[elektra]

Those poor kids all crammed in there like clowns!

And good think there was no crash- this would have even been nuts back when we were in preschool!

[queenmama]

OMG! And she left some of them while she shuttled half back to the school! :eek:

[hellokitty]

What? So, she took 31 kids on a field trip by herself? No other parents helped her? I can't imagine parents being ok with the idea of her shuttling kids back and forth by herself, overstuffing them unsafely in her car AND leaving the other half of the kids behind. That's just insane. She needs her head checked, I can't believe how poor her decision making skills are.

[AbbysMom]

Wow! That's one of the craziest stories/pictures I've seen in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!

[smiles33]

OK, I know this is a terrible thing, but does anyone else admit to laughing out loud when you saw the photos? :bag

In my defense, I think it was a shocked laugh, but still...I'm embarrassed to say I laughed out loud when I saw this:

No judging smiles33! "Clown car" is the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture.

How did she even stuff them like that in there? Gotta admit, the packing took SOME amount of skill even though she is clearly not too bright. :rotflmao:

[Beth24]

OMG I just dont even know what to say.

[Joolsplus2]

In the United States, Minnie would have faced multiple charges, several lawsuits and at least one Lifetime movie of the week portrayal for her poor judgment.>>>>>:rotflmao: (just a funny sentence, not a funny situation, of course).

[KDsMommy]

Insanity!

[mom2binsd]

Really????

So nobody at the preschool asked her where she was going? Nobody noticed her loading 31 kids, that would not have been quick.

And wow, 31 kids and 1 teacher...

Wonder when she thought...oh I'll take them to a restaurant, why not walk it was only a mile away (not a better solution really with only one adult but far better than cramming them in a car!).

Sounds like it was unplanned, guess she paid for everyone's meal too...

Many unanswered questions, I almost don't believe it.

In South Africa (where this happened) attitudes towards car safety/etc are VERY different from in the US. It's not at all uncommon to pack minivans/etc full of people, with people sitting on laps/on the floor/etc.

No idea about the whole supervision thing, though!

I'll fess up. I could not stop laugh as I told dh about the article and saw the pictures.

Me too. I know it's not suppose to be funny but I couldn't stop laughing either. I'm glad all the kids made it back to school safely.

[smiles33]

Ok, whew, then it wasn't just me. I was outraged, but I truly surprised myself by laughing OUT LOUD. I really don't laugh out loud much when surfing the web so it was a shock!
