“A woman seen hitting and berating a black-clad teenager, later confirmed to be her son, has been hailed as “mom of the year” after her intervention on the streets of Baltimore was caught on video. As violence flared up across the city on Monday, the woman, who was identified as Toya Graham on Tuesday afternoon, was filmed telling her child to “take that f—— mask off.”
“Graham spoke to CBS News about the video, which initially went viral with little context. In the interview, the single mother of six tells the network that she intervened out of concern for her 16-year-old son’s safety. She said: “That’s my only son, and at the end of the day, I don’t want him to be a Freddie Gray. But to stand up there and vandalize police officers, that’s not justice.”

“By late Monday, videos of the incident were so widespread that Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts brought it up in an overnight news conference. Batts told reporters: “And if you saw in one scene, you had a mother who grabbed their child who had a hood on his head and she started smacking him on the head because she was so embarrassed. I wish I had more parents who took charge of their kids tonight. I think these were youth coming out of the high school and they thought it was cute to throw cinder blocks at the police department and address it that way.”
However, in an unexpected turn of events, Child Protective Services in Baltimore has launched an investigation on Toya Graham shortly after the video which showed her beating her son on the street became viral.
A CPS Baltimore spokesperson told Newslo: “After reviewing the video in question, it has come to our attention that Ms. Graham is a mother of six. Although her actions are somewhat understandable, we cannot allow a young man to suffer such violence and abuse, regardless of the cause. Therefore, CPS investigators will question Ms. Graham and her children, and will also conduct an investigation that will determine if Ms. Graham will be allowed to continue being her children’s legal guardian.”
Ms. Graham did not wish to speak to Newslo or comment on the matter.

Lebraun MF Sheppard
That mom saved that boys life,She is a good mother,she only did all that out of being scared for her sons life and hers….If CP’s take her kids where is the justice? Now they see why people are throwing CINDER blocks at them ☝✋♻

What a crock load of crap. CPS would rather allow this teen to end up in jail or dead or in some foster home where they will get money for him rather than see a parent take care of business!!! I think this mother does deserve the MOTHER OF THE YEAR AWARD!!!! He was out causing havoc and she wasn’t going to stand for it and if she had then she would have been called a bad mother and may have ended up being investigated for “letting him participate” in the violence he was participating in. BACK THE _______ OFF CPS AND THE REST OF YOU ____ THAT THINK SHE DID ANYTHING WORNG!! This is what is wrong with the land we are living in, we can’t discipline our children, not the fact that we are different races or allow immigrants to come to our land.
London Queen
They weak for that one at least she didn’t let him help destroy the city child protective services need to have several seats and worry about some of these real unfit parents
Lateef Robinson
Fuck this weak ass pussified system! !!!! That’s how most of us were raised
Latoya Webster
So I guess it was okay for him to keep doing this lose his life or get lock up this world is so sad she did right but its always somebody that won’t to pull the bad out of it if we had more parents like this these kids wouldn’t be out of control in the first dam place this world is just sad
Kourtney TwizitdSorty Green
Pure bullshit her child threw bricks at the police! How is she being questioned for takin control over the matter for her childs safety as well as the police! I say she’s a damn good mother! Put yourself in her shoes she’s sittin at home watching the chaos on the news and sees her only son throwing bricks at the very people trying to save the city how is that child abuse?! Ugh our government is seriously fucked up!!!
Vicky Smith
This is wrong!
Melanie Roberts
It is so sad how our system is so twisted. The Law Police gets a pass for beating and killing someone elses children in public but a parent gets punished for discipline their own.
Kiki Coppage
Its OK for the police to beat the shit out them in public but the women that birth him can’t shit I wish a mfer would they can embarrass him but not his mom Baltimore get it together there are tons of people that will back her up
Cedric Berry
ITS SO FUNNY CUZ IF EVERY MOTHER OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE HAD CAME OUT AND DID THE SAMETHING THEN WAT THEY GOING TO INVESTIGATE ALL THEY MOTHERS TO BUT THEY THUGS IS WAT THEY SAY THEY ARE BUT SHE WAS STOPPN HERS FROM BEING ONE
Mari Corporan
What she did was right
Mike Weber
I don’t believe this story for one second. More likely a “Newslo” (whatever the hell that is) attempt to gain some undeserved attention. “A CPS Baltimore spokesperson told Newslo…” Really? Who is the “spokesman”?
Kisha Alexander
A damn shame really
Sie-Sie Rhymes
They are stupid, they don’t want ppl to raise their kids so they can all end up dead or in jail.

Denise Brann
That’s some bs screw DSS in every state
Peachess Hall
If she has been parenting the way she should have been , she never would have had to go and get him in the first place. And to curse him out and slap him like that was a lil over the top. Why couldn’t she have just walked out there and said, “lets go”, without all the violence in front of the camera? If she is like that in font of thousands of viewers, I could only imagine what she’s like behind closed doors..So, I say Investigate!!!!..N Where is the father/ fathers?
Denise Demien Miller
COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!!!! This mother did nothing wrong.

