VIRAL: Mother tells 6-year-old boy to punch woman in the face in shop brawl. Bystanders do nothing.

 

This video will make you feel like you’re winning at parenting today.

Two women began brawling in the shampoo aisle of a Walmart store last week. As you do.

But one woman had a helping hand from her six-year-old son, who became involved in the tussle after being egged on by his mum.

At one point, the boy armed himself with a shampoo bottle before hitting the woman being straddled by his mother on the head with it.

He also appears to kick and stomp on the head of the woman (who was earlier riding a motorised scooter), telling her: “I don’t care about you, dummy… I’m gonna call my dad and you’re gonna get beat.”

The boy seemed bemused by the altercation, saying, “Oh now, this is damn funny.”

Between the slapping, swearing and biting, an onlooker warned the boy he would go to “little boy jail”.

The amped-up kid told the shopper: “I’m not playing, you can’t tell me to stop. Do not even tell me what to do.”

Several shoppers at the Indiana Walmart store recorded the four-minute brawl on their phones last week (and uploaded the footage to YouTube, where it has had millions of views).

But not one stepped in to stop the violent scuffle.

Instead, they gave a running commentary of the fracas and debated the boy’s involvement.

One bystander can be heard saying, “He’s just trying to have her mummy’s back, I understand”.

After the fight fizzles out with no intervention from shoppers or security, the women – now covered in shampoo – finished their shopping.

Nothing to see here.

The boy’s mother told radio station WZPL the altercation started over an allegedly racist comment directed at a staff member by the other woman.

“So in my defence, I was standing up for the employee,” she said.

She said her son takes martial arts classes and had been going to the gym for several years with his father.

“He got a little crazy. I don’t have to worry about him ever being bullied,” she said.

“My son is raised perfectly right.”

Let’s hope no one steals that kid’s play lunch.
