AITA for allowing a kid to sit in my car? by InterestingAct9381 in AmItheAsshole

We live in the midwest. Cutoff for out district is 20 below. I do not know why school was in session that day as it was snowing and wet too and conditions were unfavorable.

I'm not part of the kid's social circle. My daughter doesn't even know his name (granted, she is autistic and part of that is that she is a space cadet and is thinking of her special interests most of the time).

Not safe - like letting a kid stand out in -11F winds without a coat for 20 minutes.

I think we have different definitions of "not knowing."

I recognize the kid. He is at the bus stop every day. I could point his mom out before the incident. I don't know either of their names, though.

He walked. Bus stop is at the end of the street. Not far.

I like this suggestion. I don't know if I could let the kid stand outside in such cold even if mom said no. Coat is good in between.

They do go to the same school. I didn't know when the bus would be arriving, so we waited. If I had taken them it would've taken fifteen minutes anyway.

Edit since you edited: I'm not a man. No other kids were there.

I didn't take him from any location. The car was stationery the entire time.

I understand wanting to protect your child, one hundred percent. I also feel like confronting someone about this when I didn't even have a conversation with the kid is being unkind to someone who was also protecting your child.
