Baltimore rioter slapped by mom on CNN

[Eaglewings]

She didn't do what she did thinking "gosh. I will be seen on TV!".

Wait, but you just said that you give her kudos because she did what she did while cameras were rolling and recording her actions. So make up your mind!

Except, you can't make up your mind. Because all your reactions and everything you're saying about this are purely emotional reactions. You can't be bothered to think it through.

Maybe all of her children are doing well in school and are hard workers... This guy may have gotten in with some bad apples and she is kicking the Bad right out of him.
Obviously he respects her or he would be hitting her back for embarrassing him.

If this was a white republican mom and it was 2 weeks ago you all would be claiming child abuse and all of the same network talking heads would be lining up to condemn her!

I think this is what is missing in our children's lives, at home and at school. real life consequences for their actions. not participation trophies!

It's true that we don't know what the overall family situation is. And yes, he obviously respects her, or at least fears the repercussions of returning fire. But that does not justify her violence, and it also misses the point. This rioting is a community problem. Where did these young people get the idea that this is the way to deal with their problems? We're failing our youth. Parents are failing them, the community is failing them. And now we see the consequences.

Whatever she is doing, it does not look particularly effective, which is probably why he is out there in the first place: poor parenting. When a parent has to resort to beating on their kid, that parent has failed.

Why hasn't the mother been charged with child abuse.? Case is air-tight.

Good. There is no reason for a minor to be in the street rioting. Go home. Good on this mother for being a good and responsible parent.
However it is a problem of the Government not of this single Mom.
When people are dying hardly parents will save the bloody incident.
Your ideas?

Sadly....she is a single mother of 6 kids.................that is not the hallmarks of a good mother...unless she was married when she had the kids and the father died....

Any background on how many dads helped create those kids............?

 

[2aguy]

I wonder where Dad is.

Or dads?

That's the career of choice for black women. Have a ton of kids and get more welfare courtesy of working whites.

They've been trained to be this way by the Dimocrat party.

I got plenty of whippings from my Mom and earned every one of them. There was no whipping of hers nearly as effective as her threatening to tell my Dad when he got home from work.

50 years of the Great Society. Mission accomplished.

Racism of low expectations - she's mom of the year because she won't let her son riot.

BTW the mom gave an interview on CNN and she's a single mom of six. No we don't need more moms like her.

 

[Gracie]

I'm betting Esmeralda has no kids.

I'm betting Esmeralda has no kids.

We can only hope.

Everyone is talking about how this woman is such a "great" mother for beating her son senseless for being out at the riots. But nobody is asking the right questions. Why was he out there in the first place? What kind of young man are you raising?

How can we condemn violence while praising violence against children?

What an amazingly selfish, condescending, and egotistical post this is ... you hit the trifecta!!

 

[Spare_change]

I give her kudos for doing what a mother does.

Mothers beat their children senseless? That's what mother's do?

No, mother's raise their children the correct way in the first place, so that they don't turn into teenage rioters.

" ... the 'correct' way ...'

Did y'all get that? How much more egotistical can you get than that?

YOU are failing our youth .... she didn't fail her son. She is to be commended for the lesson she gave him.

Which lesson? What was the lesson that taught him that being out in a riot was a good idea?

You're just trolling. Can't you see she's right? No matter if she shouts or slaps him.

Excuse me while I puke over the idiotic Goody Two-Shoes spin-doctoring on this one...

Kudos to that mother for going out to find her kid and getting his ass off the firing line...

And smacking him upside the head, as he so desperately needed at that moment...

When the blood is hot, "talk" simply won't do the job...

This mother weighed the relative merits of pointlessly trying to talk to her youngster while his adrenalin was flowing and while he was agitated and perhaps losing him to the rioting, or slapping him upside the head, getting his attention, getting his head out of his ass, and getting his ass back home again... and he is alive to tell the tale... the results speak for themselves... decisively.

Gutsy call... nicely done, young lady... nicely done... God bless.

It's pretty appalling how many people here support violence against children, and don't stop to wonder why our youth think it's okay to take to the streets and throw rocks at the police.
