A video surfaced online of a mother severely disciplining her son at his school, igniting criticism. The mother was apparently called to the school by the teacher after her child misbehaved. It is unclear what the child did, but the disciplinary actions that the mother used left many social media users debating whether she deserved to be charged or applauded.
The footage has gone viral, garnering more than 19 million views on the social media platform X since it was posted on February 25. The video begins with the mother hauling the little boy outside the school building and stopping when she reaches his teacher and another educator. While hauling him out, she uses obscenities while yelling at him with seeming disrespect toward his teacher.
Shortly after, the mother uses a belt to beat her son, who cries out and falls to the ground. The woman drags him to his feet and pulls him to the teacher, where she continues to yell at him. The child apologises to his teacher for being disrespectful while crying, and the mother proceeds to strike him with the belt.
“If I have to come back up here, it’s me and you, nigga,” she yells in the child’s face. The video, which is more than a minute long, shows the mother threatening the child by saying, “If this f**king woman calls me again, I’m going to break your f**king face.”
She states that if she returns to the school for a similar reason, she will take away all his privileges and leave him in the room until he dies. She angrily expresses that the teacher does not have to teach any of the “badass kids” at the school, including her son, but the teacher still does it.
In the comments, some viewers criticised the mother and claimed that the child may have adapted his behaviour from her. Others justified her actions, stating that it would reinforce what behaviours are unacceptable and prevent the child from misbehaving again.
