She really treated him like some nikka on the street that she had beef with.
Lock her ass up
Yeah, that's the main difference that takes this out of the "back in my day we got whoopins" category.
She was squaring up, eye to eye with peak unrestrained emotion on attack mode with the same energy she'd have if she was about to get into a fight or bust out someone's windows or some shyt. I'm not even anti whoopin, but if you're not grounded in your energy and treating the shyt as a natural consequence you're just letting out your anger and frustration.
Her whole energy was treating him like some worthless fukk nikka that she would spit on, not giving him 5 to 10 clean licks that he brought on himself and had to learn from.
But a lot of shytty parents get on it like this to overcompensate and show out when they're not talking to them, reading to them and doing the day by day shyt that helps your kid learn lessons and not be a problem when they get to school.
If you gotta get 9-1-1 emergency levels of angry in public then you already fukked up by not properly correcting him 10 lessons ago.
