Which would be better though? Ignore the children walking through the desert with a handful of adults because there is a chance someone may get offended and just HOPE that they don't end up dead in the back of a truck trailer roasted alive like the 53 found in the back of a semi trailer in Texas, or call someone who can check to make sure everything's OK? If it turns out to be traffickers investigating yourself could get you killed and still result in dead kids. Where this annoying woman screwed up was insisting on uploading the whole situation to social media to make herself a center of attention then throwing a fit when she got attention, just not the type she was hoping for.

FYI I'm from an area with a 40% Hispanic population my stepdad was half Cherokee and was constantly being mistaken as Hispanic by the Hispanics. Are those Hispanics racists too? No because many South Americans are the descendants of the same native tribes and peoples that are living on reservations in the US today, some may even be descendants of the same family, so many tend to bear a striking resemblance to the people on native American reservations. If you remember from American History class many native people left what is now the US during the trail of tears because they didn't want to go to the reservations. If Hispanics born in South America could so easily confuse my half Cherokee stepdad for being a native South American then maybe we should cut other races and ethnicities some slack for making the same mistake. My stepdad never got mad at them or rude with them for their mistake, why not just try to be more like him?

Dehydration is terrifying. So, in that context, calling the sheriff is a good idea, because the police should be on alert that they might need emergency services, at any moment. I mean, there have been IDIOTS go out walking in the wilderness, thinking "2 16-ounce bottles of water tucked in their pockets was quite sufficient, thanks. OH! We can use that to BOIL our hot dogs, and then throw out the yucky hot dog water, rather than drink it. We don't need to listen to what the ranger says about walking on THIS trail." And then they died of dehydration before the sun set the next day. Real stories. I'm glad that these were kids on a field trip, the sort they have done in the past, and they knew how to plan it, and I'm sure that they had water on their vehicle, or else they taught the children how to find water out there in the desert, because they've done this before and nobody knew about it, which means, "nobody died." Yay!

So she could have apologized but just chose to double down. Did she stay Flagstaff? That isn't even near the border. Also, even if she had legitimate concerns she could have called and not posted anything. Sigh.

[@ahhhreelmonsters366]

people are posting videos of illegal immigrants crossing all the time... and she didn't double down, she literally made a video saying she was wrong... multiple videos actually... you must be so mad that trump won 🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@deathmauler181]

​@@ahhhreelmonsters366 god you're dumb. " calling cops on a school field trip is fine because you must hate trump"

[@micki0finn430]

@@ahhhreelmonsters366 Wait, her being dumb is because I hate Trump. People do dumb things, human trafficking is a real thing, I can oppose human trafficking and think publicly posting a video of school children on a field trip accusing them of being in the US illegally is stupid. It also makes people who hold the very real concern about human trafficking look stupid. Also yes, I don't like Trump, but I stopped like Democrats a while ago, I mainly say out and laughed at this election.

I think she was accountable at first. Her excuse for no deleting it was terrible

[@mason4354]

I dont think she has to, it doesn't violate any guidelines

[@GLoLChibs]

@mason4354 "Oh I'm so worried about children getting trafficked!" So she...leaves a video up...of children...without their parents' consent.

[@mason4354]

@@GLoLChibs I asked the parents of each one of the kids in the video that I could identify if they minded. Every single one gave an emphatic no they do not mind

[@GLoLChibs]

@mason4354 If you can't see the issue then go sit and eat a PBJ. Don't go filming kids or posting videos of kids that aren't yours. It's fing creepy.

Girl! All you had to do was say, "sorry, my bad." Why we gotta do all of this?

[@tyrantking9000]

If I mistake a school for a bunch of illegal immigrants, and then was told "hey, that's just a school of Native Americans, not illegals." I would've apologized and deleted the original video.

[@jeremiahfix5529]

Without people filming themselves, we would not know, just how dumb some people are.

So you lived on your property since April but didn't bother to find out if anything or anyone was in you're environment, are you that much of a recluse?

More likely what I like to call "Teansplant Syndrome" since moving to this new gated community she probably hasn't ventured far from it and met any of the locals, mostly sticking to other transplants living in her gated community.

[@robertnguyen9493]

The fact that the kids turned out to be native Americans and she was accusing them of being illegal immigrants makes this so much worse

[@FrankRistrettoVT]

Moral of the story: if you think something bad is happening? Just call the cops and make it a private matter; the police will escalate it to a public safety concern if there really is an issue. NEVER record something unless you think an altercation is about to happen.

[@deathmauler181]

I can understand the point being inmocent but when you're informed otherwise " sorry my bad " but she went the extra stupid mile

[@SunnyAndShare]

Girl saw some brown kids walking around and just conveniently forgot that brown Americans exist.

And the hole keeps getting bigger with every post. Some people will be their own demise.

[@MrsShocoTaco]

She should've checked with authorities and waited for a reply before posting anything.

[@Chihuawy]

Why do people use the, "My friend/husband/wife/kid(s)/etc. are a this ethnicity or race, so I can't be wrong, racist or etc." that argument does nothing but make you look worse 😅

[@ahhhreelmonsters366]

no it doesn't... if you're racist, you wouldn't marry outside of your race... mentioning that her husband is a different race lends evidence that she is not racist... the logic follows and can be applied univrsally, for example, if someone accuses you of not liking pizza, and you tell them you had pizza for lunch, it lends evidence to the fact that you do in fact like pizza... i know logic is hard, and you just want to accuse people of racism because you can't actually find it anywhere 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Being concerned about the illegals overrunning our country currently isn't "racism"

[@jessekukendall9273]

Does she really say that Well I've might've missed it when I was replying, but holy hell the pretentious woman wouldn't shut up about not being racist, her husband is Latino, at least she didn't say Latinx lol. Her kids are, she friends with the native people too and knows about their culture and some celebrations. No one cares what she knows, just want her to acknowledge she made a very stupid assumption and she had all the time in the world to delete the video instead dying on the hill of arguing with people on the internet. And got the account banned. That's Gold

It's sad we live in a time that everybody has to worry about everybody's business instead of minding their own and living their own lives and enjoying it. Life's too short for this crap.The good thing about it is these people are going to live a short life with all this stress they are putting on themselves.

Because being dumb usually comes with an unnatural bravery, arrogance and even entitlement. Not sure why, but this seems mother nature's rules at this point.

I was about to say that maybe her brain has melted from the Arizona sun and that is why she is acting crazy but nope, it was posted in November. It is in the 70s during the middle of the day. Probably lower temps in flagstaff. One thing I will say, most people in Arizona will see something like she did, ignore it, and carry on with their day.
