Mother accused of leaving daughters, 11 and 15, on side of highway and driving away. Mom got upset after the 11-year-old girl told her mom she wanted to live with her Father

Apparently she is 34 going on 13.

Good thing the kids are just fine.

The more I learn, the more I fear that we are getting this one wrong. This is why:

1) Father is custodial, mother is non-custodial

2) Children already live with dad, this happened during mom's visitation

3) Mother is under ruinous child support order

4) Father does not work, and lives off of support payments

There is no way to know for sure, but this MIGHT be a case of parental alienation, inflicted by the custodial father, against the children and their non-custodial mother.

There can be no excuse for leaving children on the side of the road, but we might want to temper our judgment with compassion. This mother appears to be living the nightmare that millions of fathers live. The horror and heartbreak was too much for her. Her situation broke her back and drove her crazy.

I feel sympaty and compassion for the children, but also for this mother. Put a penis on her and she is one of us.

How does this have anything to do with the men's rights movement? So a woman did a bad thing. I can't imagine that's remarkably uncommon, there are plenty of shitty people in the world. This post makes me kinda mad.

Men's Rights isn't about highlighting individual women for their mistakes/issues, but about ensuring equality for men. In my opinion these type of stories belongs in /wtf.

Perfectly reasonable to be upset, but those actions were pathetic.

Look at the comments. Someone says it's the girls fault. Not the moms.

LOL, that was a rather common occurrence in my childhood. On the highway sometimes, but mostly city roads or country roads, by both parents. Surely I am not the only one who pulled this trick and had my parents call my bluff!

The straw that broke the camel's back. I'm tired of this circlejerk of a subreddit. Unsubscribed.
