If you ask me I think they did the right thing. Would it have been better for the Drunk parents to drive????
The right thing? Do you know how badly that could have turned out if the child freaked out? What if instead of hitting the brake, he hit the gas? Killed someone? His parents? Himself?
That is HORRIBLY WRONG & they’re bad parents! They should have called a taxi!
stupid and selfish parents…teach them a lesson since it is not their first time.