Always trying to find a way to keep ya down smh

Sherry Symons Mitchell
this is bullshit he would of been arrested and they would of been on her about that it’s damned if you do and damned if you don’t any more i’m for the mom she needs to start a petition i would be the first to sign it
Marcus Payne
I support the mother. I do not support children joining cowardly, criminal gangs that cover their faces and maraud the streets destroying property.
Caparice Paige
The person who started this investigation is probably one of the ones who are saying she’s a bad parent and she should have supported her sons behavior people like this make me sick. But I have always said DCFS is the new bondage. They take children from good homes just to keep them in the system so that they can create these “jobs” (social worker, counselor, etc.) who then abuse these children (sexually, etc.) until they are of age and throw them on the street.
Rita Novak
This is PURE and TOTAL BS!!! A mother getting her child out of danger.. by any means possible.. Which would be better.. a mother “adjusting her son” or police?? Leaving it at that!!
Yakisha Howard
Pure BS….
Andecia Lexce Hutchinson
Thats why them children does turn out so cause as so as ya have to cut them ass to show lil discipline ya does hear child abuse… come to the caribbean.. see if ya could pull them stunts and hear something bout child abuse… the woman right … that is the rest business if them leave them children out there to get kill
Starr Desiree Granby
good! as they should…it was child abuse ..plain and simple…poor kid….
Darnell Anthony
I think it’s sad that people don’t pay attention and believe everything they see on the Internet as truth….did anybody stop to think that the source sounds a little suspicious …of course not and that’s how rumors get spread
Maurice Rodgers
This is a fake post . I’ve seen more black women comment on what the system condemns as a double standard. Dammed if she do DDamned if she don’t. Stop lying to create hype.
Christy Logue
R u serious…this is exactly what is wrong with the young people these days…I applaud this lady for what she done because she wants her child to know foolishness is not tolerated…I can only say that 16 year old got away easy because I would have really embarassed mine!! CPS acts like we cannot discipline our children sometimes they need a smack upside the head!
Celinda Patton
U have got to be kidding me. That was not child abuse. That was a mother trying to keep her son out of jail, or worse and trying to teach him right from wrong! This makes me sick! And they wonder where the parents of the other vandals are!
SouthbridgeMook Mable
CPS stay on some bullshit always aiming for the good parents
Martha Jarvis
Right here is the reason our youth are going wrong. Politicians say the parents are responsible for their kids’ behavior, but on the other end they won’t allow parents to use good old-fashioned discipline! No….they shouldn’t be permitted to “beat” their children, but a little “board of education” to the “seat of learning” can’t hurt now and then.
Christopher Httr Daniels
Are you kidding me!!! In the 70’s we got our asses beat. That’s why most of us are OK with respect and control. 80’s kids and up most of them have no respect or reason for what they do. GOOD JOB MAMA BEAT THAT ASS. CPS GO TO HELL FIND A REAL CASE OF NEGLECT.
Gwen Cook
Unbelievable! This mother did what she should have done. It is ridiculous that this mother is being questioned for pulling her son from a very bad situation. Cps needs to step down and let this mother handle her child. He can learn a lesson from being slapped up but how would he have learned a lesson if he was shot and killed…
Amanda Blackmon Zarovsky
And if she had just allowed her son to riot and look and cause problems, CPS would have stepped in to determine if she was fit or not. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
Nikki Roznowski
This is total satire. Fact check peeps. The CPS portion is made up.
Jazzery J Minner
And that’s why this world is a disaster!
Linda Reid-Kenny
Are you kidding me?? She stopped him from being in a violent situation where he could have been hurt or hurt someone that could end up with him in jail. If they investigate this lady, they are really crazy!!
Alisa Hamilton Ricketts
“we cannot allow a young man to suffer such violence and abuse, regardless of the cause.” Are you kidding me? He was CAUSING violence and abuse of people and property. All she did was to stop him!!
Ronyae Clark
Crazy!!!!!! Smh
Anna Marie
Shame on you CPS! She was parenting! She had open hand slaps.. there should absolutely be no investigation
Terri Hare Brown
Total BS, I would done the same thing if it was child! She wins Mom of the Year in my opinion for her actions. If more moms in the city were like her this crap would have stopped on Monday!
Garet Meeker
If the police were beating him at the protests no big deal to cps but his mom hit him for the right reasons to stop him from being beat by the police so cps is mad? 2wow.
Lorraine Jones
I’m telling you it’s this system why some child or children behaviour is like this. Good on you mother; you have my support.
Linda Spence
She was knocking some sense into him. rather his mom than someone else.
Debbie Parsons Hartman
This is what is wrong with this country. Look at the streets of Baltimore. The robbing, looting, burning, stealing etc. If more Mom’s did this this crap would stop.
Ty-ill Da Reason
Well all her daughters are grown so that’s irrelevant
Laura Blankenship McMillian
That is aweful. And if he had been killed in the mob seen that was going on then they probably would have arrested her for neglect. Please . She is being an awesome mom
Kaeren Nisbeth
Ahhh! It is only OK when the police shoot our sons 8 times in the back, crush their throats, and sever their spines. But as a black mother don’t you dare try to keep your sons from the grave or the prison through discipline.
Karen Burton
This is a load of crap. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. This mother did a commendable thing, SHE is protecting her son. It sadly seems that it’s ‘open season’ on black males so who knows what would have happened to her son at the hands of the police had they got to him first. #istandbytoya
Lisa Cox
CPS needs to worry about those who are abusing their children for no just cause. Once again CPS has it backwards.
Roy Dean
This is nuts.
Deborah Ann Shear
Click the “show facts” button folks and calm down. God forbid CPS actually did go after this woman who was only trying to protect her child from his own actions. They would be demonized because She is AMAZING!
Benjanetta Hampton
She’s a real mother she went and took her son out of that crap! What ifs t they would have targeted seen him shot by police because of the same behavior his mother stopped!?! The system is so very twisted! They bring this mother into an investigation but they meaning all these so called protective agencies keep giving these babies back to truly unfit parents that commit unspeakable acts upon these children.
Allison Lee Bowles
U suppirt this mom
Jeff Hickman
Can we fucking have a better use of taxpayers money than this STUPID investigation? I’d like to slap upside the head the person who ordered this. Right upside the head, ON CAMERA, just like this Mom did. Right upside their Damn head!
Venita Hardin
Had Baltimore cops would have killed this young man!! Would they call CPS!! Then
Willie Wilson Jr
our system has issues that needs to be corrected corrected
Melissa Huddleston
And like many other Moms I bet she’d had the chance she’d do it again. I know I would.
Delores McEva Tyler
If they take her children because of that one incident, her son will end up in the system, or even worse, which is what she was trying to avoid.
Steph De
Get the F putta here!! CPS or however you say it need to stand down! She did what any other Parent would do in that situation. I’m tired of this PC BS.
Wendy Whitehead
How about they go out and start picking up kids off the street out there with no parental supervision who are causing destruction. FUCK CPS
Chloe Theswagcat
They’re going to investigate this incredible woman who probably saved her childs life..Unbelievable..let’s see, they’ll probably put him in “protective care of child services” where everyone knows children DIE……..It would be funny if it weren’t so sad…………..Leave this mother alone
Rebecca Lynette Ross
Wow this is so messed up!! She didn’t beat her son she gave him a couple of smacks up side the head. If she would have done nothing and he got shot and killed everyone would have turned it around on her saying it was her fault she didn’t go get her son and make him go home! Leave this woman alone!
Victoria Solis
I double support the mother!!!! What happen if he get killed that day…
Denise Shoemaker
Are you serious about this shit! Maybe the review board need their asses beat! They gonna raise this kid and teach him morals? Really? Stupidity is running way to ramp-id in this world today! I commend this Mother for being a real parent. She shouldn’t be punished for trying to raise a human being instead of an animal.
Stacey McCann
Wow really??her son was causing trouble its not like she was just hitting him for no reason. Wow!!!!
Jimmy Mcclellan
damn stupid liberal ran programs
Rebecca Chesser
CPs would rather let him be a delinquent instead of his mother doing what all the mothers should have done!! I praise her for keeping her child from harm!! If he would have got hurt or shot she would be getting investigated for not caring properly for her son!! Leave her alone she is a great mother for what she did
Jeanette Starr
That’s what’s wrong, when disciplene your kids, you get in trouble. I’m behind this mom 100%.
Lisa Hua-Mitchell
We need more mothers like this…
Desiree Evans
The son should feel real good about himself! I hope she really put it on him in the car ride home and then again at home.
Frances Branch
That’s what’s wrong. these so called child protective agencies are carrying it to far. Yes there are children who need to be protected. There are parents who abuse. But taking away a parents God given right to chastise their child is a crime. If more people took the time and interest in what their children were doing, it would be a better world. she did not want her only son to become like the others at the hands of the police.
Shaunta Pelham Wilson
What a freaking JOKE! Do some real work and stop bothering with folks who are doing there damn job as parents. Next thing you know putting kids in time-out will be considered child endangerment. And people wonder why these kids behavior the way that do.
Dave Skolnick
Baltimore CPS is taking lessons from Montgomery County CPS.
Beth Conner
These people are out of their f#@%ing minds!!
Katherine Jodoin
She’s a real mother she went and took her son out of that crap! What if they would have targeted him them we would seen him hat shot by police because of the same behavior his mother stopped!?! The system is so very twisted! They bring this mother into an investigation but they meaning all these so called protective agencies keep giving these babies back to truly unfit parents that commit unspeakable acts upon these children I wish there was more moms like her out there .What the hell is wrong with people Lady my hat goes off to you . You cared
Melissa Mendez
this is what is wrong with thos country.. if parents were allowed to discipline their children, the police would have a lot less work to do….this child was involved in this root, throwing things at the police, and his mother did what she was supposed to do…she took control of him…better than to let him continue to be a menace to society
Randy Fitzpatrick
If some people would pay attention. This is a satire site. They have a “show facts” button…the only facts are that she did this. It’s highlighted in red. The rest is satire.
There is NO CPS investigation.
Taneesha Culture Clash Thomas
here we go with the bullshit…damned if you do damned if you don’t that’s why the world is so fucked up now smdh
Basil Malik
Is this a legitimate news story or not?
MsJacqui Patterson
This is obscured like u already investigating a mom who has that much respect for the law in u investigate her oh well the riots will begin I think as blacks THE CHOSEN PEOPLE ARW TREATED SO BADLY IN INHUMANE
Nikki Hamm
Complete and utter bullshit. There are scenarios where a child deserves an ass whooping that’s how I was raised. I personally don’t like to spank my son on the butt, but in scenarios like this, a child needs an ass whooping to learn to respect people and not be a little hoodlem running around. This mom did what any mother would have. I support her 10000000%
Beverly A Cummins
Bull . Any good Mother would have freaked out and did what she did. They better toss this one out real fast .
Chanel Ortega
CPS would rather see a young black man dead on the streets than a mother trying to protect her child from being killed from a police … Soo pathetic CPS
Krista Huckelberry
And the world wonders why our society is the way it is- you can’t spank your kids- and everyone knows teenagers won’t listen to anything- why is it that Cps will put your children into a foster home that is worse than being disciplined in their own home? And call that protection? Do some research into children in foster homes and see how much Cps has really helped the kids- most aren’t helped- they are far more worse then if they were at home getting the discipline in which is needed-
Charlie Benzo Brown
I wish more people would control their kids like that . They are out of control. Keeping them from being in the streets is hard. But getting them killed by the “Law” seems to be a real easy thing to do. Bust him in his damn head and tell him to take his black ass home should be the normal thing to do. He will have a busted nose but he will be alive to talk about it. That’s what’s wrong with this country, we are backwards in so many ways. The bible says spare the rod spoils the child.
Sarah Decker
Caps mind your owns business the mom was right
Mang Phan-Ba Nguyen
Teaching your child not to cause problem to America (this case may be slightly on the border but understandable due to extreme situation) – big problem according to Baltimore CPS. Letting your child causing problem and committing crimes on public streets – every citizens’ problems. So where is the fine line? Are you allow to correct your kids in situations that they will regret if they have gone through with their action?
Rose Marie Spruengli
CPS they have nothing better to do, I know from experience my ex husband used them and the cops to harass me and our kids.
Lisa Rawlings
This is crap she did right and if this would have never happened with them cps wouldn’t be involved that young man knew he was wrong that’s why he took his but to the car like his mom said come on Baltimore Cps go mess with the real child abuser’s
Summer Jones
Wow lost for words this country Is so fucked up
Daphne Keating
What the heck is a Newslo. NEWSLIE
Melissa Hendershot Conger
PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE!!! You know parents from as far back as we can remember got it all wrong!! Because we all know that if you just put your child in “TIME OUT” like ALL child protective services, shrinks and child book authors say, all children will grow up to be respectable adults…..BAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I got my butt smacked as a child, I am a decent human being. I have issues I believe in and things I absolutely think is wrong. BUT I’m not going to riot, attack police, or burn down the city I live in!!!! I think those people in Baltimore need anger management classes!!!!
Kilo Byrd
Fuck this post and if it’s true than fuck the dumbass who needed attention so they want to “investigate” a mother trying to beat some sense into her child.
Renne Edwards
BWAHAHAAAA!!!!!
Gary Simpson
What a load of fucking bolloxs perhaps the agency could be looking at the parents who let their children riot on the streets!!!!
Julie Etta Lloyd
If he was shot and killed the story would have been different. Leave her alone. At least she was out there where were the other parents. Why aren’t they being investigated.
Anthony K. Allen
What a crap website. Main-Stream-Media is dis-info enough
Donna Potts
That’s some bullshit
Wanda Crawford
Child protective service need to have several back seats. I had a 5 year old niece they took them gave back to her mother who was physically abusing her daughter. Now she’s dead really your investigating mother that raising 6 kids and smack he son around for doing wrong… Bye Felicia the have nothing else to be famous for….
Pat Murray
Are you s——g me!!!
Ty-Te Bestmom
What the hell, are u serious. I see where u guys av ntn to do. If she was to go an identify her son in the morgue, u all do. Don’t u see that this mother is taking a stand in raising her kids properly. There should be a law against government workers who are wasting tax payers money to file cases and investigate irrelevant cases. I’m darn pissed

Wonderful Watson
The law is the law. Child Protective Services are there for the sole purpose of protecting children. As the article stated…”Although her actions are somewhat understandable, we cannot allow a young man to suffer such violence and abuse, regardless of the cause.” Translation…Just because she’s mama and she was embarrassed, there was no justification for her assaulting her son in public. Child Protective Services has a DUTY to investigate this matter…..
Jhiggz Kharique Merritt

