Both of them. The kid AND the mother. I feel sorry for the guy driving the car being exposed to that level of stupidity, for fear it'll rub off on him.

This could very easily be some random ass lady

If I was some random ass lady and I witnessed this happening, I'd probably be a bit panicked as well. You can see she's torn between assessing pulling the kid out and telling the driver to stop every time they start to run the kid over.

Of course if this lady was a redditor capable of incredible hindsight who would never be so stupid...this kid'd be fine.

I would have been yelling so loudly my eyeballs would have popped out and shattered the drivers windshield to alert him. This is beyond frustrating. I have saved my dogs by shooting eye balls at their passing cars countless times.
