  • 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!

  • self induced intoxication is not an excuse... when people say,... "i was drunk give me a break, i wasnt thinking" well next time dont drink that much, its not that difficult of a concept. So, yes she is a bad mom, she knows the affects of alcohol on her, she has no self control and its sad, hopefully the fact that she endagered her childs life will make her take a second look on life.
