A US woman has been accused of letting her 10-year-old son drive her car on public roads and streaming it on Facebook Live.

Lisa Nussbaum, from Connecticut, has been charged with risk of injury or impairing morals of a minor, and will appear in court on Friday.

Police say Nussbaum was arrested after several residents complained to officers of a live-streaming video on Facebook showing a child driving a car.

Officers determined Nussbaum was recording her son drive the car on public roads throughout the town of Monroe.

The video was taken from the passenger seat of Nussbaum's vehicle.
