This is what happens when a frazzled mother has lost it.
I completely understand her frustration. But whether you understand her actions or not, you can't help wondering about all sorts of peril her daughter could have encountered. The 10 year old girl was picked up by a stranger and given ice cream...(shyte, that imagery made my hair stand on end). Fortunately this stranger was a good Samaritan and took the child to the police station. I wouldn't be surprised if she used tossing them out the car as a threat in the past and now she just followed through.
Didn't she know this was illegal? She is a lawyer for cry out loud. This good Samaritan also placed themselves in a precarious position. Just imagine if the police pulled them over and this missing distraught child was riding in their car with an ice cream cone in hand.
I'll this for the defense team.
ohhh I never ever thought about the good Samaritan scenario....scary

You're back! Missed ya:)
This story made my hair stand up, too. Honestly, I understand the frustration too (have threatened to put Mr. Bee out many a time, but I suppose he would just find his way back home:) But a 10 year old, and in NYC??? NO WAY, that's just wrong on so many levels.

yeah! after a certain age they know their way home, and a good Samaritan would have to use piece of steak, a much better lure than an ice cream cone.
