VIDEO: Man Intervenes During Serious Beating of Young Boy

That’s abusive… She need some time for that

I don’t care what it was that young boy did, he doesn’t deserve that level beating. That mother needs to get help in dealing with her rage.

It could easily be abuse, but it looks more like frustration to me. I pray all has been resolved and is well! Blessings!

OMG. What can that small child do to deserve such a beating. No man that’s really child abuse.👮‍♂️👮‍♀️

This is not discipline….this is clearly abuse. If this is what is meted out to this child in public, I can only imagine what he endures at home out of the public’s eye. Yes it is stressful being a parent, but you have to exercise patience and self control. She clearly lacks the latter.

I trust that the police and various agencies will do the appropriate investigations and handle her accordingly.

That woman is not disciplining that child. Discipline is the ability to do what needs to get done despite what you want to do. That woman is not instilling, teaching, instructing or engraving disciplinary measures to that child. That woman is beating her own frustrations and disappointments with her self,.her choices and her regrets into that child.

She for get lock up, yes a your child but that is abuse

Honestly if you know you don’t want any children don’t know how to correct a child or have the patience to deal with a child can you explain to me why you opened your legs for another one? I wish you could beat yourself repeatedly in the same fashion……

That’s norm for some.parents…they need to have Angerr management classes here, before having children chose baby daddies wisely…

They talk about men but it’s not all women should be mothers……

She looks beyond stressed!!! Heavily pregnant and a young child bothering your head!!! Where are her family members?

That’s a normal ass whipping compare to how we just get ours back in the day. Honestly speaking no body knows what the child did and in addition to that look at our youths for today how out of control they are so from my point of view it’s not abuse

Lock she up that them suppose to do….then the next child born a jail..them young women in Antigua a make children an cant deal with dem cause the daddy dem cant find

Frustration, regrets anger, baby daddy problems everything there. Whether he stole something, he didn’t deserve such, some of us did the same and felt sorry after but if she sat down with him quietly and asked, do you think what you did was right he would have surely said NO, then you explain what are the consequences of such and don’t let it happen again.

But mama need some assistance mentally, socially and spiritually

That woman is suffering from depression an she is clearly taking it out on the lil boy for whatever reason she think she has n her hormones are raging …. That baby go look like the lil boy she beating

How ever it’s abuse….. Speaking from experience….she needs someone to sit her down n talk. ….. Negatively speaking on her is only going to make it worse…. Takes a village to raise a child ….. Som ppl don’t always say nor show wa they going through

Boy they say don’t be quick to judge. But… could a been handled better mummy. From a young mother with 3 boys, oldest being 7. That’s not the way to do it mama.

That woman needs a taste of her own medicine. Beat her ass and see how it feels! Wicked woman! I hope social services takes the child away from that evil mother!!

I have three kids and that’s not the way to beat your child she passing the stress on the child he is a baby dam am hurt

This is abuse to the highest, this child suffers more in private at home, he should be taken from her, before she kills him. He is sooo tiny, full advantage she taking on him… take him and the baby away from her, let her get some angry management therapy. She does not deserve to have that child. Wicked woman

Should a be fummi pickni mi would a just bang up she head good my baby mama knows different

I would say it was an abusive beating and it wasn’t right,what if you had hit the child somewhere prompting a medical injury or something? Yes your upset for whatever he did but she went too far and the fact that someone tried to pull you away and depart the child from you and you were still going at the child says alot.

When aru hab aru stress tap pass up pan de innocent pickney dem. Thats child abuse stupppppss me bex na smh

That is abuse! I cried watching this. Thank goodness the someone stepped in. I’m sure she’s gonna continue at home. Seems like this isn’t new to her. This is just so painful to watch.

That beating was excesive and should be considered abuse. However, I cannot pass judgement on the mother, since I do not know her. I realized it appears that she is pregnant and though it is not an excuse, it quit possible that in her condition harmones, stress levels, anxieties are possibly all out of wack and caused her to react in such a way that she usually does not. If there is a trend of her to treat her children in that way then I would not place her current condition as the cause. Either way she needs some assistance on how to handle her frustrations/anger so that it does not take her over to the point she harms her child/children and herself.

