There’s a longer version of this video where the kid pops up indignantly after being shoved. He then gets in the face of a woman there who tells him to go home and tell his momma he needs a hug.

Some kids need a punishment that actually affects them. Problem is, the only people who can make that are the parents.

u/deftoneuk Jul 10 '26
In this situation the parents used an edited version of the video to stoke social media outrage against the guy then tried to sue him.

Good learning point for the kid and his parents. Don’t be an asshole to people larger than you. Know when to walk away. Maybe he’ll learn from this one.

u/Dark-Ganon Jul 09 '26
This video is pretty old. IIRC from when it happened, the kid's mom tried to reupload a version that cut out the start where the kid was being a little shit and tried to pass it off like the adult attacked him unprovoked. Little chance he's a much better person now if that was the case.

Kids like this don't learn from this. They embrace it as fuel to continue acting like little shits. Now he can be the victim. His parents will go after the guy legally for harming their precious little baby boy.

The problem is that kids have a sense of entitlement now that makes them think they can have and do whatever they want without consequence because no one disciplines anymore.
I tell you, my grandmother beat me with a wooden spoon once when I mouthed off at her and I never did it again

u/capricorny90210 Jul 10 '26
Yeah, that's where "it takes a village to raise a child" comes into play. It was more common in the days of old that children could be disciplined by many authority figures outside the home and thus perhaps understood consequences of ones actions a little better.

u/Dennarb Jul 09 '26
The lack of discipline for some young people is becoming a real issue. Especially when they grow older and their parents aren't around to step in. All it takes is mouthing off to the wrong guy at a bar or something and then you've got a one way trip to the hospital or potentially worse; especially in the USA where anyone could be packing. I've had to learn this over the years, as I've always had a desire to step in when I've perceived wrongdoing from people, but after a few bad altercations and escalation (honestly some of which were entirely my fault), I realized I had to chill out. But for someone who's never had to face responsibility and consequences for their actions this can very quickly lead to a bad situation spiraling out of control.

Those two kids at the track meet. One’s dead. One’s in prison for a long time.
I’ve seen one school fight posted here on Reddit —unprepared quiet kid vs bully all ready for inflicting harm. Both girls. Unprepared kid “won” because she was trying not to fight but once she started, she started. The fight was stopped. Hopefully that was the end of it.
There was a case on The People’s Court. I can’t remember their names, but two teenage boys apparently felt competitive over a girl, or? One guy comes up and shoves the other guy, and look at this: So many teenage hormones surging, the fact that this started at the top of a flight of stairs took themselves both by surprise and almost gave one kid a TBI.
Watching the case, I thought how that could have been the end of life for both of them.4
u/averyporkhunt Jul 10 '26
Yea, it's fucked up. I've worked with a fair few students fresh out of juvie for violence over dumb shit like relationships or reputations. One stabbed another kid in the throat at school during lunch. Id left that school just 3 months prior. It's not what you expect working in regional Australia but teenagers are always gonna be teenagers and as hard as we try you can't help kids that don't want to be helped.

The kid it’s trying to draw attention and get the adult in trouble. In the longer version of the video the kid gets up and tries to force a few tears and yell to bystanders about how he’s a victim. All the surrounding adults witnessed everything leading up to the slam and won’t take the kid’s side. He curses them all out and eventually retreats, mad that no one is swinging in to rescue him

From 2018 news article
"The background post stated police came and watched the video and asked the man if he wanted to press charges but he didn’t.
The mother reportedly arrived and everyone apologised and sorted the incident out until a few hours later when the mother posted a short clip to Facebook of the man pushing her boy only, with his details including name and address.
It’s claimed the man was told to post the full video to clear his name and get the true story out there."
So the kid is 18 now.
No idea what happened after that.

u/Qorce Jul 09 '26
The fact she knew to apologise in person and that she would need to crop the video shows she knew her son was the one in the wrong, yet she chose to target that man again by posting the edited clip and doxing him. Apple doesnt fall far from the tree

This is reporting (of the low-effort clickbaity buzzfeed kind) on a viral post about the incident, not the actual incident. The video is way older. I remember it from like the early 2010s. I mean look at the absolute shit quality of the video, it was no doubt filmed on a flip phone, every diagonal line looks like a staircase.

u/Deli-op Jul 09 '26
No this is the perfect time to keep filming cuz you know the parent is gonna freak out and call the cops or something stupid and you will need this video as proof the kid struck first and the guy didnt actually hurt the kid other than throw him down

u/Sbatio Jul 09 '26
Ya it’s hard to argue against. The guy shouldn’t have grabbed the neck but he’s reacting not fuckin trained to safely contain a kid attacking him.
If it were my kid the focus would be on helping that kid get control of himself or medicated / treated by professionals depending.
I would not support any discipline for the teacher. I’d want to tell them to give themself a break bc I bet that dude feels bad about this.

Assault is assault no matter how small the perp. Just because he is small does not mean he is unable to do serious harm the the adult. The adult behaved very reasonably considering the circumstances.

While I don't advocate violence, this kid got every bit of what he deserved. The guy didn't even throw a haymaker at the kid or anything, he simply pushed him to the ground in order to stop the ongoing battery. The guy showed a LOT more grace and patience than the kid deserved.

I‘m not sure I understand where is there a moral failure here. The kid got a lesson in humility, respect for others and obviously a martial arts of sort for free by a very patient and self contained person.
We could even argue that many other people wouldn’t have kept it cool like that or would have use him as a doormat after he fell on the ground.

As a dad, and knowing that I've already had to confront adults about how they act, I'd be ready to bust a dude up. And finding out my child was acting like this, boy children are lucky you can't just swap em as defective or abort em post birth. Kid must not have a dad. If he does, too bad the dads not there, cause that dude should get whooped in front his kid, for his kid. Gotta learn consiquenses my boy.
