Her first and biggest mistake was picking up three teenagers who were ‘on their way to school’.
Some people don’t think before getting themselves in a bad place. She was out numbered by three people she didn’t know, some of them were likely young boys who could have (and did) easily overpower her. Most people would be savvy enough to just keep driving. Don’t even make eye contact.
If they want to get to school badly enough, the kids will figure it out on their own. The only reason I may ever consider stopping in such a case, would be if their was a heavy snowstorm or some natural disaster.
Agree completely that she made a dumb move. Hard to feel any sympathy in this instance.