This is a crock of shit!
Leigh Miller-Cox
I would back this mother to the end,,,,,,
Broadway Aaron
“To not end up Luke Freddie gray.”? Freddie gray did nothing wrong, he was innocent, he posed no threat to the officer, he was beaten, and broken, and eventually killed. So her argument is invalid. This women did one thing, take another black kid off the streets from protesting against the police.
Razzle Marie Thompson-Greer
Completely a load of crap. She did the right thing. She got HER son off the streets and home where he belonged. She doesn’t want him to be the type of person who thinks it is ok to do something like this and get off Scott free. I would of done the same thing if it were me.
Zellola Field
Get the Hell out of here.Here go with the Government sticking their in shitNo not special but BLESS!!! It’s what yousay.Before you ask so what I am talking about.You come to the conclusion that I am mad because someone talking about me.I can care less about what other think of me get your fact right before start saying shit.I would have ask you was everything alright bef
Nancy Alleshouse
This is only going to prevent parents from doing what this women did in the correction of her son!
Sierra Tide
To Child Protective Services FUCK YOU LOSERS! Your nothing but a bunch of children thieves! This mom was right in what she did and more moms and dads should have been out there grabbing their child (or children) and yanking their ass home.
Jennifer Farrar
CPS is stupid.
Pat Carlson
CPS needs to BUTT OUT of this one! Hope someone steps forward in her defense. Go after the REAL abusers! This time out and TALKING have put kids in control instead of parents. He was in danger and put others in danger, she let him know UNACCEPTABLE!
Gwen LaVerne Henderson
Prayers for the system and those that manage it in our cities. It is indeed a slow day and a bit after the fact. I pray that the people of that community will support that ‘Mom’
Jennifer Lane
Seriously -more parents should reprimand their children for doing stupid things. Nothing she did would cause perm damage but enforce the fact that he should think through long term decisions before jumping on board. When patents reprimanded their kids…., well this type of thing wasn’t a weekly occuarance when I was growing up.
Terry Mateka
This F’n country… CPS causes and creates more F’n drama and hurt than they ever do good. Whom ever made the call to investigate a mother beating her sons ass for being stupid & possibly get shot & killed by law enforcement needs to be brought out in public for a public ass whoop’n for lack of common sens, ignorance & stupidity… To the mother… Great job & keep it up – we need more people like you
Rocky RoRo Sanders
Now I know there is really someone out in Baltimore who is besting their child and that woman is not it! She is an easy target and CPS does that!
Mary Holmes
I understand CPS have a job to do but they’re wearing about the wrong thing. It’s
Renee Lovingme Whitaker
She did the right thing. Cps are u serious violent abuse no it’s called discipline. Get really.
Donya Papoose Williams
@basil Malik the difference in what he did and what you are comparing to is the act was done to them as they were non violent he was being violent and performing the act. That is not protesting but being stupid and if any of my son’s did something like that then I would do the same as she. An ex slave who was once owned by Preston Brooks said, “No race can rise higher than its women. De future of de Negro race, depends on its mothers.” Cornelius Holmes bade this comment in the early 19 30s and it still stands true today. We must protect and teach our children.
Jenn Caley
This was certainly not an unexpected turn of events. Americans are not allowed to parent anymore
Karen Peterson
child protect services, need they A** kicked, any fool can see this woman was protecting her child from danger, they might not like the way she did it but it was right, ok what would child protective services do had the police killed him then….child protective service aint nothing all these kids they let go in a home and getting killed and raped everyday…where were they when they allowed this baby to go back home to this crazy mother who they knew had a mental problem…..everyone gets hit by their mother and had a switch and a belt on they butt, probably the one that’s having her investigated, some ole bitter person that hate they mom because she use to beat their butt
Angela Saddler-seapno
CPS needs to mind their own damn business and let a parent do their job!! He wasn’t bleeding or broken, he just got a good old fashioned smack down. No harm in that. Go after the real child abuse cases. Really!!!
Mamaw Lyon
This s better not be true! Are you kidding???she needs a medal!!!! More parents need to byst their kids butt when their little but a kid that big news eds it’s head busted! That’s why kids today have no respect for anyone including themselves!!!! Got my ass handed to me I’ve never been in trouble. Band d my kids their ass they’re not in trouble!!! See the pattern?????
Joshua Melocik
This mother deserves an Award, not to be investigated by CPS. What she did is called good parenting. If my son did what he was doing he would be lucky to only get a good open handed smack to the head. This is what’s wrong with society today, to many people telling others what they are doing wrong. How about we open an investigation into Baltimore CPS and see how many “kids” they “protected” that grew up and ended up as thugs or in the criminal system or injured or killed from activities that could have been prevented with some good parenting.
Wanda House
As parents we must take charge of our children. I’m with this mother. He could have been killed.a smack or two cannot be compared to the danger he was in
Natty Burnett-Burton
Why don’t they investigate the crooked cops and leave the “facking” yes facking woman alone.
Edward Moore
what is this country comeing to
Laura Aquila
Are you serious now. I TOTALLY agree what this mother did was right. Lord help children and Family services in Balitmore if they say any different…smh
Yvonne Mason
Oh no they didn’t – IDIOTS!
JoAnne Bobrek
this is a joke right???
Shorty All-smiles Michel
Then they wonder why this generation has no respect for NO ONE! Let parents be parents and discipline their fucking child!!!!!
Juanita Brown
They’re trying to get funding, that boy was not abused. If he was the one to crash the windows on the police car, would they have stepped in to help him. NO!!
Patricia Craig-Amorello
Our priorities are really screwed up.
Kathy Green
This is RIDICULOS. They would rather allow the kid to participate in violence against police officers than allow a parent to take them out of that situation… idiots
Maj Jam
So, let me get this right. It’s ok to be beaten by the police, but not your parent?
I have no words for the stupidity!
Stacie STill Standing Andrews
WOW..guess they made cuz the cops couldn’t get to him first
Kay Idzik
this is why we have those kids doing what their doing…LET PARENTS BE PARENTS,she did the right thing he’s NOT a baby or a toddler he’s a teen he deserved what his Mom did
Jen Carlynn
Sure. Because putting them in foster care would be a much better option to keep the kids off the streets. Is this a F’ing joke??
Daisy Oliveras
Ohhhhh..that’s right!!’parents aren’t allowed to hit their kids!!! It’s the Police Department who are allowed to whoop..beat .kill them!!

How terrible that when a mother shows she cares and wants her kids to do right she is being punished but yet we question whats wrong with our youth. Weve lost the right to punish our kids!

Maybe if we had more mothers like her we wouldn’t have the issues with out of control youth! Leave her alone to parent HER child…. Focus on real instances of child neglet and abuse!!! This is consequences for his dumb actions!
Pernella Garcia
I suppose this mother n if that was my son grandson newph I bet his sss to. That’s what you call a caring parnet
Joe Florida
Hit the “Facts” button people. This is SATIRE.
Steve Shafit
CPS Needs a new supervisor. The woman was correctly disciplining her son. The idiots in the government should stay out of it.
Ryan Burns
Thats some bs thats what you call a good beating these young kids these days hAve no respect anyway they need there ass beat every now and then the young guy mY turn out to be a good man cause of his mother taking action! Cps your going after the wrong parents! Close the case asap! He acted grown he got treat grown the police haS been killing people look into that
Kunle Oluwo
Let us help build a good future that is filled with hope and responsible leadership by handling our kids just as the woman has demonstrated to the entire world any act of condemnation on her by who ever is the result of the unprintable behavior we see allover today. Mother’s Pls wake-up.
Andrew Skaggs
This is a joke, rIght?
Rayla Thomas
This is just why teens are out of control make up your mind you want me to be a parent or not!!!!Hats off to Ms. Graham we need more parents like that!!!
Bob Booher
BCPS mind your own business, do something constructive for your pay.
Lori Carter
child protective services have long been known for their stupidity. We as parents have had our rights stripped away. i don’t believe in beating a child but a swat on the butt to get their attention is not damaging. ..and when your son is 16 you can’t give them a “time out” in the corner and where he was, with rock in hand, she saved him from doing some real stupid stuff
Elcia Ashford Mcintyre
I believe there could been another way she could got her son out there….. Yes she save her son life . but what other harm did she cause him as a man child.. Please read the Willie Lynch Theory……..
Marie Crump
Wow! I am speechless….
Christina Noel
Can some1 smack the shit outta the CPS.. always @the wrong time time do they do a Captain Save 5 hoes move…. Did he look lije he was hurt..did he look scared…yeah after he saw his MOMMA and knew she was gonna Tap dat @$$♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Difference in abuse/neglect..
This was LOVE for her Black Ass only son that she wishes to keep.. so she can’t whoop his ass but white police can…THIS SHIT DUMB!!! Y PEOPLE MAD:'(:'(:'(
Teresa Woodward
I see a mom trying to protect her son. He was doing something he wasn’t suppose to be doing. We need more mom’s and dad’s like this. I don’t want to get in trouble with anybody. I am not saying beat them but they need disipline.
Chris Stockwell
And yet, CPS in Baltimore is not investigating families allowing their kids to be involved in the destruction and rioting. Seriously??????????
Linda Buckreis Bernstein
I think CPS is taking this too far. She was being a parent and teaching her son a lesson and removing him from a bad situation. That’s what parents do. Parents are no longer allowed to be parents without worrying about child services butting I.
Diane Croft
We need to petition against this! CPS would rather the kid have been shot dead by police I guess. Idiots!
Kahlilah Cobin
We need more mothers like that if he had died that day she would have been labeled a bad mother its not right leave her alone
Kendra Patrice Nelson
Well I knew this shit was coming…REALLY, and if he had of went to jail, then it would have been her fault…sit yall asses down some fucking were…The ones that need to be checked up on, you claim you have lots of cases…and the ones that are trying to keep there kids out of the system and the morgue, then you want to investigate.. its not the kids and the parents that are fucked up, its the system…smh..and I hope if another one of her kids went out to do the same dumb shit the wrong way, hell grab and beat his ass all the way home.. She didn’t bruise him, lock his ass up in a closet, or not fed him, she protected him, the way she knew how…smh..
Jo Natha Stock
I hope this is a joke…
Olumide Oni
really? you’d rather the police kill him than his own mother correct him. Who are you people?
Romona Jones
I guess CPS would have been called on me to because I would have done the same thing the mother did.
VanceandKaye Worthington
Failure to discipline IS child abuse. CPS should have many true needs to investigate unless this mom is already in the system.
Stan Bialobzeski
Good f—–g hang her. It’s not the first time she’s done it. You can tell she’s good at it a lot of practice!!how do you think this animal got like this, from a stern talking to. I think NOT!!!
Amanda Alexander
One of the many things that is wrong with society. Wow.
Shae Pierce
Child protective services need to be focusing on real issues and not someone who very likely saved her son’s life. If he had been in the riot and been hurt or killed they would have been saying where were the parents? I am sick of CPS acting like pit bulls on the no brainer cases and letting the real cases that they need to be focusing on slide. Maybe if they get bombarded by letters of support for the mom will shut them the hell up.
Parmella Miles
This is what happens when “legal outsiders” start butting in. I still give her “MOTHER OF WHATEVER”. This is this Mom’s only son and he needed his narrow butt kicked BEFORE his “friends” got him killed. Then what would all those “legal outsiders” have to say? You go MOM!
Kim Mann Bennett
Really!! CPS needs to stay the hell out of this and go protect the children who need to be protected. If we were allowed to really discipline are children like when I grew up these kids wouldn’t be so disrespectful. I am not talking about abuse but you should be allowed to smack your kids when they aren’t behaving and if you disagree then maybe we should have put all the rioters in time out I am sure that would have worked. I support this mother 100%!!
Linard Bethune
This is ridiculous she needs a medal
Lonny James
R u serious. Here u have a mother concerned for her son trying 2 keep him out of harms way n C.P.S wants 2 investigate her, there it is yall they want us 2 let our kids be ignorant so they can kill em or lock em up, The devil is truly at work n we need 2 really pray n seek the face of God.
Reggie Jackson
I’m going to help my people out here…. In the beginning of this story, there are 2 buttons, one, highlights the FACTS! … The other does not. Therefore, there is NO FACTUAL, TRUTH, to THE RUMOR , this mother is being investigated. Pass it on….
Jesse Wade
Looks like another riot is about to happen again. Newslo you should be ashamed of yourself. Sounds like your trying to get something started. People please don’t feed into this. Lies, Lies, and more Lies.
Adrienne Wilkins
Unbelievable!!!!
Erin M Rutan
Child protection services is a JOKE they do more harm then they do good. This mom took a stand to protect her child from being arrested or worse killed. She is doing her job and the fact they are “investigating” her is utter bull seriously if the government would get their nose out of shit MAYBE we wouldn’t be as screwed up as we are.
Manny Chicu
I guess disciplining your children is child abuse in today’s world. What is this country coming to.
Ashby Galvan
Prime example of people needing to mind there own Fu**ing business.
Karen A. DeMayo
I’m about sick of those scumbag psychopathic hypocrites that call themselves protectors of children when most children have wound up abused molested and even dead in the custody of CPS
Kira Rector
You got to be f$!kin kidding me! So baisically its okay to allow your child to attack police but not okay to woop his ass for it!! CPS needs to be put in check THIS IS BS!! SHE WAS NOT ABUSING HIM SHE WAS BEING A GOOD MOTHER ITS NO WONDER OUTLR PRISONS AND JAILS ARE BEING FILLED TO CAPACITY!!!
Linda Duford Dayot
Amazing how they get their nose in some place it does not need to be, but when they need to get involved it is out of their hands. Good grief you should be applauding this mother!
Timothy Goodwin
thank politically correctness for that……she shoulda let um riot…most of her comunity, preachers and mayor seems to think its ok….the mayor allowed it…..and i hear non condiming it
Lynn Rice
They will look into it and find nothing. If they do charge her it’s bullshit! My kid came home from babysitter with bruises up and down the backs of her legs and those pieces of shit at child services did nothing for her. They would be bitching he was a thug if she sat around and did nothing but let her child run wild. CPS is USELESS in this state
Dina Wright Jeffries
This is BS!! More moms should have been there doing the exact same thing! I’m ashamed to think that CPS could think this was anything other than a mother trying to make sure her kid didn’t do the wrong thing!
Christina Noel
The City couldn’t get him to go home…
1brief eye contact changed his situation in 2.1 seconds…say where u @
HOME !!!!!
Keith Brock
That’s why this country has gone to crap! We aren’t allowed to raise our children anymore. The government wants to step in and tell you how to do it, but look at this new society that we are turning out. Wish we still had something to be proud of! Merica
Matt Adams
What bs are you kidding me! !!
Teresa Renae LeGrand
Wow this is unbelievable! Child protective services go find some parents that don’t care about their children!
Sondra Motton

