i'm glad the parents pressed charges. this woman seems unstable.

[tayzonday]

When his Dad said “get inside, ” I found a house inside my house. That Dad is business.

[binder]

She should be jailed for assaulting a child.

[babygiraffe]

Good on Dad for staying calm, and simply telling his son to "get inside."
That's exactly the kind of father every kid deserves to have. ❤

[KarmaBSwift]

It is sad that an adult lies about what a child did or didn’t do to cover her own actions. The woman is pathetic

[autumnalr]

I love that the dad comes out and says get inside. Perfect way to deescalate. There is nothing worse than bad neighbors.

[yoyohanaBR]

Wow dad was clearly in flames but he stayed calm, that's incredible

[mtw]

I'm impressed how much trust these parents had in their son. They didn't even waver

[carsonharmon]

She freaked me out when she realized he had a camera. “COME ON BOY LETS SEE THE CAMERA” as she was walking fast hunched over to him like in a freaking horror movie.😂😂😂

“Your parents should be ashamed” she says that to a kid literally doing nothing wrong and being a good kid.

[allyoopdan]

Children 12 and under are allowed to ride bikes on the sidewalk. That woman is a menace.

[jrojas]

Dads a boss. Just very calmly said “get inside”. I’m sure he handled the situation as needed.

[TimeBucks]

I love this kid for standing up for himself

[timberwolfdtproductions]

I respect the father for his calm approach; I respect the mother for calling the police.

[openorwap]

Wow! Those parents handled that in a much more constructive way than I would have. I'm not a parent, but a very protective Auntie, and I'm not sure I would have had the restraint they had 🐯

[SimonDover]

Dad doing his job.
He sat inside listening.
When he heard his cue, just walks out.
Game over.

[cheyennetapiasmith]

She is lucky. Not many parents would have been so "professional" in handling this situation.

[MementoMori-kndh]

The absolute DAD vibes coming off of his dad. Just immediately listening to what happened seeing the fact that his son was struck, and promptly taking control of the situation by directing his son inside and both parents following the encounter by pressing charges

[Alex.Brasil]

2nd degree battery correct? Thats 8 years in prison and 2, 000 dollar fine!

[zadkiel]

The father handled the situation like a total boss.