That is too much for one kid .It doesn’t matter what the kid do. You don’t beat the child like that especially in public when people are watching, if the mother is frustrated having problems Or whatever the situation is, you don’t throw it on your kid because at the same time he’s a kid what can he do to deserve those kind of beaten in public.

I didn’t like how she beat him but i wont judge her for this her son has been misbehaving awhile now ..bet he wont thief nothing again …he rude as well I know the lil boy . She is pregnant so hormones all over . Nobody helping her but everybody a judge ..if he thief someone money y’all gonna say she is a bad mother then he left the house without permission suppose a car had hit him down ? Y’all would say she a bad mother . This child need counseling but thats alot of money

I know it is easy to look at the video clip and come to a quick judgment of abuse. And it most likely is.
Only question I would ask, is if he would be treated more humanely in jail.

parents giving their child a non life threatening beating as discipline OR A POLICE OFFICER SHOOTING YOUR CHILD TO DEATH?

@speaking for the youth YA CHATTING BULLSHIT!!! ITS YALL CHILDHOOD TRAUMAS WHY SOME OF YALL THINK ITS OK TO BE BEAT TO AH FUKN PULP BY AN ADULT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO LOVE PROTECT CARE AND DISCIPLINE. THIS IS NOT DISCIPLINE. SOME AH DEM WUTLISS MAN GET MORE CARE ANS AFFECTION THAN THEIR OWN OFFSPRING. YOU KNOW IF YOU LISTEN TO SOME OF THOSE SAME YOUTH YOU SAY OUTTA CONTROL THIS IS MOST OF WHAT THEY HAVE ENDURED WHY THEY FIND THE BAD COMPANY WITH THE FAKE LOVE?? I WORK WITB AH YOUNG MAN WHO RECOUNTS ALMOST DAILY HOW HIS MOTHER AT AGE 8 CHOP HIM WITH A CUTLASS ACROSS THE SHOULDER, BEAT HIM WITH THE WIRE OUR GRANDPARENTS USED TO HANG CURTAINS, TIE HIM TO A TREE AND BEAT HIM WHEN HE RAN AWAY FROM THE ABUSE BECUS SHE CLAIM HE FEEL HE BIG AND NOBODY MUST TALK TO HE, SHOWED ME 2 SCARS IN HIS HEAD BCUS SHE HIT HIM WITH ENAMEL CUP AND PLATE.

BEATING IS HARMFUL DONT CARE WHAT NONE AH U SAY. THERE ARE MORE WAYS TO DISCIPLINE AND ITS A THIN LINE BETWEEN THAT AND ABUSE

AND THE CHILDREN HANDS BY THE POLICE CHAINS.
All things morally valuable to black people are being eroded and/or completely destroyed. You see, our arguments now totally omit “Culture.”

put CIVILIZE on the back burner… later for that!
LOL

It like she want to kill him.

If she doesn’t seek God on how to love that blessing in the form of a child He gave her, and ask for that child’s forgiveness, he will grow up to hate and despise her.

Wow. I feel it for both the mother and the child. There was so much anger in her movements and words, possible trauma is present. And look at it being passed on to the child who didn’t even ask to be born. Who knows what even happens inside that house of theirs…

Father God, help them. Bring healing, love, and peace to their lives. In Jesus name 🙏

Mother

This woman is taking out her frustrations – either man or money- on this child. It pains my heart to see such cruelty. How will this little boy sleep tonight? And to think she is pregnant is unbearable. Thanks to the men who saved this child because it appears she intended to end his life. Shame shame on you woman!!!!!

She should get a visit from the Ministry of Social Transformation and the Police Welfare Department.That is not discipline of a child.That is child abuse.She looks as if she is pregnant.

If she is beating this poor child like this in the open, what the devil is she doing to him behind closed doors?

Someone must know who she is?

The relevant authorities must take immediate action for the safety and well-being of this little boy – before she does something much worse!

