I get all the ppl saying it’s a realistic reaction for an adult not to believe a kid looking like he’s throwing a tantrum. On the other hand there’s a lot of ppl irl who genuinely believe in having a “bad feeling” or trusting their instincts which has actually saved a bunch of ppl from dangerous situations. There’s been a lot of real life events where ppl got a bad feeling about someone they meet or that they’re in a place they shouldn’t be and then the bad thing actually ends up on the news, to someone else- like the person they met got arrested for murdering someone or an accident happened in that area.
I believe it’s a widely known thing that animals can sense danger ahead of time and children can sense bad people. I get the mom’s lack of belief in the story but you’d think she’d start thinking to believe the mc after the several times he told them to do something and it turned out well 24/7. In this single scene, it feels like she cares more of what others think and how they see them rather than what her child is thinking or feeling. In general, if I were a mother and my kid suddenly starts saying “it’s dangerous, we gotta go now!” Out of nowhere, even if I have my doubts- I’d still choose to believe my child and ignore whatever the people around us thinks of this “tantrum.” I’d at least take him to another area, ask him what’s wrong and be wary of what could possibly be making my child act so frightened rather than make him feel like he’s saying nonsense. In general, brushing kids off like that is an easy way to make your kids stop trusting you and confiding in you. (Unless you have good reason and the kid always says nonsense and plays pranks).
