im sorry but that story kinda made me chuckle. i think what i would have done differently is I would have pulled away and to a spot where i could plainly see them like just at the corner or something. then waited for maybe 5 mins and turned around to pick them up and said something to the effect of "next time i wont wait"

and ive been to white plains, ny.....its not that bad. i understand all the things that can happen to a 10 yr old when theyre left alone on a street and i don't the mom should have kept driving but you can bet your *** those kids aren't going to fight in the car anymore.