@Who has the moral authority

Do not create the false dichotomy that it’s either beating your child terribly or they’ll be left to the police. Abusive beating is does not have to be non- life threatening to be problematic. I long for the day black people learn to think beyond the confines of our “culture.” A culture that was borne out of the worst conditions.

Some of these parents need to go to jail. She’s a wicked bitch and me nuh sorry for say um.

Shannon, for a child that small to be misbehaving for a while you have to ask what type of guidance and supervision he gets, what type of behaviours he sees and hears in his environment, does he have some physical or mental condition causing the so called misbehaving. Did you hear the bad word the woman give the child? That’s the example of behaviour he lives, hears and sees.

You are right he needs counselling but you can’t “fix” a child alone with counselling. He lives in a family so his mother needs counselling too to learn how to discipline, not punish him, and how to manage her anger and frustration.

Shannon, counselling for a child is not expensive. The government schools have counsellors and Family & Social Services have counsellors none of whom you have to pay. Counselling is available if it’s really wanted.

Big up to the men who parted her from the child. If they didn’t do that she may have injured him more.

Respect to the two men who intervened.we need more of this. Not just standing by and watching when you see innocent children being taken advantage of in any way, no matter by whom.

Yes this is abuse and i am definitely judging this woman. You clearly dont know how to parent so why the hell you went and got pregnant with another child?
And i am sure the childs father is nowhere to be found as is the case in most of these single mom households on island.

That poor child.there are endless more like him being abused daily by the people who should be caring for and protecting them. There are ways to discipline and correct children without abuse and violence. God help that child and all others.

My two cents iece: Give him to me! Life would be better! I have raised so many that were not biologically mine! They turned out just fine!

That is abuse. Thank God ,them stop her. Someone report her. She’s to angry. And the little boy was crying for his father.. maybe they not together and she takes it out on the child. But whatever she’s going through, it’s clear that she needs help mentally. Who beats a young child like that?

As for black CULTURE, I see you are Westernized and your statement rhetorically civilized.
Will refrain from calling you Judas…

If y’all knew what he did I don’t think you’d have anything at all to say. Some of y’all don’t even have children n y’all chatting bout “if this” n “if that” Trupz…. Half of you beat ur kids worst a just cause aru nah get ketch. Raise y’all child n leave people to raise theirs. SMH

It’s difficult to judge because of many factors. The legacy from slavery and other human societies in the distant past made severe corporal punishment socially acceptable in parenting. So, some parents might not be intentionally abusive when they discipline that way. Different people react differently to corporal punishment. Some feel like it is the worst thing ever and their parents don’t love them. Others feel like it’s just a punishment no big deal. So, really it might depend on how the child feels about it… if the child feels like it’s just punishment or if the child feels like it is the worst thing ever. Some people say that if you punish in someone’s main love language then to that person it feels severe. So, people whose main language is touch will feel corporal punishment is severe. My parents used minor corporal punishment a couple of times nothing as wild as the woman in the video though. Just like 5 light taps etc. To me it just felt like a little punishment for things I already had been told not to do. I understood the intention and I didn’t do them again. But, when I got older they only gave me a “talking to” which felt far worse to me than a spanking since I guess I like words of affirmation not condemnation. So, perhaps instead of arguing for or against corporal punishment, consider the child in question and see how that particular child handles different forms of punishment. The child in this video was trying to run so it was definitely excessive although perhaps she was not intentionally abusive since she probably was just following her cultural norms and hasn’t considered other options.

We all were children once and probably got some horrible beatings, some necessary and some just over-the-top. This video is abuse. Someone commented “not life threatening”. How would you know? What she is using doesn’t look like a belt, but a solid object. An object she used and hit that child in his head, his back, legs, etc. Im sure it ain’t the 1st time. Who will ever know the extent of his wounds?
I had a friend who I guess did something her mother didn’t like (nothing disrespectful) and in one of the mothers drunken state, she hit her daughter in the head with a can of bop. She got a headache. Days later she spoke to her brothers gf who luckily was a doctor and worked at a medical center and did a scan of her head. Results: slight bleeding on the brain and small loose fragments.
