A mom had an altercation with a train conductor at a mall in Arizona, which led to him calling her a “whore” in front of her daughter. However, after the incident was posted online, netizens opined that the woman’s actions warranted the name-calling. Footage of the confrontation was shared on Instagram, with the words “Mom calls train man a Pedo,” written across it. The clip begins with the man yelling, “F**k you whore,” leaving the mom shocked at his outburst.
He went on to tell the customer that surveillance cameras were recording the incident, before recalling what happened. “I didn’t say a damn word to you, I just looked at you as you walked away,” the man recalled, implying that he didn’t start the confrontation.
In response to the man’s explanation, the mom accused him, saying, “You’re a pedophile.” He quickly fired back, “You’re a whore.” When the customer informed the worker that she wanted her kid to get on the train, he blurted, “I don’t want her on my train, not with a whore mother like you.”
The agitated mom turned to customers watching the scene and reported that the operator had insulted her. However, no one came to her defense. Again, the employee recounted the woman’s actions to her. “You walked away and then turned around and tried to jump on me,” the man explained.
Before the clip cuts, one customer who witnessed the scene unfold slammed the woman for causing the fight. According to him, she called the train conductor a child predator unprovoked.
Despite the confrontation, she insisted that the conductor was a pedophile and told the male witness, “You too.”
In the video’s caption, the mother shared her version of the incident, alleging the conductor wanted to take her child alone on the ride without parental supervision.
The clip went viral, with netizens taking sides with the conductor, pointing out that the mom was in the wrong. One commenter wrote, “That’s a strong accusation. She deserved that.” A second individual added, “The tone of her voice tells me everything I need to know.”
This social media enthusiast called the mom a “Karen,” while another lashed out at the mom for instigating the fight. “Professional victim calling someone a child diddler then get mad he reacts,” criticized the user.
A fourth user testified that the train’s operator was a good man who didn’t deserve the ordeal with the mom. The observer wrote, “My kids and I have ridden on this train with this guy many times over the years. I’m disgusted by the actions of this lady.”
It is not hard to tell who is in the wrong, but did the train conductor go too far?
