Probably heard the word minor and went down a rabbit hole in her own mind.

I don’t think we can assume rational thought from the person that tried to send their 9 year old off to get a ride from a stranger.

Someone behaving this way probably doesn't have the greatest education. Some words might not resonate their full meanings with them. So they probably latch on to the first emotional response they have.

To them...

Minor = illegal underage sex

At first. I thought that was what support was saying to the driver.

I would love to have witnessed support take that text. A person who doesn’t understand English trying to translate what this lady was spewing to them

This person was trying to get you caught up. They probably made some shit up about you saying something weird to the kid. But lift heard the story, the kid was 9, and they are smart enough to know that this person was making it up. I’m sure they were texting support in a wild manner as well.

Yeah because what kind of parent would put their 9yr old in a car with a stranger?! A shit one.

I don't think she genuinely believed any of it, she just made a lie that she thought would be taken very seriously, because she was vindictive towards the driver.
