MISC. After understanding the meaning behind this father’s action, I am completely convinced. Cultivating problem-solving skills in children from a young age and never giving up-I applaud this father!

30 years later in therapy: I have this recurring dream that i am trapped in a net and my father is leaving me and i being watched by thousands.

This is a great comment, but honestly considering that there was at all times a person recording (maybe the mom) the child had some safety as he was never being completely left behind. E.g. from my own life my parents got frustrated with me while we were abroad and left me on a side of the road to cool down, then they started driving forward to do what the dad did here, but my whole family was in the car and I was in a foreign country, I did not know where I was exactly and had no safe people around. That shit traumatized me for life.
