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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Some people are too obsessed with their phones to even notice the real world. Good for you, you saved a life OP!

Wow OP you're so amazing!! That woman needs to know her place and actually pay attention to what's happening in the real world. I probably would've punched her in the face, tbh.

Honestly OP, what you did was right. It's just that she is careless and irresponsible making her unfit to be a parent Thus, trying to put the blame on you for her own mistake.

OP, you're my hero today! I got hit by a car as a kid and wish someone had pulled me back. Don't let this asshat of a mother get you down. Report her behavior to the school, so you don't get in trouble (the school probably knows she's a bitch, if not a negligent one).

PS: And please reconsider your username. You absolutely ARE a good samaritan.

Now, I'm NOT saying you should have let the brat get hit because no mother should ever have to go through the pain of losing a child. However, it seems like it would serve that asshole right if her kid/s were taken away because of her gross negligence.

I would look for witnesses and have her child taken away for child endangerment. She should permanently have her right to breed revoked and be beaten with large ropes.

this is where you just need to yell a string of obscenities at her for being a complete whatever. Then threaten to call the authorities because with a crazy **** like her, it was most likely a cry for help from her kid.

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have kids. It's sad that in our world we have to have a license to own a dog, but anyone can have kids.
