An entitled Karen tries to force her kid to cross five lanes of traffic as a form of practice from coming home from school.

0:06.7

But once I saw that, I decided to intervene, getting this Karen in more trouble than she ever anticipated.

0:12.0

Here's what happened.

0:12.9

Okay, for a bit of context, I currently live in a suburb in Texas.

0:16.5

My son's primary school is on a large stretch of road, and it is five lanes.

0:20.6

And the speed limit is 70 miles an hour. But during school zone hours, it's 30 miles an hour.

0:25.2

The school sits right in the middle, and the crosswalks are at least half a mile each way, maybe more.

0:59.9

to cross the street. What is going on? And he hardly mentions that before slamming the pedal.

1:04.4

The kid had stepped into the road, and my husband pulled immediately into the street to stop people

1:09.0

on that lane. The kid then pulls back.

1:11.4

I then jump out of the car and I yell at the kid to immediately discourage anything.

1:15.5

And let me tell you something, this kid was not fine. I couldn't even get a word out of him

1:19.6

and he couldn't explain to me what he was doing. He was panicking, blubbering, and looking to

1:24.1

the other side. And I had to hold him just so he would stop crying. He kept looking
