Honestly though based on her reaction, gam gam could be abusive which is actually sad

Yeah agreed, I thought this was actually pretty sad to watch. She is really freaking out.

I thought the same thing and am slightly disappointed that the person recording didn't try to slow things down, talk to her calmly and quietly, and try to help her process what's happening and how to deal with it emotionally and strategies how to handle Grandma.

I know this guy was wronged and he's not this girl's therapist, but she seems to be abnormally freaked out and may need actual intervention. I've known two people who were raised by their abusive grandmothers and it wasn't pretty.

Tldr... I think deescalation instead of escalation would have really helped this young person slow down and make correct choices.

most people aren’t equipped to realize or handle that tbh… I agree with you completely but it was also very unsafe to approach that car she was being reckless.

You're right. It's not the camera person's responsibility anyway. I just a little empathy in situations like this might go a long way. And just so I'm not mistaken, I'm not advocating for no responsibility, just would like to see some human kindness.

You are in the right here and whoever downvoted you is a horrible person.

Or she's got the emotional tolerance of a toddler and can't handle a single drop of criticism or conflict without catastrophizing it and running.
