Video of Mom 'Punishing' Her Son Goes Viral & Gets Her Arrested

I feel bad for him and I hope the get him out of flint and I also hope he chooses not to join a gang.

Supposedly it was because of his grades, and he was acting like a "gangster."
Quoting MelanieJK:I've never heard of anyone spanking as a preventative/anticipatory measure. The kid didn't even do anything wrong did he? I haven't even heard of old timers who took their kids out to the woodshed making it a group thing and celebrating it. This is sad.

Not me....but plenty of people would see nothing wrong with it.
Quoting Anonymous:It's just a good old fashioned ass whooping! Just a good parent disciplining her troubled child (before the meddling goverment stepped in and took her God given rights away). And it obviously IS considered commendable in many homes and communities, which is why she had no concerns about posting it to Facebook.
By the way, I don't really believe it's okay. But clearly some people DO believe this kind of thing is what a responsible, loving parent needs to do every now and then to keep their children in line. They DO NOT believe it is abuse and will angrily defend their right to raise and discipline their child as they see fit. "Acceptable levels of physical discipline" is a subjective term when it happens inside a private house.


Plenty isn't a number and has no context and you should let those plenty speak for themselves.
Quoting almondpigeon: This. I know plenty of people who would celebrare this woman and give her a high 5.

Silver Member on Apr. 10, 2014 at 10:29 AMI saw that video, and I was appalled by it. The hypocricy of it was just ridiculous, listening to the guy behind the camera talking about how he is "wanted" and saying other completly inappropirate things. I was thinking no wonder the kid may be acting out, look what he is being raised by.
