What say you...my boss' ex-wife just threw their daughter out of the car and drove off...

[enlightenment]

22. Where did the mom kick her out of the car?

Henderson? North Vegas? Summerlin? Down by the Stratosphere? In broad daylight, there is little chance that the kid was in any real danger unless she has some sort of cognitive impairment that impacts her decision-making ability. The fact that she called and asked to be picked up suggests she was perfectly capable of making a wise decision, even if she was upset.

I don't know what part of Vegas you live in, but aside from a few areas that are iffish even during the day, there aren't too many places a 14 year old who has the sense not to get in a car with a stranger would be in danger.

Were it after dark, I might agree with you but as it isn't dark here, I have to agree with the poster who said it was better to get her out of the car than risk having an accident because things had devolved into a screaming match. Fourteen year old girls are not babies and most of them are tough as nails (I was one - I had one). Just because they turn on the waterworks after they lose a match doesn't mean they're fragile flowers.
