This mom is making waves and is being praised as “Mom Of The Year”. In spite of all the turmoil from the Baltimore riot, she sticks to what has to be done — and that is to discipline her son.
So she grabs, slaps, and drags her son away from the riot. While it is a radical way to discipline her son, she does make a clear point.
This smart mom did not want her son to have anything to do with the riot. What she did to make that point got her a lot of praises from the police, media, and ordinary folks.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts had good words to say about this mom. CBS Baltimore quotes Batts saying:
“I wish I had more parents who took charge of their kids tonight.”
Now everybody wants to find this mom. Here’s what ABC 2 News has to say about the incident:
“This woman saw her son causing trouble and she went old schooling. You can see how she takes matters in her own hands. We want to know who this woman is. If you know her email us, Facebook us, call us. Get in contact with the newsroom … People are talking about this woman all over the country …”
See how this mom became an overnight sensation with the original footage of the “mom-handling”.
Here is the video of tough mom showing her kid some tough love. Someday, this kid will thank her mom big time.
Here’s a news clip that includes an interview of the photojournalist who caught everything on video.
According to Manny Locke, the photojournalist that shot it all, he was at the right place at the right time. This is how he describes the scene between the mom and her son.
“She was using profanity. He was trying to hide his face because he had a black mask. She said, ‘You don’t think I can notice you!’ She did what every parent should have done.”
That is one tough mom that really loves her son. If only we had more parents like her to guide a straying kid. Way to go mom! We salute you!
Would you do the same thing if you saw your child throwing stones at the police? Do you think this mom should really be “Mom of the year”?
