While one mom in Guizhou province was disciplining her son by making him stand nearly naked on the street, another was forgetting about her own offspring at a highway service station.
Recently, video has gone viral on Chinese social media showing a young boy running as he fast as he can towards an expressway as a car leaves him in the dust. Inside the vehicle was his own mother who apparently forgot about the 6-year-old following a bathroom break.
Fortunately, the kid was noticed and picked by a pair of kind-hearted motorists who dropped him off at a nearby toll station. By that time, the mother had at least noticed her mistake and had called the cops. The mother and son were reunited at the station 30 minutes later.
It’s not clear how exactly the mother forgot about her own son. Some have accused her of attempting to abandon the boy.