Child Protective Services you are a bunch of dumb asses… CPS thinks they are doing a good job… You need to be investigated… How many times have you removed children from a good home only to place them in danger… You people can’t even run your own damn life and you want to run ours… Time for you people to realize your system doesn’t work… Spare the rod spoil the child… These kids today suck they are bullies disrespectful and hateful thank you CPS… You need your ass beat…
Angela Roberts
Straight BS and CPS needs to sit down somewhere and leave her alone!
Jamie Kistler
Stupidity at its finest. ANY parent, who LOVES their child, that would do the same. I fully support Ms. Graham.
Wanda Hudgins-Dixon
This is crazy!!!!
Rodney Carter
So. ….she should have just let her son riot? I think there’s more than just the PD screwed up in Baltimore. I already proclaimed this lady Mom of the Year.
Sheri Watts
This story is NOT TRUE!!!! Newslo is a satirical news publication. Nothing in it is true!
Delana Gosa
Amazing!!! Can never do they’re job right. Complete idiots. They’d rather see him dead or in jail. God is victorous.
Phoebe Byrd
Typical CPS. Why don’t y’all go help kids that actually need your help.
Julie Stier
That is shitty!!!
Kimberly Morton
It will be another riot to protect her. Baltimore watch out. Smdh
Natesse Monroe
Really! Isn’t he a grown ass man?
Cherie Marie Orr
If you click “show facts” only the top is highlighted. Nothing involving CPS is highlighted!
Mark Seibert
And this why society like it is. She should get a award for thinking about her son when he was doing what he was doing.
Sam Oputa
Somebody trying very hard to justify their pay at Child Protective Services
Angie Hawks
That is ridiculous!!!!!! Baltimore child protective services should put all of there efforts on crack head mother, parent who prostitute their children, & on children who are neglected!!!! That mother was saving her child life. If that boy would have throw a rock at the police, he would have been dead. Is that what you want Baltimore child protective service???
Q'shae Tate
They bogus asl. I think she had every right to beat her son ass.
Marisol Padilla
I suggest to all to go the Baltimore Child Abuse Center on Facebook and protest!!!
Marisol Padilla
No leave this mom alone!!! Seriously, this son of hers was vandalizing and throwing rocks at police officers so she intervened! How about you child protective services investigate the police department who arrest and abuse young boys and girls who the same age. Oh right they were doing there job protecting the city. So what do you think this MOM was doing protecting her child and city!!!!
Ruthann Prange Souders
If more mothers would take her lead and be like her maybe there would BE less violence! You go mom!!!
Margie Astalos Cook
CPS needs to go. If a child is being abused the legal system should deal with it. This mother had a right to discipline her son and possibly keep him out of strangers hands who might have abused him! When will our governments(fed and local) allow us to take care of our own affairs and stay out of private lives.
Sonia Gruel Byrd
I guess ya want more war this time moms.
Janis Martin
Are you kidding me??? That mother did her job.
Michele Noonan Simonetta
Omg…maybe she should have put him in a time out or have him write a “think about it”! This is why our children have no respect for parents and other authority figures. She wasn’t abusing him she was saving him. If I had been in her position I would have done the same thing!
Kwaku Ofori
Spare the rode and spoil the child. Now you have child services going after this woman for disciplining her child. I wish someone from child services will step foot at my house for disciplining my child.
Donna Dupree Miller
CPS needs to just butt out and let parents be parents.
Jocilyn Hudson
Truly…this is satirical…? If not Lawyer UP Miss Graham!!!
Ruby Edwards
If it was my child doing that I would have done the same thing. That’s what’s wrong with our kids today the parents are no longer in control of them. My parents spanked my butt when I was growing up and it tought me respect for other people and property.
Yusuf Abdus Sabur
It showes the no matter what this black mom have forgiveness in heart I guess she say two wrong don’t make a right
Howard Beck
I called them this morning. 410-767-7112 and spoke to a representative. While I think that the CPS is coming off like a bunch of idiots she explained to me that they did receive complaints and therefore have to investigate. Basically she said that they were damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
John Ivanisin
Nothing like sending the wrong message… No wonder why kids grow up to be punks because of ridiculous government agencies intervening
Mark Simrow
You can’t even sneeze at your kids or DCFS will be called on you. I understand why, but what ever happened to common sense? The Baltimore riot is just more proof that today’s youth doesn’t respect any type of authority. If i was her, i would have done the same thing. Say all you want, some times a kid just needs a good kick in the ass to get their head straight. Teach them how to respect their selves and others around them.
Maureen McGrogan
CPS had better NOT do a thing to this Mother! MANY across the US are watching THEM and this Mom of the CENTURY and will be all over them if they do anything to her. funds will be raised for her defense so fast it will make their heads spin. more parents need to parent like this mom so children learn right from wrong. MD CPS should learn the difference between parenting and abuse to stop wasting taxpayer money. an investigation into MD CPS is really required as their practices of the ‘free range’ children and now this mother are extremely questionable. their judgement of what is abuse is severely off base
Joanna Armstrong
The Baltimore child protective services need to be a shame off themselves cause if she didn’t do then the Baltimore police sure was gone do some as they catch him nobody want to see there son actin like animals or begin convicted of bs i totally Agree wit mrs Graham she didn’t hurt him she jus let him knows wat right
Andre Thomas
DIRTY MUTHA FUCKAS, LEAVE THAT WOMAN ALONE YOU SORRY FUCKAS!!! IF SHE DID NOTHING THEN THE SYSTEM WOULD BE TRYING TO LOCK THAT BOY UP OR KILLING HIM IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED ITSELF!!!! YOU FUCKING SCUM BAGS OF THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES OF BALTIMORE, MD NEED TO GO WORK ON A CASE WORTHY OF YOUR ATTENTION, OH BUT WAIT MAYBE YOU’RE NOT QUALIFIED TO KNOW WHICH CASES THOSE ARE!!! PIECES OF SHIT IS WHAT YOU ARE……FUCKING COWARDS WITH AUTHORITY
Kimberly Blevins
Because we aren’t allowed to “smack” our children is why all this shit happened. There is no real form of discipline. So children now a days think they can do anything. And that’s exactly what they are out there doing!!
Cammie Wires
This is a satire news site. If you’re viewing this through an actual computer, you can click the “show the facts” and “hide facts” button to see what’s actually real in the story. If it doesn’t get highlighted, then it’s fake. If you’re viewing this through mobile you won’t have this option. This story is false.
Samuel Stevenson
Are you kidding me
Erica Campolong
Complete BS. CPS needs to realize how much this mother truly loves and cares about her son. She risked her own safety to go save her son, drag him out of the riot before he was hurt or hurt anyone else. She SAVED him CPS! Team Toya!!
Megan Friday Bryant
Why not go after the parents who allowed their children to riot on the streets? They’re the ones who pose a danger to themselves and society.
Jessica Leftenant
Cps needs to pay more attetion to parents molesting children.
Tonya Shadd
Newslo’s “No Need to Satirize” brings you completely factual stories that are so ridiculous, they don’t need our trademark touch. Whenever you see #NNTS, you’re reading COMPLETELY real news that only seems too absurd to be true.
the above story is not true.
Billy RedOcto Clippings
This is why the system is f up
Zina Hughes
This is some BS guess they just want her son to go to jail or get killed by thepolice a damn shame that was not abuse give me a f–‘ing break
Stacy Osborn
That’s why kids act like they do. She made him she had him and she should be able to beat him if needed!
RevRobin Eldridge
So they would rather take these children out of a discipline-present home and instead place them in a dysfunctional system. smh
Jennifer Grady Price
If more parents did this you might not have so many crimes. She did what she needed to.
Jeannie Andrada
Oh hellll no! Don’t get it twisted folks taking kids from homes is a business the first three minutes of this video is all you need to watch of this Georgia senator exposing the corruption of cps.. https://youtu.be/ztEqMounuRU
Bettye Arnold
Child protective services need to check themselves. This is bull. This woman was protecting her child. I suggest they learn the difference. What the officers did to Gray was abuse. What Toya Graham did was protect her son from getting hurt. People keep in mind. The message they are sending is. It’s ok for officers to abuse/kill our children. It’s not ok for parents to chastise their own children. That was not anything for child protective services to get involved with. Praying for MS. TOYA GRAHAM.
Mina Kas
God bless her. We need more moms like her.
Rob Jennings
This is a prime example when the Law does not know when to work. She had and have every right to correct her 16 year old son. If she did not trust me the police would have
Crystal Pickett
That’s some straight up bull crap. She did the right thing and now cps wants to investigate. That’s what’s wrong with the kids today , when the parents do their jobs they get in trouble for it.
Andrew MusicJunkie Darden
No they don’t want you to discipline your child they’d rather just kill them or beat them and lock them up wake up
Malissa Smith
I’m so TIRED of everything that’s going on In this world
Sionann Garcia
It’s not true. This is a news/satire hybrid site.
Chris Stetsko
I KNEW and I CALLED IT! I knew this was going to happen. This mom did the right thing and now the government is going to step in an call her an unfit mother. NOW ASK, why do all of these thugs and a-holes act like this? Because they never got an ass whooping as a child when they misbehaved! And I found a SECOND news story, I guess it just hasn’t hit the LAMEstream media yet. http://nationalreport.net/child-protective-services-launches-investigation-abusive-practices-hero-mom/
Alvin Fields
And what do they intend to do with her children? Cash in on them like most of these corrupt foster agencies do and them toss the kids out into the streets into homeless shelters when they have no more use for them?
Jazzy Slickmouth Jay
Wtf they mad because she rasing her child right to be a leader not a follower and they pull some bull like this they trying to tear us blacks any way they can and no how this pure stupid
Tanya Gpt Hagans
Thats what is wrong with these children today. Its okay for the police to beat and kill them, but when a parent correct them it’s not okay. Someone please explain to me, I’m lost.
Argentria Harden IV
She showed out for those white folks and they STILL gonna get in her ass!
Rya Nichols
Man f*** CPS! I support everything she did.
Cassie Kutev
I’ve become truly disenchanted with CPS. A brand new case worker at the school saw red on my daughter’s cheek and thought that I struck my little girl’s face.
My baby girl has eczema on her knees,legs,hands and her FACE.
During the in home interview about how I parent, my daughter came out of her room and gave me a hug and a kiss.
This “case worker” had to have her supervisor with because I as her “first case”.
The supervisor apologized for wasting my time.
It is truly astonishing now daft these folks can be.
Desiree Parsons
CPS ! Attention CPS! The reason Baltimore is burning to the ground right now is because there are few mothers out there that actually put their kids in their place like this mother did. Would you rather an asswhoopin or this kid accidentally get trampled to death, caught in a fight, attqcked by cops, accidentally lit on fire, or accidentally get his face smashed with one of these giant rocks that are getting flung at cops??? I will repeat myself, you guys investigating “child abuse” on q mother like this is the reason all these punk ass kids are destroying your city… #goodmom #discipline #baltimore #cpsispartoftheproblem
Judy Lind
How in hell is it abuse when that boy is bigger than she is?
Louise Sundvall
If the world had more moms like her, we’d have far less juvenile problems!!! The Childrens’ Services need to look at real problems, not at the parents doing their jobs!!!!!!!!!
Selena Whittinghill
Proverbs 23:24
Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
Probverbs 23:13-15
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul.
Shanika Miles
F…CPS THEYRE BORED IF WE DONT DISCIPLINE OUR KIDS WE R WRONG WHEN WE DO DISCIPLINE WE WRONG IF THEY JUST STUPID BORED N NEED BONUSES … PERIOD POINT BLANK ……
Sharon Eviscera Greenidge
Pure and utter bullshit.
Paddington Brey
Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh this is a satire site this isn’t real ….
Martha Blalock
They need to call them on the cop’s beings tho a lot not all are killing them and charge them with murder.
Trish O'brien
This source thou , really
Courtney Kennedy
Excuse my typos i was typing in frustration “sorry”
Courtney Kennedy
Straight bullshit!!!! As a mother or fatherbsomething measures are needed to sucure ur childs safety and future….
She was rite for her actions if ur child throws a ball and run out into a street in front of a car are u jus goin 2 simply say please dont do that anymore…. Reaction of that child is to run his or her Ass bak in da street but a firm voice or an ass whooping will let them knw its not 2 be done…. The priciples use to whoop kids at school now the parenta cant discipline with their methods i believe Cps needs a guideline on wats child abuse and wats not “Come on now” yes a motherbhitting there childbin da middle of the street for no reason making him wherebit is unbearable to to is understandable but dis really….
Roger Rubio
Old enough to drive but we still want to refer to them as “children.” Well maybe it’s time to up the driving age to 21. Then we’ll see how well of the “children” are.
K-Money Alford
This is retarted!!!!!
Michael Harty
Um… yeah CPS is just looking for a reason to complain, last i check this was reminiscent of an old school ass whooping. I support the mother, the dude needed to be taught a lesson.
Theresa Way AkaBesha
This is bs, cps need to find something to do!!
Kanesha LovingAmari Surles
This can’t be real
Chris Cheeseman
This is pure BS.cps.need to thank her instead the problem is our gov.is trying to do all and be all which it is evident it is not working look how the youth today are acting no respect not only in Baltimore but all over this country.
Scott Wilcox
And people wonder why kids have no respect or discipline. Parents not allowed to parent.
Linda Parks
Are they out of the minds. She did the right thing.
Verna James
Maggots
Elizabeth A. Richter
Oh, please, she didn’t hit him hard–she was mostly loud. In addition, smacking your kids is not illegal and if that’s what she had to do to keep him in line, good for her. I hope everyone understands a little bit more, though, how DCF is completely nuts and is going after good parents and taking their children or investigating them for no good reason.
Anthony Johnson
I’m confused, state say parents handle your children, she did it….now she’s wrong for doing it. The only thing she hurt on that boy was his pride.
Robert Williams
fucking bullshit
Sherry R. Sumner
I am a mother and would have done the same thing. If one of those police officers thought it to be abusive they could have stepped in. I don’t believe she was embarrassed, she did what she had to do to teach her son a lesson. She should hane grabbed a few more to teach them a lesson. You do not riot you protest. That is our right.
Wendy Murray
My God CPS has got to be kidding! She saved her son, out of love, from either being arrested or becoming a statistic. Investigating her “because it has come to our attention that Ms. Graham is the mother of 6 children” so what! Just by her actions with her son you can tell she’s a good mom. This is total BS.
Heather Beller
so cps cannot condone a child being abused, “whatever the cause,” but if they are abused by the cops it’s ok. CPS sure can be a bunch of cowards. I don’t see them going after law enforcement for child abuse because you know they can’t, but poor people, single parents, ect. NO PROBLEM, that’ll be an easy one for them. NEXT THING YOU KNOW CPS WILL START TARGETING PARENTS FOR NOT ENSURING THEIR KIDS AREN’T IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, in the first place.
Cynthia McKeithan-Banks
Are you serious that woman did what she had to do to make sure her son didn’t become a statistic. Toya keep your head up. CPS should be going after the parents burning drowning or just out torturing their not the ones trying to make sure their child survives to adulthood.
Sam Murray
The woman simply took charge of HER child I say give her an award to many parents these days would have threatened timeout or something that would do no good in the situation at hand and the kid could have been hurt and then what…she would have been investigated for neglect or what ever this is crap
Shuntai Lewis
They don’t have nothing else better to do..
Debbie Doman Newell
This is insane. She is being a responsible parent and they want to investigate her. Seriously! If more kids got a good slap some of these kids wouldn’t be acting out. If we did it and our parents saw us we wouldn’t be able to sit for a week. We grew up to respect authority, teachers, etc.
Cheryl Enko
Bullshit. Period.
Cynthia Ashby Cardwell
this is absolutely insane!
Sandra Red
Smh child service should sit the fk down n go investigate mothers who don’t care n feed their children. Not give this woman who ran out to take her son off the st n get hurt. The system us the reason half this kids act the way they do..
Tami Carlson-Fields
Complete waste of tax payers dollars… Maybe if more mothers acted on what they see/know their teen children are doing wrong morals would be stronger in the world today
Step Wallace
And this what they do to a young black mother when she do what she has to to keep her young black son in line and alive. They try and take all her kids. So the can all end up in a broken system and learn to do all the wrong things in life. The American government is so fucked up when it comes to black american. Had he got shot and killed by police they would say she didn’t discipline him right. CPS should mind there on fucking business.
Brian Seth Thompson
Guess mom should have let the son go and get arrested for assault or breaking and entering or whatever he might have done if she wouldn’t have stopped him. Far as I’m concerned she may have saved her sons life, and save her and the tax payers money by keeping him off the streets and out of jail. I hope they catch all the kids and adults that destroyed private and public property. The law is the law make them all pay for there actions. If all the parents would do what she did there would not have been near as much damage done
Too Proud Mcmillan
They need to mind there businss one less child out there starting trouble she was not hitting him hard enough for them to say anything to her and i support what she did
Naarah Holley
You have got to be freakin kidding me I wish I wish it was me and cps came to my house with tears streaming down my face eyes red as a night fire I wouldn’t even allow them in I’d step outside my door and tell them if you dnt get the f%#k away from my door about my kids whom I love dearly go find and fight some real child abuse cases leave my house now and I mean now no weapon needed because my persona and the authority in my voice and my index finger pointed square at would be enough!!!!!!!!!
Juaniqua Anderson-Walker
You can’t discipline your children at home the teachers can’t discipline them at school so to me its all a set up to let our people go down the wrong road and that’s death or jail…..so sad but true…..!!!
Marcie McCown Bobst Lmt
There is a big difference between protesting and rioting. This mother should be commended for her willing to ensure that her son is doing the right thing not ridiculed by a system who doesn’t know them. That is exactly what’s wrong with today’s society, parents have had their ability to parent stripped away. I got whooped when I was little. I was taught manners and respect with a stern hand and am a better person for it. There is a big difference between “beating” your child and “whooping” them. This momma whooped him and for good reason.
Stephanie Crain
Pay attention to the “Show Facts” button. Only some of this article is true.
Derek Weller
So discipline is abuse now? And they wonder why children end up in the system! These people are stupid. He’s lucky that’s all he got!!
Kito Gavin
Lol, if that’s so, then Launch an investigation on Freddy Gray for throwing rocks at Police. He obviously got what he deserved, a mom that cares to keep him out of trouble. No investigation is needed, all the “Protective” services want is money.
Chris Rombough
Discipline not abuse!
JessicaLucinda Cindy Williams
If you click on the “Show Facts” button, it will highlight the facts, and the “spin” will be not be highlighted.
JessicaLucinda Cindy Williams
Not even a reputable blog. Some of these “news articles” are laughable.
Bronxstar Payne
This is some left wing-Liberal BS and the reason we are in this mess.they would rather this young man end up incarcerated where he will be under their care instead of his mothers love..I am a mom of a grown son and the love that mom showed, should be hailed instead of scrutinized-I’m sure more sons wished their mom cared enough to find, admonish,and apprehended them at the brink of a bone headed decision-#Godhelpamerica
Duane Chatman
Stupidest shit that I ever hear…but it’s ok for a cop to beat the shit out of him…I never see CPS speaking up about that…

