The Stay at Home Mother

From the files of “You’ve got to be Kidding” comes one of those stories that is both shocking and unthinkable.

Usually, it's an empty threat: "If you kids don't stop fighting, I'm going to stop this car right now and leave you here!" But a mother from an upper-crust New York suburb went through with it, ordering her battling 10- and 12-year-old daughters out of her car in White Plains' business district and driving off.....

The mom, Madlyn Primoff, who is a partner in a Manhattan law firm, pleaded not guilty to a charge of endangering a child this week.

White Plains police said the mom ordered the arguing girls out of the car Sunday evening as they were driving home. She left them at Post Road and South Broadway, an area of shops and offices which was three miles from their home - and drove off.

The 12-year-old eventually caught up with her mom, however the 10-year-old was found by a "Good Samaritan" on the street, upset and emotional about losing her mom.

The girl gave police her mother's name and their address in well-to-do Scarsdale area. Shortly afterward, the mom called police from home to say the 10-year-old was “missing”.

She was told to go to police headquarters, where she was arrested.

Can you imagine how traumatic this would be for those two children to be abandoned by her like that?

This mom has scarred her children for life.

What are your thoughts on this mom?
