This is a threat that was actually followed through by my parents with my younger brother when he was 9 years old. We were driving to my community where my mom had grown up in, and my younger brother was being very mean and belligerent to our mom. So we were driving in the middle of nowhere, so my dad had stopped the car told my younger brother to get out and he actually drove away.
Not very far, mind you, just far away enough to have my younger brother run back to the vehicle as quickly as possible. My dad then asked him if he was going to behave, and he said he was going to behave.
I do agree with Shin's statement

It was probably a bit extreme to drive all the way home, I think chucking them out and driving round the block would have been enough to shut them up.

The thing is that, if you make a threat you have to make good on that threat because the moment you go back on any kind of threat or punishment that just gives a kid more grounds to think what they're doing is ok. In my experience they'll actually take advantage of it.
It doesn't matter whether or not your rich, or what kind of neighborhood you live it. Your still a parent and you have to do what you feel is best for the kids.
I think with this lady, she kind of had the right idea but she went a little too far in terms of trying to prove her point. Thankfully nothing horrible happened to these little girls.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
