[qs mom]

I've done this. More than once.

Although, my son's 'offense' was that he didn't want to live with me. I picked him up (I think he was 5 1/2) carried him outside to the porch and down the steps. I told him that maybe he could find himself a new mom.

It really didn't take him long to decide that the mom is has was ok.

I've also stopped the car and escorted him out of the car. And locked the doors. That gets me some looks.

Of course, we had an adoptive parent from outside our area, come through this area on the was to an AT here. She stopped, got her kid out of the car and left him on the side of the road.

I have never driven away. I pull into a parking lot, get him out, and let him 'think' about things.

I can't imagine anyone driving away. I'd want to, but I couldn't do it.
