Pregnant Mom Faces Jail Time for Letting 3-Year-Old Pee in Parking Lot

Ok – so this is kind of wild.

First off- I don’t think anyone should be peeing in a parking lot. If you’re out in the middle of nowhere, then sure. Sometimes a side-of-the-road pee stop is necessary. But peeing in a parking lot seems gross.

That being said, this is a little boy we’re talking about- and emergencies happen.

A pregnant mom let her 3-year-old pee in the parking lot of a gas station as she was worried she couldn’t get him to the restroom in time. She’s now facing charges.

According to Fox News:

Brooke Johns told FOX5 Atlanta she was driving around Augusta on Wednesday when her son alerted her he needed to make a pit stop. Johns says she pulled into a gas station parking lot and, after being unable to carry the child inside, let him urinate outside while covering him. That attracted the attention of a nearby police officer.

“I said ‘accidents happen.’ And he was like – ‘take him in the bathroom,’” Johns said to the station. “What if I would have ran in the bathroom and someone had been in there? What was I going to let him do? Pee on the floor of the gas station?”

Ok – I can see the conundrum here. I definitely think it’s better for this kid to pee in the bushes than on the floor of the gas station.

Yikes.

Johns now has a court date at the end of the month — just days before she is due with her next child, FOX5 Atlanta reported.

The judge that is assigned to the case could drop the charges, but if not, Johns reportedly faces up to a thousand dollars in fines and 60 days of jail time.

So what do you guys think? who’s in the wrong here?
