Parents have a lot of responsibility. They constantly have to make choices regarding their children, like what they should eat and when it’s time for bed. Unfortunately, these decisions often lead to parental stress. After a mom was harassed by a teenager on the subway, she decided to take action and teach the teen respect.
As the video begins, we see a mother and her teenage child engaged in a heated argument while other riders look on uncomfortably. The teenage boy gets uncomfortably close to the mother, entering her personal space. The mom refuses to be intimidated by his body language and stands up for herself. Things quickly turn physical, however, and the mother is forced to take action. The teen forcefully pushes the woman, but she is already prepared to handle that type of situation. The mom immediately takes out a can of pepper spray and sprays it directly into the teen’s face.
The boy quickly stopped threatening the woman and started yelling and grabbing at his eyes instead. The other passengers simply watch the fight unfold in front of them during their otherwise routine subway ride.
The video was posted to Facebook, where it got a lot of attention very quickly. In just a few days, the video had tens of thousands of likes and shares from people all over the world.
