Awww! Former Fox News anchor Courtney Friel accidentally made a 4-year-old cry on his first day of school [video]

Former Fox News anchor and current KTLA reporter Courtney Friel is on the “back to school” beat this week in Los Angeles and it’s not going too well.

When she asked this four-year-old named Andrew if he’d miss his mom when he started Pre-K, he adorably told Friel, “no,” but then broke down in tears as he realized the enormity of what was about to happen:

For the second day in a row I'm on "back to school" coverage- and I just made a pre-K kid cry- I feel awful about that! @KTLA 1,3,6pm ????

Here’s the video:

Ahhh! Poor little guy!

Although many commenters on KTLA’s Facebook page aren’t very happy with the way Friel asked the question:

@JoeAlv oh I missed that. I'm getting attacked on FB about it

Meh. Andrew will be fine!
