I don't think what she did was okay. I get that he's not doing the smartest thing in the world, and he does deserve to be punished, but does anyone realize that SHES ABUSING HER CHILD. Why is that okay in this case? She's doing it now, she's probably done it before, but no one cares because he was disrespecting police. Where did he learn this violence in the first place? HIS MAMA.
Physically hitting a child is considered abuse. This could also turn into emotional abuse because it's being shown across the entire world and she's going to say "I told you so" and that can be scarring for anyone. Even though he was acting dumb to begin with, there are other ways that his mother could've handled the situation and people shouldn't be applauding her for hurting her son.
