My long ass story: if you make it to the end, thank you for reading.

So I was on my way home from the grocery store with my 18 month old son. He is rear facing right behind the drivers seat in my pathfinder suv. I had my front two windows down. I was so close to my house, I mean less than 5 minutes to home, safety.

Well, I am driving and notice two boys a little older than my oldest son, so about 10. As I see them, I’m thinking these kids should be in school, huh that’s weird. Well I’m driving going about 30 and hear a loud ‘bang’. I’m thinking these asshole kids just threw something at my car. I’m going to be pissed if my new car is scratched!

I was thinking I should stop, I should pull over but really it’s a main road and they were on the other side (so passenger side).

So I get home, get out and look for this scratch. I don’t see anything and think okay, I’m going crazy.

I open the back passenger door and look inside to find this big ass piece of asphalt right under my sons car seat!

If he were forward facing it would have hit him. If my other two kids were in the car, it could of hit them. It somehow went through my passenger side window, it my ceiling in my car (black mark and tear) and him his car seat which is why it was a loud ‘bang’.

I have so many regrets and can’t get over it. I should have stopped. I should have had my windows up. Those asshole kids should of been in school. I’m so mad at myself. So so mad. I honestly feel guilty that my son was so close to being hurt.
