This and also why was she driving a car in the first place? ~~Can 13 year olds legally drive in Australia?~~ Edit: Stolen car.

But, yeah going to go out on a limb here and guess this young girl may have learned some pretty deplorable shit from the people who are supposed to be raising her.

Can 13 year olds legally drive in Australia?

Nah. The article states it was stolen, and also a Hyundai; I vaguely remember there being some TikTok "trend" of people (mostly teens) stealing specifically Kias and Hyundais, I think due to them lacking immobilisers or something, that probably had something to do with it.
