Today, a parent was too busy texting to notice her child had run in front of a moving truck. She did however see me grab the child's backpack to yank him back out of traffic. She then screamed at me for "manhandling" her child and demanded I be fired. It's not even my school; I'm a part time sub. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML
Today, I noticed a young child wandering out onto a busy street. I managed to grab his arm just as he stepped off the sidewalk and yank him away from almost certain death. My reward was his mother, who was on her cell phone the whole time, screaming at me for touching her child. FML
Today, my toddler bolted in a parking lot, running through lanes of cars, right past a man, and forcing me to drop everything I was holding and catch him. I gave the man hell, demanding to know why he didn't even try to stop my child from running into traffic. He just said, "Not my kid, not my problem." Asshole. FML
Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML
Today, I tripped over a kid at work. She was sitting on the floor with her legs sticking out into the walkway. Her mom caused a scene, accusing me of doing it on purpose. FML
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. FML
Today, a child was choking in the store I work at. He was alone in the aisle, so I started the Heimlich without his parents' permission. After dislodging what was caught, his mother turned the corner and went screaming to my manager for touching her kid. I got a write up. FML
Today, I was in a shopping centre when a little girl was running up and down the aisles. She started to fall over so I put my hand out to catch her. Her mother then ran up to me and screamed about me 'touching her child' so loud that everyone could hear. FML
Today, a woman got out of a car to scream at me as I was walking with the kids I babysit, demanding to know where I was taking her children. Apparently the woman who pays me is also a babysitter, who I have been "covering" for on her party nights. The mother doesn't believe I didn't know this. FML
Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML

Actually, I think it's child endangerment. Or maybe both.

Maybe you should have thrown her in front of the truck and see if she's greatful if she gets saved.

Something tells me it'll catch up with her one day if she's not careful. She'll just be walking and texting and BAM!

Depending on her age (I'm assuming she is older than 20 ) she wont be in your generation.

Hey OP, you know what you did was right, and anyone else who saw what happened knows it was right. That counts for a lot, too. (:

She raised one dumb kid. Who wouldn't see a truck coming at them?
HighGTurn 12
That's why we call children. They don't know any better, their common sense and brains aren't fully developed yet.
BeforeItWasCool 12
You idiot. Never have kids if you just expect them to immediately know what's dangerous and what isn't. Kids aren't "dumb" they're just ignorant, through no fault of their own.
Parky03 9
They are kids, what do you expect? She might be in kindergarten or first grade.

10, I'm not being rude, but I want to point out that children are more naive (due to the lack of experience and knowledge) rather than ignorant. Ignorance is a more like close minded and choosing not to believe, even if knowing one's self is at fault. A child who doesn't know danger is still innocent, don't you agree? :)

AsianAdvent, ignorance means lack of knowledge or awareness.
WritingWrongs 8
Ah, fml. A place where everyone can agree with a pair of drawn breasts correcting an asian schoolgirl and see nothing wrong with that.
BeforeItWasCool 12
No, 25, you're not being rude. Ignorant where I come from can also mean naive and that is the sense I was using it in.

It's good to know there are still good people out there. Good on you for potentially saving her kids life. I can't believe some parents though.

so what was the truck carrying?
ATSViper 15
The truck was carrying......who gives a damn what it was carrying. Read the fml.

You're right. It's much more important that we know the contents of the kid's backpack. So what was in the backpack? I NEED TO KNOW IN ORDER TO LIVE!

Was she an underage mom?
reapy 14
How very judgmental of you. Some of the best mums I know are "underage", assuming of course, that to you underage is someone in their teens?
kelseyycakes 2
Wow. Age doesn't define whether you're a good mom or not.

I know a 17 yr old girl, that is raising a 3 1/2 yr old little girl, and she lives by herself. She is an excellent mother and role model for her little girl.
