When you see something suspicious, it’s usually better to be safe than sorry. At least, that’s what this teenage girl thought when she saw a drunk woman being coaxed into a vehicle by a group of guys.

When she confronted the group and took the woman back inside to sober up, she didn’t quite get the thanks she was expecting.

You’ll want to read on for this one.

AITA for keeping a woman to go with her “friends”!

So I (17 f) got home later than usual last night. Due to my mum working, I still had to take the dogs out.

Because it was already really dark, I didn’t feel comfortable walking our usual route.

Afterwards, we decided to make our way into an inner, less remote part of town to buy treats and some stuff for my mum.

It was then that she noticed something unusual.

On the way back, I noticed a group of guy’s coming out of a pub, kind of dragging/carrying someone between them.

I didn’t really have a good gut feeling, so I decided to watch them a little.

It seemed a group of guys was trying to take advantage of a person in distress.

Said person was really out of it. The guys called them pet names tried to get them up to their car.

So she decided to get involved.

I decided that it was very fishy, then pulled out my phone, put on my torch, and loudly asked if everything was alright and if they needed help or an ambulance.

One of them quickly answered that everything’s fine, their sister just partied way too much.

She seriously doubts this.

(First of all, they looked nothing alike, and second, why call her baby, when she’s your sister? Is that normal??)

So she questions further.

I asked where they would be taking her, and he answered home. I asked her if she could tell me who these men were to her and if she wanted to go with them, but she just moaned!

She wanted some proof they were telling the truth.

I asked him if he could somehow prove that they were her brothers because I was suspicious and worried for her? He called me names.

She decides she needs to get the woman away from them.

I’ve had enough and moved towards them to get to her. Because of my good deed, the boys they backed off of her immediately.

I’ve held onto her and told them that I would bring her back inside and that they could wait with me till she sobered up and could tell me what she wanted.

They just called me names and ran.

She waits for the woman to give her side of the story.

I took her inside, gave her water and waited with her.

She wouldn’t really sober up, but told me that she wanted her mum. So I gave her her phone out of her pocket to unlock, which she did, and she called her mum to please come pick her up.

When the mother finally shows off, she doesn’t react the way the teen thought she would.

Mum showed up another hour later, really mad at me and told me that those men where her friends and I should’ve let her go with them.

She also insulted me (and my mom?!) took her daughter and ran off.

The mother reassures her daughter that she was only doing what she thought was right.

My mum said that I wasn’t trying to be malicious was just genuinely worried so generally I’ve done no harm. She is still fuming over how I was treated though!

I believe I may be the AH because I still kind of held her hostage!

AITA?

What kind of “thank you for looking out for me” is that?

What did Reddit think?

This commenter brings up valid points.

This redditor gives the teen the kudos she deserves for her brave act.

It’s possible the inebriated woman’s mother was just projecting.

It’s clear the woman’s mother wasn’t fully grasping the gravity of the situation.

While this Good Samaritan’s may not have been correct in her suspicions, she still did right by her conscience.

Always trust your gut no matter what.