this is stupid!…and who’s gonna make that big-o boy leave his home…he’s to big/to old to be dragged off by CPS!?
Alex Clark
“Are you freakin kidding me???? THIS is exactly the reason why kids have zero respect for anything and act like barbaric fools. We are no longer allowed to be parents. The law wants our children to run us. Ridiculous. And people wonder why there are so many assholes now a days. NO DISCIPLINE. This poor woman was trying to get her child to stop behaving in such a disrespectful manner. Even the police officer at the meeting stated how he wished more parents took control of their children. And then, she gets slapped with an investigation on her ability to be a good mother. This really just pisses me off. Well officer, now you know why parents don’t control their children; they just don’t want to have to go thru playing 20 questions and defending their actions every time they discipline their kids.”

It was just a matter of time. Who momma need to be beating who now.
Robert Williams
Buu
Mari Jane
So stupid
Tracey Maddox
I can’t believe this. Shameful act again on CPS
Rita Lincoln
So much bullshit! Go save kids who actually have no one! Child services are useless at times! This mother has done what any mother would do. Get your child out of riots! She has all my respect!
Omar-Xavior Jamreloaded Ford
guess if she played football or her son was a dog wht folks would have been upset… beat a black man by any means necessary, then parade his shame around the world… sure, NOOOOO problems with self esteem THERE…
I was a victim of CHILD ABUSE masked as “parenting” when the truth is my mother didnt have the skills to deal with her own anger and based on her rearing the cycle continued…
Before she died, she shared her soul with me and we were able to heal. She would not have condoned this as a PUBLIC action…
beware what you let people witness you doing.. people love to CO-SIGN foolishness..

