Entitled Mother Expects Stranger to Babysit Her Kid in the Park, Stranger Refuses, Causing Tension When Mother Accosts Her for Not 'Watching Him for Five Minutes'

Kids can be a handful, just ask any mom with a pulse. You need all the help you can get when taking care of even one, but where does it cross the line? Is it justified to call on the help of a stranger, and is it even safe to do so? For this unsuspecting and seemingly overwhelmed mom, she happened to encounter a non-threatening woman in the park. But is it fair to expect her to watch the kid, even if it's just for five minutes?

This level of awkwardness can't be made up. From book-snatching to coffee-grabbing, this lady's afternoon was no stroll in the park (pun intended) Is anyone truly in the right here? The saddest part, perhaps, is that this kid will ultimately reap the consequences, both good and bad. What's a kid to do? We think this mom might need to learn a thing or two about manners and parenting—don't you agree? But then again, maybe the stranger getting up to leave and abandoning the child isn't the answer either.
