No mother ever wants to hear that her child is being bullied at school. We all want to believe our kids are safe, even while they’re not in our care, and learning otherwise can be absolutely devastating.
While most moms would proceed with some sort of school meeting or perhaps even a one-on-one with the bully’s parents, some decide to go a different route. They ditch rationality and let their protective instincts (not to mention their tempers) get the best of them, leading to a rather nasty and shocking confrontation.

This is a story about one of those mothers.
A now-viral video captured the moment a furious London mom decided to personally confront her son’s alleged bully.
Shared online by the Twitter page London Streets , the video shows the anonymous mama absolutely losing it on a male student who films her entire tirade.
Honestly, it’s just one of those videos that you have to see to believe.
In the beginning, the mom aggressively approaches the boy filming her while “daring” him to touch her son again.
The alleged bully can be heard saying, “You can’t touch me, you aren’t allowed to touch me,” prompting the mom to stalk away.
But just when you think the vicious encounter is over with… it’s not, not even close.
The camera suddenly turns back to the mom who has simply given herself enough room to flip her long, dark hair over so she can tie it up out of her face — the telltale sign of any woman readying herself for a fight.
Sufficiently free of the restraint of her hair, the mom stalks back to the bully for more berating, this time standing just inches from his face.
“I ain’t from around here, you know who I am?” she asks, grinning wickedly. “I’m [child’s] mom, yeah.”
As she’s told to back up, she furiously yells, “No, I ain’t gonna stop getting close!”
Still shockingly close to the youth and his camera, the woman continues, now resorting to threats to end the alleged bullying.
“Touch my son again and I’ll rip your f ing face off,” she warns. “I’ll rip your mum’s face off, your dad’s face off… touch him, I dare you too. I f ing dare you too.”
As the boy responds, “I won’t,” she adds, “Know yourself. Know yourself.”
Before leaving, the mom says, “I’m warning you, I’m warning you. One more f***ing time.”
“Alright,” the boy replies. “Stop getting close to me.”

After being posted just two days ago, the video already has over 30,000 views on Twitter.
In the comments, some people condemned the mom’s aggressive approach to putting a stop to her son’s bullying.
“Probably better to find out where the kid lives and go back and have an adult discussion about what’s been happening,” one person suggested.
“Can understand her anger but seriously? Wrong approach,” another wrote. “Completely inappropriate.”
Others, however, were in support of this furious mom and even applauded her for taking action.
“Good on her,” this person commented. “Schools and teachers are. weak. We have a bullying problem, in its many forms, as they are not on it. The parents of [bullies] need to be hold account. Parents instincts are to protect their kids no matter by whom.”
Another complained, “Probably complained to the school several times and nothing done, can’t blame her at all. Bet the kid doesn’t even look in his direction since this.”
