“I could see the objects being thrown at the police and I was like in awe. Like, ‘Oh my God, this is really happening right here with me,’” Toya Graham said. “Low and behold, I turn around and I look in this crowd and my son is actually coming across the street.” In a hoodie, Toya Graham knew her 16-year-old son, grabbing and hitting him—all while police and cameras surrounded her.

God Bless her! Give her the mother of the year award NOW!
Give her the award, right now, and do it the next time that baboon President wants to go on the TV>
Single mother of six kids? How many baby daddies? Maybe if the kid had a father in the house to whoop his ass, he wouldn’t have been out rioting.
Child Abuse!
Call Social Services!
Arrest that woman!
Does she keep him off the corner? What does he do on the corner all that time?
She doesn’t know
If the father is not around, the mother herself had to do the job whooping the kid’s rearend herself. She did a very good job at it.
Well, this actually made me lose some respect for her. Read her comments.
She didn’t go down there to seek him out and bring him home, she was there as a spectator and noticed him in the rioting gang. And she didn’t smack her son because he was helping to trash the neighborhood or carrying looted merchandise or he was throwing rocks and bricks to hurt the police. She stopped him because she didn’t want him to get hurt.
Still better than the other parents, but not much...
Well,
it needed to be asked,
Child Abuse?
the RATS over at the DUmp are simply unbelievable,,,

20. I find it abusive.
Those are some very hard hits to the face/head. I also find it really strange that assault and battery is acceptable when it it directed at a child, but entirely unacceptable when it is directed at adults/strangers.
I bet she would have had the same result if she left out the abuse.

54. Just wanted you to know that you’re not alone in your thinking.
I can’t believe the hero worship of a child abuser on a liberal site. Condoning violence at an anti-violence rally solves nothing.

51. If the kid was white it would’ve been called abuse, the kid is black OK to beat the crap out of him
I was first amused by the report but like anything, I’d reserve judgement here in either direction.
Just when you think there’s no hope for this country one person like this gives you Hope for Change. Run for mayor lady.
Yes, but she wasn’t looting. It seems like she ‘gets’ it - at least from her perspective. The “I didn’t him to get hurt” was an expression of love. It was perfect. If it was to be staged, it couldn’t have been staged better.
What mother wouldn't? We can't change overnight that families are far from perfect in these environments. But we can encourage moms who want their kids to know limits and not be killed in senseless violence. The only way to stop the chaos is if the moms get mad as *ell at the kids who are getting sucked in.
MOM OF THE YEAR !!!
Just like a video of a tornado missing a trailer park, a video of a father disciplining a yute in the hood is in incredibly short supply on the internet.
They cut her off from going in that direction. I wish they'd asked "what would you have done to avoid that situation?" This mom is clearly more intelligent and aware than is the idiot Baltimore mayor.
Good for her trying to straighten her son out.
She says she is a single mom with six children.
That’s way too many fatherless kids in one home.
That kind of fatherless environment is definitely a big part of the root cause of the problem with young black males.
I’s bet even-money that this punks daddy was somewhere in that crowd waiting for his opportunity to loot.
It’s amazing how that kid got cowed the minute that mother laid into him.
People are complaining about her language,
calling her son a “Mother-F’r” and yelling “Get the F’ home!”.
I find this horribly culturally insensitive, bordering on racist!
In Ebonics, “Mother-F’r” is a PRONOUN!
