Parking lot ‘Karen’ MOCKED for reaction to stranger: ‘DO NOT APPROACH ME!’

from The Johnny Rogers Show · host Johnny Rogers

In this video, we discuss a recent encounter that a TikTok mom had in a parking lot that has caused quite a stir online. The mom, who goes by the handle @living.transparently and posts marriage and parenting tips, recounted an incident where she reprimanded a stranger for approaching her in a parking lot. In the clip that has gone viral, she said she was "alone" with her son when a man approached her, and without waiting to hear what he wanted, she yelled at him, "Do not approach me!" She kept repeating this command until the man walked away. While some people sympathized with her methods of avoiding potential stranger danger, others found her reaction a bit over the top. The video sparked a debate online about whether her preemptive reprimand is how innocent people wind up in jail. However, the mother explained in a follow-up video that she learned this defensive move from Gavin De Becker’s 2000 book "Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane)." The book "shatters widely held myths about danger and safety and helps parents find some certainty about life’s highest-stakes questions," according to the description. So, what do you think about this situation? Was the mom right to react the way she did, or do you think she was being too hysterical? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
