Frankly, I'd like to know more about the credibility of the witness. In the first story there was no teacher who drove by in a car. In the first story there was a mother starting in the door window, along with her young son.
I hope that the little boy is alright, but there are too few facts presented to make a determination ---- but in the original story it made the M-O-M out to be a kook peeping jane.
I still maintain the woman had gone lamping, and was just getting home at that hour.
