After 8-year-old Zoe Wilson’s solo trip to Target in September went viral, her mother, Tangie Wilson, is still processing the event. In a recent interview, she described the stress and confusion surrounding Zoe’s decision to take the family car while Tangie was asleep. The day before, Zoe had been upset after an argument with her sister, leading her to plan the trip. Zoe took the car keys, her mother’s ID and wallet, and the family dog, Bear, without any prior driving experience except for occasional go-kart rides. When her sister noticed Zoe was missing, the family and police were alerted, and security footage showed Zoe driving away. She arrived at Target alone and browsed without attracting attention.
