Rude Lady Thinks She’s Entitled To “Verify” If Woman Is Really Kids’ Mom, Faces Jail Time For It
Unfortunately, we live in a world that consists of more evil people than good ones, or at least that’s what I think, looking at the news these days. There are certain entitled folk who do whatever they want without even thinking about the consequences of their actions.
Just look at this random Karen at a trampoline park who felt that a mom was “too young” to have 3 kids, so she called the cops. Apparently, she wanted to “verify” that they were really her children, but she fell flat on her face! Here’s how it went down…

Some toxic folks just can’t bear to see happy kids with an adult supervising them, and love to act nosy

The officer checked the poster’s ID and asked a few questions to her kids, and it was pretty obvious that she was their mom

Well, the officer told the poster that she could press charges against the woman for troubling her 3-year-old and also harassing her
Today’s story was quite traumatizing for the original poster (OP), a mom to three kids ranging from age 3 to 10. As per their Sunday routine, she took them out to an indoor play center with trampolines and foam pits, where the children were enjoying themselves a lot. Suddenly, the mom noticed a group of women eyeing her kids, and one even approached her 3-year-old.
The lady started asking him ridiculous questions that he couldn’t understand, so OP rushed over. Well, the woman acted all snobby and said that the poster seemed “too young” to have so many kids. The mom seemed like any other tired mother would, so she reiterated that they were her children and told the woman to back off, but they still kept staring.
Even her 10-year-old noticed this, so the poster grabbed her kids, made them sit in their car, and was about to leave. However, the mean lady came and stood in front of the car, claiming she wanted to “verify” that the children were really hers. In fact, she even called the cops, but after quickly investigating, the officer realized that OP was indeed their mom.
That’s when the tables turned on the other woman, as they also checked the camera footage. Well, the officer told the poster that she could press charges against the random stranger. It turned out that OP could get her for harassing her toddler, preventing her from leaving, and even filing a false emergency report, so she wondered whether she should really do it.

Netizens couldn’t help but chorus “yes” because everyone felt that she deserved it. Let’s look at all the penalties that she could face for the crimes that the rude woman committed. Harassing a minor: jail time, fines, probation, restraining orders, or a criminal record; unlawful restraint: felony, incarceration, fines, or probation; false emergency report: substantial fines or prison sentences.
Well, it seems like OP has a lot of power in her hands, and she should definitely use it. After all, it was a big scare for her. A survey has revealed that mothers of three children report more stress than moms of one or two, while mothers of four or more children actually report lower stress levels. The poster was already going through a lot, and the last thing she needed was this entitled Karen.
Experts also stress that “Entitled people have a tendency to adopt self-image goals, often leading them into conflict with others. Entitlement can be dangerous. Such people are more likely to experience chronic disappointment, unmet expectations, and a self-reinforcing cycle of behavior that puts them at risk for harm psychologically or socially.”
Isn’t that exactly what happened in the story today, where the woman literally dug her own grave by trying to act all high and mighty? However, she definitely deserves to pay for the trouble she caused, as there is a high chance that it could have gone south if the officer wasn’t a good one. What would you do in OP’s shoes? Let us know in the comments below!
Netizens were shocked by the woman’s unhinged behavior, and they claimed that the poster should definitely press charges

I checked the reddit. Apparently this is BS. A lot of nearly identical posts of this one. It used to be McDonald's Play Place, but switched to other locations.

My husband and I had a child in our 40's. I was in the opticians having my regular test, and the police come in and ask that I 'identify this man and this 3 year old child'. Went out, and it was my husband and our daughter. She's autistic and had had a meltdown in the toyshop because she couldn't have ALL the lego, so he took her to the car to calm down. Someone saw this screaming child and dialled 999. In a way, I'm thankful that someone was on the lookout, even though it was uncomfortable at the time. (and the number of people who addressed me as the child's grandmother.....)

I hope she doesn’t press charges. I mean in US where everyone sues everyone for any major or minor reasons, I would expect people to press charges. BUT in my opinion it can also have opposite effect. That people will be too scared to intervene in an actual abduction because they might get sued. Genuine question, is it illegal to talk to a minor you don’t know? Is it illegal to call 911 for something you feel might be an abduction? I mean unless she tried to physically restrain the kids or harm mother in any way. The cost of this is too high. This lady was a nuisance and a irritation, but did she actually do anything illegal? But knowing that Americans love suing for any reason, she probably sued.

Both my sisters have to prove their children belong to them because their kids ar mix race, and people think they are nannies at best. They have to get ID's for their 3 year olds to prove it. This story makes no sense because there is no mitigating factor...the explanation of "too young" is stupid because I know 20 year olds with 3 kids.

I hope you pressed charges. That woman will keep on "watching" other kids. Who knows how crazy she might get.

I wonder what I could do if for some reason I thought a person was not the actual guardian of the child they have with them? Like the guy in the busy, that mass mur.derer. Because apparently calling the police is wrong. Look, the other lady was a b/tch about it, but just someone tell us what to do to protect children in such situations.

Nosy, old biddies all over the world will make snap judgments, decide they have the responsibility and authority to do or say something about it, and act accordingly. You’re a fine example yourself, plus flying your bigoted hypocrisy flags again. Kindly explain why it’s uncalled for to wonder if colour played a part? There was no assumption, unlike yours stating the USA should control their karens. This tale could EASILY have taken place in Canada, where I live, and the emergency number is 911. Aside from the emergency number, it could also have taken place in the UK. I’m 15yrs older than my youngest sister. Whenever I took her out for walks in a pushchair or to play in the park, there was inevitably some miserable cow who ‘had’ to give her opinion on teenage girls deliberately getting pregnant just so they could get a council flat and live off welfare. I was called a liar to my face many times, when I corrected them saying, “This is my sister, not my baby.”
