Mother of the Year

[SideShow Bob]

A mother of a teen boy beats the living Jeebus out of him when she catches him involved in the Baltimore rioting.

decent story.. but I hate the fact that we're calling her the mother of the year for raising a kid who masked up to go loot, steal and vandalize, just because she showed up to the parenting game at the 2 minute warning in the fourth quarter...

You can only lead a horse to water, as the saying goes.
Be honest now, so how many times when you were at that age did you do something and not get caught, that your parents would have given you the same kind of beat down if they would have caught you doing it ?

Yeah, but if I'd have been involved with that kind of activity, my mother would have just shot me, she may have made it a wounding shot but I would bet money I'd have needed medical attention one way or the other.

Good for her

Good for her

And her bank account. CBS scored the first of many $$ interviews with her.

I heard about it on the radio this afternoon. I say good for her for trying to raise that boy right. And lucky him for having a mother that cares enough about him to try to steer him straight.

Had she raised him right, he would have not been out in the streets to begin with.

But that aside, good for her and furthermore it probably was good for the kid. Who knows, maybe Mama just saved his life.

Agree with Sniper, the kid is 16 from what I have gleaned. The whuppin is probably ten years overdue.

nostalgic: like times when parents were parents. Parents would give you so much loving it hurt (often physically), you almost could not survive it.

Saw it this morning. I don't know about mother of the year but I applaud her for trying to do something right with the "kid".
