My 17 year old daughter was on her way home from work tonight. Got out at 8:00. She has a 25 minute drive to home and a car going north threw what she thought was a bottle out the window and really damaged her car. She has only liability as to her age and the car's age. It almost went through the windshield. She was so scared and upset. We called the police and reported it and let her go to her boyfriend's home because his family knows a lot about cars and she was very upset. They did what we knew they would and shared the anger and said it was no big deal to fix the hunk of metal. I told her it is just metal. Turns out it was a steel rod and she could have been killed. Just missed the windshield. Anyway, these nice people are going to fix her car so the wound doesn't keep scaring her and my daughter has a fear of driving now. I am going to get her a cell phone. Poor thing feeling so scared and helpless. Stupid young people on the road is my guess. Hope they are caught. She worked hard and bought her car cash and pays her own insurance. She feels as though she has been robbed. I hate it when my kids hurt. Was almost crying when I spoke to the police because she was crying. That always does it for me. A kid crying. Poor darling.

That's so bad to hear, wise! I'm glad she wasn't hurt. It's amazing how senseless some people are. Once, about 12 years ago now, when my dad was driving us home from somewhere, someone shot an air pistol or whatever they are called from a motorway bridge at our van. It entered the back window and sprayed glass all over the back seat. If I had been sitting in the back and not in the front, I could have been pretty badly cut up...

So yeah. I am glad she escaped any injury.

thanks Silver, Poor kid,

In spite of the fright and anger, you have much to be thankful for, WW! Thank God your daughter was just shaken up! It could have been a whole lot worse!

Oh my gosh, what horrible punks! I'm so glad your daughter is ok, physically at least. People do really senseless things without empathy, not realizing or caring about the consequences. I'm sorry your daughter had to go through that.
Is this an isolated incident? Up here, someone was throwing rocks off of an overpass, and they kept doing it for a few weeks. Eventually the police set up a camera.

WW,

Glad your daughter is OK, that the truly important thing. These punks will get what's coming to them. Please give your daughter a hug from me and tell her I'm glad she's OK.

Hell of a world we live in, eh?

Love,
Greg

Glad she's okay

I'm glad she's okay.......a "rabbit hunter" shot, in a blizzard, near the highway that my daughter and i were inching along on, and the bullet went right in front of both of us......shattered the passenger window and lodged in my driver's door......i know how she feels. we felt scared, anger, violated and really uneasy for a long time afterwards....

[wisewoman]

Thanks everyone for your support. It is truly great that it just damaged a hunk of metal and not the child. She does feel violated but the boyfriend's family really helped her with that. The biggest thing is for her to feel okay driving and not let it cause too much fright. And man am I glad it wasn't a bullet!!!! Thanks again.

I hope she is able to get some comfort soon. I know when mom and I had our incident about 9 years ago I wouldn't go near a car or anything. I won't share what happened because it was pretty nasty and I wouldn't want to trigger someone. Anyway I'm sending hugs your way. ((((((((WW and daughter)))))))

oh how horrible, I would be scared too *huugs*

[wisewoman]

She was petrified Spaz and Jannie, she told me tonight it was hard for her to drive. I am downplaying it and telling her I am a lot older and it has never happened to me so she is pretty safe. I don't want her to start feeling like she is afraid to drive. Thank you for your thoughts. I guess what I should do is have her take that 10 hour road trip with us on the 22nd. There is the EXPOSURE.