Clarence Campbell Sr.
LOL, too fuccing funny. then people wonder why folks are getting slaughtered left and right.
Jayanne Conahan-Czerniakowski
that’s ridiculous…whomever thought to do an investigation should be smacked up right along with the son…that’s what wrong with America you try and prevent your kids from becoming the problem and big government wants to step in, and if you DON’T big government wants to step in…its a loose loose for parents….
H Lamont Watson
This is the system you’re beating your son to protect. Serves you right. WAKE UP!
Saundra Bailey
The are concerned about him facing violence by a mother who loves him and wants him to live to see another day? Have they checked on the children under their charge that are in foster homes or their own homes who get beat daily just because? Really???
Donna Clardy
I support this mother.
Denise Lowe-Cotten
I support the mother but I wouldn’t have been on camera doing all of that. I would have kindly told him once to bring his behind with me. Now once we got home, I would have given him a slap up side his head. I understand where she was coming from but Child protective services has a job to do as well.
Ortiz Victor
She did nothing wrong!!
Yaasmiyn Jensen
With all the unnecessary damage to the city, you would think they would have better things to do. I highly doubt anything will come of it. It is not illegal in the state of Maryland to use corporal punishment to discipline your child. He would need to be injured by the incident. Way to continue wasting tax payer dollars.
Lorenda Heathcock
I support this MOM!!!! I would have done same thing, I would rather beat his butt in Love than thugs beat him in jail who ever started this is a Dumb DUMB AND DUMBER !!!!!
Scott Wilcox
Guys, relax this site is pure satire
Christina Hartley
Really? What about all the druggies that are in and outta jail on drug charges and they still have their children? This mom is trying to do the right thing and children’s services buts in… Way to go guys, way to work out the priorities
Brandy Lucas
Another excuse to show how the justice system works for black people, I guess they would have rather the police shit him down in the streets…. wow
Waddup Homeslice
What if Martin Luther king’s mother beat his ass for protests? And rosa parks mother snatched her off the bus? She is a horrible mother! The actions during the protest brought charges on those that we’re accountable for murder. That would never have come to pass if it was not for the brave and courageous patriots of this America
Joy Wright Mayweather
And in other news …”Baltimore Cops gets away with murder”
Delilah Lily Love Cooks
They turn their heads on all them other children that got killed why mess with this woman That save her child from possibly getting killed Smh
Gassan Sangari Snr
this is pure bullshit I support this mother
Natalie Ann
This is absolutely ridiculous, let punish this woman for trying to so her child from doing what her shouldn’t be doing. She may have been a little intense about it but it’s an intense situation. More parents should be like her and should step up and actually care about where their children are and what they are doing. The world would be as effed up as it is if they did.
Lillian de la Cruz
That dumb ass kid got his mom in trouble smh
Earnest Kelso
So what was she supposed to do.Get on her knee’s and beg him to think about his future. Gtfoh
Virginia Scott
Pure b.s that’s what this is
Debbie Stout
Total bullshit. CPS gets it wrong again!
Steve Clement
Tell me this is a fucking joke!
Vickie Waters
I knew it!!!!!!
Lawrence W. Wisdom
Maybe the States Attorney General needs to start an investigation into the child protective service for wasting taxpayers money.
Dana Marie Williams Hoggarth
CPS is a joke more kids getting killed, beaten,and raped on there watch. This world has turned to shit. If my child did id do the same thing. I dont believe in Abusing a child but i do agree with what this mother did.she is a hero.
Christopher Barnes
I’m glad Child Protective Services is doing there job!
Jeannette Davis
Ccps should be charging the parents of the delinquent teenagers rioting in the streets. This mother was taking her child off the streets.
LaSaundra Scott
This is BS. She hit him with a open hand on his hooded head. If anything, she hurt her hand more than she hurt his head. It was not violent or abusive. Had she picked up a stick and commence beating his ass, that would have been violent and abusive. It was better that she hit him up side the head than the police that were out there.
Matt Hubbard
Apparently, she’s Obama’s niece. If you check out the “OneLove Project” Facebook page, it’s on there.
Amy Aisling
they are fucking poa..dcf.. we need a fund to help get her a lawyer asap!!!!!!!!
Phill Gouldburne
Now they need justice kid who his mom stop from being on the wrong side of the law but there’s no justice for the one who was killed
Efrain Arzuaga
So since they wanna do that then dont complain when shit happens cause is all CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES FAULT!!! funny cause is eazy for child severces to jump but when a cop kills a young child no one wanna get involve hummmmmmm
Julie Williams
CPS go to hell.
Efrain Arzuaga
And thats why we are were we are!!!! Cause america dont let us as parents do our jop!!!!! The system is always in our businness. Back in da the days when we had more control of our kids they had more respect
Sek Breezie
Trying to take the attention off what the police did to Freddie that’s all… Damn shame
Lee Guy
That’s the problem now days kids grow up to think they can do what ever they want to with no consequence. Cause every one to scared to go to jail for spanking there kids, and every one wonders why there so much violence and kids in jail now days. There are real child abusers out there and they want to go after the people that do care about there kids and not end up in jail or dead. I got my butt beat when I did something wrong and I grew up to be a good person and thank my parents for raising me right, and to be a good man and a good father
Joey Gavigan
This why the kids are the way they are I use to get beat by teachers when I was a kid so guess I should go an Sue them an blame my life on that lmfao world really f up
Chantal Fournier
I FULLY support the mother. CAS, how about you go back on some Files of kids that you turned a blind eye to, that are STILL being abused and leave the parents that are actually doing wit job, ALONE! COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!!!!
Sandy Blackburn
They need to riot CPS, throw rocksvat them….then maybe they wouldn’t be so worried about a mother stepling in and stopping it!
Rita Lincoln
Bull
Darnell Anthony
What’s scary about this whole article is not the alleged abuse by the mother and the child being investigated but how easily people are manipulated by what they see versus what they know…only a few people actually either took the time to research it or take a look at who posted the article everybody else with their blinders of emotions and not logic quick to condemn call out ridicule but in the end look foolish ….keep up the lack of common sense so people who create these articles because people don’t do things unless there’s an audience
Tereza La Caballota Perez
It is a constitutional right to parent.
Stephanie Mathis
She “abused and berated him”? Seems like she was saving her child from being another statistic. Baltimore has more to be concerned about than this smh. If she had let him continue acting up, everyone would’ve been calling her a f’d up mom. The government is out of hand smh.
Phillip Marsh
You have got to be bloodying kidding me. What are those IDIOTS at Baltimore Child Protective Services thinking? IDIOTS! ONE AND ALL! The entire lot should be fired!
Cindy Kisling
True or not. I’d beat the shit out of him.
Dmarie Lovinme
Find someone to harass, she needs to think about it and go smack him again.
Andre Thomas
I wanna a WHITE MOMMA TO GO DOWN TO the riots and pull her child out of there the same way and let’s see if CPS wants to “INVESTIGATE” her!!!!
Charlie Queens Bronxson
No parents should ever treat their child like that. Let them run wild so the Baltimore Police Department can beat them. Meanwhile, there’s a child out there that really needs to be protected and the ACS is no where around. System is full of poop!!
Lois Chase Fetterman
Support the mother–she did what was right! Baltimore Child Protective Services should stay out of this. He’s lucky to have a mom that cares enough to discipline him.
Jammie Rushing Avery
What was she to do? Spank his big 15 (maybe) year old hiney? They need to stop. They can’t have it both ways. Don’t want you to discipline your child, but they calling them thugs and quick to yell out they wasn’t raised right. When something goes wrong, Its all in the parenting then though hugh.
Kizzy Ann
If this is for real then smh.
Annie Janice Brown Dendulk
PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS VIOLENT AND SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE IT DIFFERENT,ETC.!! THIS IS WHAT IS NEEDED IN SOCIETY TODAY MORE PARENTS WILLING TO GO OUT AND GET THEIR CHILDREN NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!! MY MOTHER LITERALLY BEAT ME AND I STILL LOVED HER AND RESPECTED HER FOR WHAT SHE TAUGHT ME. IF THE SOCIAL SERVICES WOULD STAY OUT OF GOOD PARENTING BUSINESS THERE MAYBE FEWER KIDS OUT GANG BANGING AND DRIVEBY’S AND DRUG USAGE!! UNLESS YOUR CHILD IS BEING STARVED,OR HUNG FROM THE CEILING BY HIS THUMBS,LEFT IN A CAGE IN THEIR OWN FECAL MATTER,AS SOME OF THE STORIES I’VE READ. THEN GOVERNMENT SHOULD STAY OUT OF HOW WE WERE RAISING OUR CHILDREN!! USE THAT TIME TO PUT SOME JOBS ON THE MAP!! SO WE DON’T NEED ALL THE HANDOUTS YOU WASTE TIME TRYING NOT TO GIVE TO THOSE WHO NEED IT!!
Jennifer Larrabee-Ireland
Why doesn’t cps go investigate the parents of the teens that were allowed to riot that night??
Paulina Carrillo
this is ridiculous. Child Protective Services needs to be dealing with more important issues. She taught her son a valuable lesson and we need more parents like her maybe this world wouldn’t be in the shape it is in.
Brenda Livingmylifelikeit'sGolden Berryhill
If more mothers were like this mother maybe the police would’nt be killing our young black men. Thats what’s wrong they don’t want us to discipline our children. What should she had done, ignore what she saw to be wrong and let the police kill her son? It seems to be ok to let our babies be killed by th police but it’s not okay for us to discipline them and try to keep them on a straight path. I would much rather whip mine than have them murder in the street by police. We as parents are investigated for disciplining our own but police can murder them without any recoil. There’s something wrong with this picture. Come on peo
Joel DeMarzo
Are fucking kidding me!!! This is total bullshit and whoever made the decision to follow this up should be fired. She did the right thing and who knows might have prevented her son from being jailed, shot, killed and you are investigating her! If more parents stopped treating their children like royalty and taught them some straight up real life lessons about hard work, pride, earn what you need, earn what you want respect is earned not given. I am so tired of the this country’s Government interfering where they do not belong. Its not a color thing except for the government likes to keep it a race issue cause its easier for them to justify their actions.
Elizabeth Cook-Jewett Richards
this is ridiculous taking power away from parents somebody help this women
Malik Salaam
Happy to see this great day
Angelo Nathaniel Mckesson
They need to focus on kids that’s getting abuses behind close’s doors. Not that she did right some people need to stay out of something that every parent need to do Save they child from the street. Only thing they will do is get him and he will be on the street because they don’t know what to do for him . Mom my Hat is off to you because You did Right I would had done the same thing. SAFE MY CHILD FROM THE STREET BECAUSE THE STREET DON’T LOVE YOU!!
Leslie Jay
So apparently, no one knows what SATIRE is. It’s a FAKE article people, damn! Smh.
Pat Moats
Fuck this this is wats wrong with America she stopped her son and if more people were like this we would have more productive people not looters and rock throwers I was whooped as child and a productive citizen
Willis Beverly
The department just want to get some media attention..
Naomi Lacore
How dare ya’ll try to do that to this mother ya’ll know that what she did was the right thing to do. Oh but if her son would have gotten hurt then what would your excuse be to in watergate to find out where was she at the time of the incident. Yeah ok
Stephanie LadySunshine Oliver
Really…. I’m speechless
Ellen Stevens
And if she hadn’t been there, they would have gotten her for Lack of Supervision.
Shania Riley
After all that happened, their going to waste their time investigating this mom? For standing up for our justice system? If the cops saw a problem with it she’d be in jail right now. They need to get it together. This women just saved her babies life.
Jennifer Doleman
Instead of doing an investigation on her how about you do an investigation on all the other kids parents that weren’t there to get their kids to stop. This is just bullshit and CPS should STFU and leave the lady alone
Connie Gomes
This bullshit and this is why kids are what they are nowadays because parents cannot discipline their kids. She is did what every mother should do get your kids out of the none sense that was going on. I think she is a good mother.
Mary Kay Aker
I would have reacted the same way as his mother. Do you really think if she walked up to her son and said “please stop this and come home ” he would have listened?
Mary Clark
Do not believe everything you hear. I work for CPS in Baltimore. The agency received a lot of calls concerning the incident but as now the report was not accepted.
Aurelia Fierros
The stupidest thing I have heard after these disturbs. I rather have a mother smack her child in the head, than have a bullet through his brain, because he’s following a group of youngsters destroying everything on their path, to protest whatever that is.
Brie Lotts
Omg. THIS IS CRAZY! Need to investigate if she can be the legal guardian of her OWN children. WHAT! SHE SHE WAS DISCIPLINING HER CHILD, and it just happened to to be in front of of a crowd. CPS sometimes need to take a backseat.
Stacey King Benjamin
Where was Child Protective Services during the Riots?
Bonzai Temacula
Go ahead and tell them how lame they are and how they should be wondering why the others kids are allowed to go rioting instead of being home.

