To sneakily admire this mum of a bullied child

[churchandstate]

I read this expecting to be disgusted, then I watched the video and by the time she was putting her hair up I couldn't help it: I begrudgingly liked her. Shocking that it came to this, but I can only imagine she was at the end of her tether.

I’m with you op.

I agree too, bullies are horrid, evil people!!

Good on her!!

Good. For. Her!

I don’t sneakily admire here. I openly admire her. To get to that point I assume she’s tried the proper channels and got no where.
If anyone or anything is hurting your child. claws come out. It’s a motherly instinct. Like a lion protecting its cub.
Oh and maybe the little shit will think twice about making other people’s lives a misery with his twatting bullying.

It would have been much better for everyone involved if she taught her child to deal with it (one way or another) themselves. As it stands the confrontation is likely to make her own child a greater target more than anything else.

It's outside court? I imagine the bully will just up his game. Unless mum is actually able to carry out the threats and has connections she has probably made things worse if the other kid is part of a gang.

Also admire her, and have to admit I did something similar (a couple of times,) when mine were being bullied, at around 14 - 15 y.o. The girls bullying them were 16 to 19 y.o at the time.

They didn't bother going near my DC again.

Never under-estimate a mother's love for her child. I would kill for mine.

I couldn’t get past her nostrils.

@Velveteenfruitbowl. It’s not a child’s job or responsibility to handle bullying.

Well she looks very comfortable in that mode.

I love her. And no it's not the kids job to handle the bullies. What a shit attitude.

@littlehappyhippo

Hope you enjoy doing time at some point...what a ridiculous thing to say, this isn't an Attenborough film. We've evolved beyond that

Well, I don't admire her. We have no idea of the background, what has atcually happened or even if the alleged bully is guilty.

She does herself no favours going off on one and acting like a fishwife though. Doesn't look like the first time she's done it, either. And why film herself? Bizarre.

She looks like a mother who loves her child and cannot continue seeing the pain they are being put through. That is what she looks like.

Oh my god what an amazing woman! I really applaud her and I hope the little shit she was telling off thinks twice now.
We live in a society that is way to soft and accepting of bullying and I really wish there were more parents able to do what this woman has done.

I really don’t give a shit if she’s threatening a “child” (). I’ve seen videos posted in the past on social media to know that these evil shits know exactly what they are doing and if they are big enough to dish it out they are big enough to receive it.

You can hear him in the background:
“You can’t touch me.” And don’t they fucking know it these bullies? They act all tough and violent and then hide behind their fucking ages knowing nobody can touch them .

I can’t stand bullies and I can’t stand the people who make excuses for them. I think bullies deserve everything they get, whether they’re 13 or 30.

It would have been much better for everyone involved if she taught her child to deal with it (one way or another) themselves

The vaguery of this sentence makes me think you don't actually have a better suggestion... but just in case, what 'way or another' would you suggest?

Some diplomacy / non-violent communication techniques while their head is being pushed into the toilet bowl for the third time that week?

I loathe bullies and schools rarely deal with them. The mother has my complete sympathy.

Love the OTT lioness responses

“I’d kill for my kids”

“If anyone were to look at my precious child the wrong way I’d rip their throats out”

“I’d rather plunge my own eyeballs out with a fork and eat them than let my child eat a pot noodle”

would have been much better for everyone involved if she taught her child to deal with it (one way or another)

Victim blaming shit. I despair of some people.

There's often no "proper" way to deal with it effectively. In school there was no real punishment or deterrent in my experience.

She's probably exhausted all the legit methods. But frankly some bullies (esp the little shits shouting "you can't touch me") only understand being stood up to.

I hope the cunt pack of bullies is scared enough to stop.

@SatansReject

Haha exactly..it's just so overblown, like you're not a real mum unless you'd physically destroy their aggressor

would have been much better for everyone involved if she taught her child to deal with it (one way or another)

Or maybe the bully just needs to stop bullying and stop being a little twat?

I would do the same for either of my children. Being bullied can change your life forever. My mum was bullied as a child and she can still recall it like it was yesterday, she is 76!

The only thing that appeared to stop my daughter being bullied was me going out to the bullies (who also lived in our street) and yelling at them when they started on at her outside school as well. The one who went to her school had been told off, punished and warned about his behaviour in school. I was probably a little more measured than the woman in the article, though I can't recall everything I said, but the words "Little shit" were certainly used.

I didn't film myself and didn't end up in the Daily Mail, fortunately though.

And maybe her son has tried to deal with it. Maybe the school don’t give a shit.
