Boy, Age 12, Addresses Community Pothole Problem

"For middle-school parents like Trinell Scott, algebra homework is often the easy part. The tougher part of parenting is figuring out what your kid is off doing when the homework's done.

"Monte says he didn't tell his mom what he was doing. 'He saw a need and he felt like he could meet that need, so that's why he did what he did,' Trinell said.

"It all started one day when Trinell was driving around her hometown in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. The road was a moonscape of potholes, and one crater was so deep it took out her tire and [axle].

"Monte was mad."

In a recent "On the Road" segment, CBS News reporter profiled Monte Scott's pothole initiative.