Roxanne Paris Tulloch
HATERS!!!!! Worry able ya’ll kids BCPS. Worry about those folks who lock their kids in basements etc. #Seriously
Kimberly Perry
Wtf did they say “we can’t not allow a young man stuffer such violence and abuse” omg really looking at the city it self it’s a lil late for that. And i didn’t know getting smacked on the head or were ever was violence or abuse..omg get a fucking life
Ciara Hollandsworth
This website is SATIRICAL DO YOU’RE RESEARCH LAMBS!
Meri Duplantis Blankenship
Are we kidding here? Ignore ya kids and even do drugs while watching em and your ok, but make em tow the line and you’re checked out? That’s crap!
Samantha Justice Steele
That what u call a mother many if these kids thesea days had a mother like they would b how it is now fuck the cops that had every right to do that
Mary Bocook Hutchison
CPS this is a shame if parents are not allowed to control their kids How are they supposed to control them And teach the right from wrong? This is BS
Give paRenting back to parents!
Erica Herd
This is bullshit. She is the only parent that gives two fucks to get her kid of the streets of baltimore. This mother needs a fucking award not for cps in her fucking Life. If we had more mothers like that the rout in baltimore wouldn’t have happened.
Dwayne Startzman
That’s the problem now!!!! Couple smacks in the head to knock sense into him and have him around or just let him go and see him in a casket!!! Keep your nose out of Mom-ma knows best business!!!
Toni Paulson
And because people can’t discipline their kids they turn out like that. I don’t mean it’s ok to abuse your kids but seriously. …this mom was upset and took action to help her son
Leela Marie Nottellin
Who is in charge of cps? A bunch of spoiled rotten adults who didn’t really grow up? No…they’re just trying to put more negativity out there because there was positivity in a negative situation. It’s in the grand plan to have the people fighting against each other. Wake up.
Thelma Lewis
Spare the rod spoil the child. That’s what god said.
Angelica Balboa
2 words BULL SHIT
Kathleen Dorr Hard
Fire CPS investigators…..Mom didnt hit or beat her son..she just smacked or slapped him as I watched on tv news.
Jonathan Alonzo Smith
Please tell me this is a fucking joke….cps this/you are what is wrong with our country
Jacqueline Brunner
The cps department in Baltimore needs to go and sit their butts down. That is her son and she did the right thing by knocking him upside his head for getting involved in the mess. She feeds him clothes him and provided a roof over his head and she has the right to kick his butt when he does something stupid like this.
Monique Ruff
Wow!! This is so stupid!!
Kayla Bradley
I really do support that lady for what she did
Tempest Harris
I’m a mother of three and my son is my only boy and I would of did the same thing
Roxie Maturin
That’s the problem, moms and daddy can’t correct there children. Yes is May seem that she went overboard. But look at the situation.
I would have done the same
Stay Positive
Why dont the child services throw his butt in prison for few weeks instead to teach a lesson to not riot. He was an adult on the streets in his own eyes at that point. His mom should of beat his ass more .
Vi Washington
If she had done nothing, they’d call it neglect.
Marie Pogue
They would rather him end up in jail later than this?!!! CPS is what is WRONG with our children today!! They need to stay out of our homes and let parents discipline so we can raise out children to be responsible and stay out of TROUBLE!!! I was popped in the mouth, head and wherever my mom could reach, I would never disrespect authority like kids today!!!!!
Deanna Bruton-Brisbane
This is the reason kids are they way they are , as parent you cant discipline your child without cps being called. She didnt beat him gods sake, I support her 100 % more parents need to be like her
Lisa Kashner
Are you freaking kidding me???? If that were my child, I’d be right there just like this mom was giving a whooping for such stupidity………does the Baltimore CPS have anything whatsoever better to do with themselves? If parents were allowed to give a well-deserved butt kicking every once in a while, we would not have half the problems with our youth we do today!!!
Shawn Carnegie
That Newslo site is satire… it actually has a button to show the actual facts within a story. Please don’t post any more of those without pointing that out, or you will lose your credibility.
Biggs Smith
This is the most outrageous thing I’ve heard. She did what she was supposed to do. I don’t believe in beating kids but if that were my son he would of got smacked up too
Dianna Allen
I’m not surprised. That’s why we have so many disrespectful kids in this world. Parents have no say!’
Mike McGowan
There is a Show Facts and Hide Facts button…. USE THEM!
Patti Schomp Wilkinson
Are you kidding me? If this were my so I would have done the same thing!!! Protesting peacefully is one thing but they became violent and destructive….. I support the mom!!!!!
Michele Piazza
That is some bs the authorities need to get their priorities straight . At least she is trying to get his butt in check. First they want to say where are the parents then when they show up and discipline their kids now you want to turn around and mess with the parents for being aggressive with the kids wtf that’s what these kids need . Shame on you cps
Mindy Byrd
That’s so wrong!! She was trying to keep her son from being the next black kid shot down by the police!
April Arnett
So would CPS is full of . So she should just let her son get hurt or better yet get put in jail!? Its like the boy is 7 years old and she was beating him because she was drunk.. I guess all the people who works for CPS don’t beat their kids so their kids must be the ones who started setting on fire and throwing the rocks huh…. if it was my son out their I would have had a cowboy belt whooping that ass! #leaveheralone find someone else to harass! #kidsneedmoremomslikeher #cpsisfullofshit!
Erma Robinson
That is so wrong. To my understanding CPS would rather have another young man dead instead of him getting smack a few times for his own protection.
Jimmy Smith
And if the kid woulda got killed out there everyone woulda been questioning his upbringing. Great job mom being a positive role model. It’s sad to say but some of these kids don’t respond unless u give them a nice wake up tap.
Eddie Martin
so I say it’s time people start beating child protective services what a joke
Lori Sciarabba
Ridiculous!!!
Paul Jacinto
I hope this is a joke. Otherwise the people working for CPS Baltimore are a bunch of fuckin’ morons.
Shamena Hilts
but its ok for the police to aggressive force but a sinlge mother slaps her son before the police did….. just sad how the law works……
Chris J Nelson
Of all the violence that happened that day they want to investigate the only person in Baltimore with any common sense at all
Billy Robinson
Seriously! Fuck the cps on this case. The vandal deserved what he got.
Cecilia Vostok
You should be kidding me.? That woman is saving her kids life. Leave her alone, we suppose follow her example not judge ! Give me a break ” child protective services “
Brian L Kent
And this explains why kids today can run a muck and get away with it . Cps should go deal with the real abuse cases not this one .
Megan Joiner Freeman
This is ludicrous, if had not intervened he would be in jail possibly she should NOT be investigated but commended instead
Lisa Mcginnis-Zielinski
When did correcting your child become a Child Protective Issue,,,,where are these assholes when kids are actually being abused? neglected? Pathetic.
Susan Davis
This has got to be a bad joke, that woman saved her son from jail or injury or death, lol, the country will revolt if anything like this happened to her!
Debbie Freeman
Back off Child protective service. What are you protective him from death? His mom is and much more. Yall give children back to abusive family who wind up killing them and when a mom tries to protect her son from getting killed or from some gang yall want to yell child abuse. Hippocrates . We are for the mom!!!!
Billie Green-Walker
soooo… whoopin from momma or the cops? hhmm… Ill take the beating from momma any day. lol
Bethanie S Gordon
You have got to be kidding me!! Is CYS overseen by white folks??!
Kurtis Icon Burns
Child Protective Services needs to be investigating all those parents that were not out there supervising and beaten a child’s ass.
Glenn Hanks
In the end, she saved taxpayer money. I guess CPS doesn’t like that.
Karen Beals Clayton
His mother is child protective services, she is protecting him from the cops
Jeramy Spaxswagg Jetson
That’s what that bitch get lmao
Samantha Hayes
Thats so not right…She was doing right by that boy for being part of the riots….her beating him like that was better than him ending up in a body bag…As a mother i applaud her for hitting some smarts into him.
Crystal Wood
Cps gets on my nearve now if she didnt do anything then she be a bad mom cps this is what it takes sometimes
Chris Anthony
What a bunch of crap. Protective services is a joke in this case
Arvazena Clardy
See this is the crap, I am talking about the government needs to let people raise their children! I know my mom would have done the same thing…but I knew not to do it! smh
Susan Kelly Panzer
I would have dragged him home too, but not hitting him and smacking him. For God’s sake people, THINK!!! Children learn by example! Where do you think most of our youth today have learned to behave in this manner!!??!! From the adults in their lives!
Jay Davison
People think police are bad we as a country need to start protesting against CPS!!
Devon Brooke
Why don’t they investigate the parents that DID ALLOW their children to throw rocks and be on the streets?!
Ron Lehner Jr.
This is a satire site It’s not true
Ron Madara
Jesus H Kay-Ryst….you’ve got to be “F”ing kidding me. This woman should be honored as mother of the year. If that were my kid, my foot would be so far up his ass, he’d have to open his mouth to tie my shoe.
Michelle Soderberg
ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME??? That’s what the hell is wrong with our children now a days is because parents aren’t givin the freedom to be parents anymore! Always some nosy “Child Service” Asshole has to get involved! MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS! SHE PROTECTED HER SON!!!
Brooke Amerson Hand
BS
Jody Kristoff-Timko
They need to get there priorities straight.
Brandi Nemer Mastain
Bullshit. We got our butts beat when we stepped out of line, and we turned our just fine.
Rhonda Woroniak
Rediculoius !
Lainy Marie Goldstein
Are you KIDDING ME?! And this, THIS is why I hate child protective services. They go after parents who actually take care of their children, and let slide the drug addicts, the alcoholics, the real abusers… The parents that spit out kid after kid to get more welfare, the ones that ditch their kids on eers to go party… I could go on and on. Ive had to deal with CPS three times over FALSE reports against me, and the last time they investigated and found all allegations against me to be false, they STILL threatened to take my kids because my youngest son missed a doctors appointment for vaccinations due to my cars battery dying and having to reschedule the appointment. The first time it was a coworker jealous of my promotion and my getting more hours than her, the second it was a family member who was “concerned” that my oldest son wasn’t being taken care of correctly because I was pregnant and on bed rest due to having an umbilical hernia, and the last time was due to my Father-in-laws crazy ex girlfriend making false reports about abuse in the home because they cut her off her anti depressants and xanax due to the fact that she was abusing them. She got thrown out of our house after that. CPS needs to take matters of REAL abuse seriously and stop tourturing these parents with false accusations!!! This mother did act on emotion, but seriously… What parent wouldn’t react that way to catching their child throwing rocks at law enforcement and being destructive?!
Laura Pearce
What was she suppose to do leave him out there? OH I am sorry she can only” hit him on the butt”. This is BS I feel so bad for her!!
Lisa Giovannini-Melby
Read it again after hitting SHOW FACTS. The part about CPS is NOT highlighted.
Kris Vanderbrink
This is a face news site. I hate these stupid sites. If this were a real news site there would be no comments from a CPS spokesperson as all CPS investigations are confidential and we can’t even admit there is the existence of an investigation. Please don’t believe this garbage people.
Pinkie Greer
Why they launch an investigation on some of the unattended children out there vandalizing and burning, and their parents didn’t appear.
Dorothy M. Tate
Tell me this is not a true story
Christine Sherman
YOUNG MAN NOT ONLY YOU JEOPARDIZED YOUR MOM & YOUR LIFE BUT LOOK AT YOUR SIBLINGS THEY ARE IN QYESTIONING FOR YOUR CRAPN YOUNG MAN IF YOU DINT REMEMBER NOTHING ELSE REMEMBER CHOICES BRING CONSEQUENCES. I KNOW YOU MAY FEEL BAD NOW .. LEARN FROM IT YOUR MOTHER COULD HAVE BEEN JAILED. BUT, THE CHEIF COMMENDED IT NOT ALOT OF PARENTS ARE LIKE HER THEY HAVE THEM DOWN FOR TGE DOLLAR PIMPING DAUGHTERS FOR DRUGS & ACCEPTING DRUG MONEY FROM THEIR SONS. OH YEAH. THEY HAVE THEM GOING ALONG TO GET ALONG . NOT THIS PARENT & THE WORLD KNOW DEFINITELY NOT YOURS. THAT’S WHY YOU HAD ON THE MASK YOU CAN NOT OUT SMART YOUR MOTHER REMEMBER SHE HAD YOU. I HEARD SHE RECONIZED YOUR SWEATS. . YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THAT BRAND & COLOR. YOUR SWAG, YOUR BUILT OR YOUR STAND WAS KEY FACTOR IN HER RECOGNIZING YOU. GOD MAY HAVE SPOKEN WITH HERE TO BE THERE TO SAVE YOU FOR A LIFE INSIDE THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. YOU APOLOGIZE TO YOUR MOTHER & SIBLINGS G OR BEING THE IDIOT OF THAT DAY. KEEP YOUR LIFE STRAIGHT IS WHAT I TELL MY 7 . I’VE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT!YOUR MOTHER LOVES YOU. I HOPE THIS REACH YOU!!
Maribel Flores-Barbosa
Unbelievable!
Angie Madera
people believe every damn thing they read.
this is a satirical site.
Marielle Bozza
What people don’t get is CPS has to investigate regardless of the reason because that will set a precedent that any parent can beat their child on the head pubically shame them in public. There are some people that DO abuse their children and as a result die. It’s better to be safe than sorry. If she is good than she has nothing to worry about.
Denise Kindrix
You have got to be kidding me?? See this is what’s wrong with our society!! A single mom of six does what she should have done to put her teenage son in check because he was hurling cinder blocks at police officers!!! Putting his own life in danger, she stepped up and did what any mom would do to protect their child, even if it means protecting him from himself!!! Kudos to you Toya Graham, I’ll send $20 it’s not much but it’s something to help you pay for an attorney!!! Stand up and be proud and tell the government they CAN NOT tell you how to raise your kids!
Tammy N Allen Simmont
That’s what’s wrong with these kids today. We as parents can’t correct our kids without getting cps called on us. And the kids know this and that’s why there’s a lot of disrespectful kids out here.

