worst. mom. ever. gets caught being the worst mom ever.
AP — LINCOLN, Neb. — An angry soccer mom who left her teenage daughter alongside an interstate was ticketed for neglect, Lincoln police said Tuesday. Police spokeswoman Katherine Finnell confirmed this account from police reports:
The 42-year-old Lincoln mom was miffed about her daughter’s poor play on Saturday.
On their drive home the girl flubbed the lines her mom had drilled into her on how to improve her game, so the mother slapped her daughter.
The girl told her mom to pull over. The mom did, near the downtown Lincoln exit off Interstate 80.
The mom yelled at the girl to get out. When she did, her mom drove off.
A teammate’s parent spotted the girl alongside the interstate, stopped to pick her up, then took her to their home and called police.
jay: when is it not just a game? when it’s girls pee-wee soccer. that’s right.
rob: hey, it’s like just “the great santini!” (…though i think he was slightly less of a dick.)
dan: i don’t know. sounds to me like the girl needed a little alone time to work on her lines. you should see what we do to mia when she’s not aggressive enough on the pitch…

I do not buy this story one bit. 100 bucks says this teenage girl cursed at her mom or did some other thing so offensive, the mom slapped her and told her to get out of the car. Come on people, she dropped her on a highway because of soccer? NO WAY!

I too think there is more to this story. I am the mom to a teen son and there are days that I could do the same thing. I don’t think that it is the business of the other mom to call the police. Let the other mom take this girl home with her for a while and see how things go. Once she is comfortable in that situation she will likely want to drop her off on the side of the road as well.
