pleas on six charges.

They included driving dangerously to escape a police chase and acts likely to cause harm.

The child was 11 when he took his mother's car in March from a house where she was visiting a friend.

Police followed the boy after another motorist reported erratic driving at Inglewood in the Adelaide hills.

The chase ended in suburban Marden when the boy crashed the car.

The Youth Court ordered reports into the boy's mental health and background before a further hearing in July.

One wonders sometimes.....
