A Baltimore woman took action when she saw her son hanging out with violent demonstrators Monday.
The woman, identified by ABC affiliate WMAR as the boy's mother, was watching television when she saw her son throwing rocks at police, the station reported.
"Are you kidding me?" she's heard saying. The station did not identify her by name.

An individual mother-and-child incident like this one is the best way to get these violent groups to listen, according to ABC News contributor and former FBI agent Steve Gomez.
"If you get them separated, and you get their family member, someone they respect, to lay into them," he said. "I don't think that they're going to listen to anybody other than their parents or someone in their family that they respect."
Fifteen officers were injured Monday when violent groups threw bricks, rocks and other objects at police.
About 75 to 100 school-age children were involved in the violence, police said, as they urged parents to bring their children home:
At a news conference Monday, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts referenced one mother who grabbed her son and smacked him on the head, although it is unclear whether this is the same mother caught on video.
"I wish I had more parents that took charge of their kids out there tonight," Batts said.
Baltimore City Public Schools are closed today in the wake of the violence.
A citywide curfew will be in effect from 10 p.m. today until 5 a.m. Wednesday. The 10 p.m. curfews will last for one week, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said, and could be extended as necessary.
A 9 p.m. curfew is already in effect for children 14 and younger.

Just some love taps, more embarrassing for him than injuring him, that's for sure. Nonetheless, I think it's good, if that was my child, I'd do the same.
 
The parents of all these young people need to do what she's doing. Ultimately, when these kids go to court, they'll be ordered to pay restitution for the damage they've done. Guess who will have to pay?

Glinda, these riots have caused many many millions of dollars..One senior home just constructed is a 8 million dollar loss. That drug store and inventory many more millions. They won't have to worry about paying for this financially as it is well beyond any of their means. Insurance will cover much of it and the later rates will reflect that. The community had begged CVS to come to the neighborhood, it was the only place where many could get to for meds. Think they'll come back? I sure wouldn't.

Of course, you're right, Jim. Naive of me to think otherwise. Still, I can picture a judge levying punitive fines on these guys (in addition to jail time) that the parents would have to pay. It's just sickening.

Probably not the parents, unfortunately. When my car was stolen a few years ago by a teenager, he was ordered by the court to pay court costs but no damages to me, even though I lost several hundred of dollars worth of stuff that was in the car (which my auto insurance didn't pay for). Nor was his mother ordered to pay anything to me as she declared herself as "indigent". When the Victim's Advocate called to tell me I was getting nothing, she said "In other words, you got screwed twice."

Of course, I probably wouldn't have received a cent even IF he had been ordered to pay me restitution but it would have been nice to have it on the books, for principle's sake.

Very few of these people are ever going to have any money to pay restitution for their deeds. A large number of these people will be sucking on the public tit for the rest of their lives......welfare or prison......
 
And most of them won't do any jail time either -- our prisons are so overcrowded. No restitution, no jail time, no personal responsibility. That's a lot of the problem, no one's held responsible for their actions anymore. "I had a bad childhood and was bored so I went out and burned down a CVS after I looted it . . ." It is all the fault of the police, after all. PUH-LEEZE!

A song I heard on the radio this morning:

"If you're unhappy and you know it,
loot your town.
If you really want to show it,
burn it down.
When the riot's under control,
you'll be living in a s**thole.
If you're unhappy and you know it,
trash your town."

I believe in teaching children self discipline, respect, and accountability, I just don't think hitting them is the way to do it. I have never forgiven my mother for raising her hand to me.

Did you watch the video? She was hardly hurting him.. His pride was more damaged than he was... which I really believed he deserved.
 
Why am I not surprised that there was a riot after the killing, if there hadn't been one I would have been very very surprised. It seems like the only card left to play and maybe this time it will wake up the government to put the blame where it belongs, on the police officers who are killing people indiscriminately and maybe something can be done about it. It happens here too. The police have become like Nazi SS troops who seem to enjoy brutality. They aren't called pigs for nothing and I believe in the UK they are affectionately called 'the filth'. They aren't all bad and nasty, but too many of them are. What is wrong with these cops that kill?

I absolutely agree... It's come down to victim blaming.. I don't think anyone condones the rioting or the looting.. but I can understand it. It seems like this keeps happening over and over and over and peaceful protest is not facilitating change..

I'll piss friends all off with my opinion, but here goes. I don't believe that Momma was wrong in her actions. She loves her son enough to try and let him know in language he understands he is wrong and must stop. If more Moms took that kind of action there would be less black felons in our prisons. Now, the police. Sure, there are some bad cops but 99% are good guys just doing a thankless job. If you don't like cops, next time you need one...call a rioter instead! BTW Pigs have four legs, not two.

A tad glib and over simplistic wouldn't you say?

Maybe so, but I don't think most cops carry guns and tasers in the UK do they?

Not at all QS. But suggesting that the cops are always at fault is simply ridiculous. Sorry, but we are on opposite corners on this one.

That would be fine.... IF that was what I said... I don't believe I've ever insinuated that the Cops were ALWAYS at fault.. BUT blaming the victims is ALWAYS wrong.
