That kid is very fortunate that he has a mom who truly loves him and cares about his well being. Hopefully, he will learn from the incidence and move onto better things.

1000% agree. I hope he grows up to be a PRODUCTIVE member of society...
Well, now we know why the kid thought it was okay to take part in violence in the first place.
And the family cycle of violence wheel spins on affecting all of us.
oh geezus. I never spanked my kids but I remember when one of them was 15 and cut school, I drove all over until I found him - in the bowling alley smoking with his pals. I physically drug him out of there calling him every name I could think of and embarrassed the crap out him, had he resisted me or pulled away from me I would have smacked him silly, and that would not have been because I'm 'violent' I am far from it, but it is because I love my son. BTW, he never cut school again and for 6 months after that I drove him to school and walked him to his 1st period class just to make sure he understood that I was serious.
I saw that and couldn't believe my eyes. She should have been arrested for child abuse or assault. If that's what she does to him in public, I cannot imagine the horrors that child has seen at home. If he is a "delinquent", she's probably the reason.

I don't think anyone can honestly say he was physically abused by his mom. What she did do was humiliate him in front of his peers. I'm sure that hurt him much more than any of those swats he got from mom. Kudos to her for standing up for what's right. Hopefully he'll learn something from it and correct his course and steer towards a law abiding, productive member of society.
In this case, she may have very well saved his life or at the very least kept him from being arrested. But I do have some issues with this.
1. Too many parents (and adults in general) use excessive violence to discipline kids. I wonder if she treated him like this often growing up. Violence begets violence!
2. There is definitely a double standard in society. Had this been his father, both would have probably ended up arrested.
I hope the kid learned a well deserved lesson.
Or rather, you save the "big guns" for something that might get junior killed. You don't spank your kid for knocking over a glass of juice. You spank your kid if they run into the road.

She did the right thing, even saved his life.
She could have stayed where she was and allowed her son to continue on with the violent destruction and acts of violence.
I'd have done the same thing if I got word my son was there.
I also bet not one person in authority would see this as an assault or child abuse in that situation.
If she does this regularly, then I'd agree but not in that very dangerous situation he placed himself in.
Sure, "go mom." However, the reality is a couple swats from your mom doesn't really change anyone's behavior. It just makes you realize it's easy to take a few whacks now and then. That is why corporal punishment doesn't really work.
It made me think twice before I committed a wrong.............Sometimes that makes ALL the difference in your life......Its like anything else,for some people it works and for some it doesn't
