Quilette had previously instructed the school to notify her if something similar occurred. She added, "I've always made it a point to tell the school that if my daughter leaves with someone outside of ourselves, that they need to contact us immediately." She spoke with the school administration to see if they knew who it was in order to find out. They told her about the stranger.

Quilette recalls them telling her that he was "tall, stubby, looked like he was out of shape, his hair was fragile, he had a light mustache." She said, "I asked them did they have any proof. They sent over a photo. My heart started beating. I started whimpering. I was shocked."

Quilette took a good look at the picture and realized it was none other than herself. She exclaims, "It was ME without my wig! It was ME y'all!" More than 4 million people have watched the video, and they all thought it was hilarious. The video has garnered about 1.4M likes.