Ridiculous. Discipline is not abuse. It is crime prevention.
Cindi Garnett
Pure bullshit is right!!! OMG for real??
Anna Heath Camposeco
Wow they need to stop if there were more parents like this maybe we wouldn’t have all the problems with our youth today. That’s the problems we try to disapline our kids and some shithead government worker wants to tell us how to do our jobs as parents.
Beverly Plus John
This is a crock of shit, this woman should be mother of the year for having to do this and show she cares and don’t want her son running the streets like a hoodlum. There wouldn’t have been all this burning in the city shit if more mothers would take a serious interest in their children,,
Ryan Field
If this brave woman needs legal defense, this is one time when I would totally support crowdfunding.
Alan Kell
No but just destroy the town. What a bunch of idiots.
Jennifer Brooksjeweleryincandles
This is such BS!! Take control of your kids and we wouldn’t have the problems we do today. But then when we take control now we are the ones in trouble. These people are unreal! They can’t make up their minds on what a parent should be doing. I saw nothing wrong with what she did! Then again I was brought up in the days when we got hit with whatever a parent could reach for and we knew respect and manners!!
Ta-Shun Anderson Jr.
“Abuse.”This world is pathetic.
Trinita Evans
She didn’t’t smack him she was punching him! Amen. Kudos to the Son for not dropping her to the ground.
Martha Gurney
Please! What the heck is the matter them? She may have saved her dons life.
Elizabeth Beane
this is probably the dumbest s*** I’ve ever read in my life I guess CPS down in Baltimore has nothing else to do but pastor mothers who are actually doing what they should do when their children do not listen and act like a nuisance. I support this mother a hundred percent if there was more mothers out there who stood up for what they believed and discipline their children then the world would not be the s***** place it is today!
Lisa Blythe
I sure hope this is wrong! I say good for her!
Katy Oakley
This is absolutely absurd. Let a young man suffer that type of violence? What about the violence he was going to cause? And how about the fact his mom loved him enough to go out into a riot just to get him? Can’t we worry about ACTUALLy abused children instead?
David Sloan
this is whats wrong with people today leave this mom alone omg
Nikita Gilkey
I was raised on spankings on the butt and I’m ALIVE
Nikita Gilkey
DSD so quick to jump on parents for trying to show there kids the right way to act… but DSS where are they when OUR kids go to jail or killed huh… ok
Julie Hanna
This is theist asinine thing I have ever heard. Why do you think our youth act this way!?!?!? They have been tought that being punished or yelled at us abuse. Weather most of you admit it or not you would have done the same thing!!!!!
Danielle Jethroe Butler
This is not a toddler. This is a boy who is the size of a grown man who is filled with anger. A mom did not want her son to commit a crime and then possibly be charged as an adult.
Crystal Diaz
Pure Bullshit
Marc Winder
I’d donate money to Ms. Graham to hire a lawyer.
Cindy Parks
All of the needy, neglected and abused children in Baltimore who need Child Protective Services and this is who they focus their attention on? Rediculous.
Bre Arnold Norman
why aren’t they going after the people who really needs to be investigated? A mother who recognized her child even with a mask on and they want to investigate her because she’s trying to save his life??? CPS really need to focus there eyes somewhere slew
Gerardo Calderon
What if that was a dad and his daughter?
Jeff Browning
what a load of crap so protective services has no issues him throwing bricks in a riot but god forbid his mother save his life slapping him “well deserved” up side the head. people are going to P.C. society right in the ground.
Heidi Reeves
Shame on you CPS!!!!! Parents need to unite and take a stand against CPS.
Megan Lopez
This is bullshit , I support her , she’s doing what most parents don’t know how to these days….
Rosa Gibbs
Hey, CPS get a life.
Author B Haines
If CPS should be involved, it should be looking for the parents that did absolutely nothing and did not retrieve their children off the streets. Total bullshit, they told people that they wanted all these kids off the street, and thats exactly what this mom did. What DO they think, the words “Go home” means anything to those kids throwing rocks etc. Nope, it does not, but the way this mom did it. Well you can be sure not only did he get off the streets, but I’m sure her son learned a lesson that he is sure not to repeat. Once more CPS investigating in the wrong place and thats a big part of why all this happen. WTG CPS, One of those nailed it moments.
Sally Harris-Bohanna
I am 100 percent for what she did. She can’t correct her child but it’s ok for the police to kill them something she was trying to keep from happening.
Maureen Puma
As if CPS doesn’t have enough things to do – this is bullshit – seriously –
Yanira Michelle
This is why our youth today are out of control, CPS needs to mind their own business and start taking care of the children who are really being abused. This mother did exactly what she needed to do as a responsible mother.
Linda F Reed
Some one should investigate CPS in Baltimore. They are upset because she saved her son.
Dee Henry
Reallyyyyyyyyyy!!…my mother would say come and they would get ass whopping as well some nerves
Çlôud Lørd
Thats one of the problems with society today if they should stay the fuck out of ppl lifes n let us discipline our children maybe the world whould be a better place . They da kids are out of control now days I say its yall dam fault .
Paul Rizzo
Has to be bullshit. They think it is better for him to keep throwing rocks at the police.
Dawn Marie Strops
Oh my God. They need to leave this woman alone. I would have done the same thing. She is a true mother. If more parents did this we would have less of this craps that is going on right now.
Samantha Gay Apodaca
And that’s what’s wrong with youth today!
Sabrina Michelle Smith Moore
Leave that mother along and worry about you’ll law enforcement
Irene Colomb-francis
Wow now had something happen to him they would have wanted to know where is his parents.They need to stop that .
Khristina Wheeler
Omg get real ppl! That’s what wrong here! Not enough but whippings!
Harvey Barash
As someone being in the Protective Investigative Field for the past 30 years, that mother should be hailed and praised on what she did to stop her son from getting harmed due to the violence and not having to go through a Protective Services Investigation.
Mary Marshburn
Wow! CPS would be better served by handling the true abuse cases, not by taking legal action against a mother that is trying to save her child from being a criminal. The world stands back and says where are the parents of the looting/rioting juveniles; then when a parent is there to stop her child’s criminal behavior CPS takes legal action!
Kevin David
That’s a outrage. That kind wasn’t hurt. DCF needs to allow parents to parent. If we were able to discipline our children, they wouldn’t be such idiots.
Melissa Freeman Bain
I support this mother 100%. If the system would let the parents start correcting the kids and put spanking back into the school system like it use to be it wouldn’t be all the corruption that the young kids are doing nowdays. Parents are to scared to spank their children any more due to child protection getting involved. As the bible say spare the rod spoil the child. Now that I’m older I appreciate my parents for all the spanking I got because I deserved everyone that I got. Its sad to pick up a paper or see the news of a child taking someone else’s life , killing there parents or being involved in a school shooting. Yes I know that their are children that do get abused and that is heart breaking but being that he was doing what he was doing his mother stood up to him and letting him know that his behavior was not going to be tolerated. I believe all these violent games and all the violent shows should be banned. The mess that is on TV now days is horrible. The bible is full filling everyday.
Patricia Rodriguez
Really? This should be done on a daily basis! Maybe then we wouldn’t have this problem!!!!
Traci Killen Swingler
Thats a joke , there are kids out there that really need help geezz
Mickey Kinzer
So its ok for her son to thow bricks at the police. Butt she can’t discipline her son for doing wrong.
Chad Ivey
I seen this coming a mile away!!!that’s what’s wrong with America today parents have no rights to discipline their children!!!!
Bill Millar
Goes to show that if you are black, authorities will use any excuse to terrorize and intimidate you. BS!
Ruby Barron Rollenhagen
The cops would of done way worse but it wouldn’t be child abuse for them…bull crap I hope the entire state shows for this hearing…This is a MOM and I bet that boy won’t do this ever again…wake up people difference between abuse and firm discipline…Fight till the end momma because you did what you knew needed done..no abuse intended just some common sense gently placed up side his head…
Christopher Ryan
the world wonder why our kids runs wild, the system has handcuffed the responsible Adults
Karen Miller
Guess what!! Being chased through the house with the wooden spoon a few times by mom kept me from being a total screw up and made me a better person. Sometimes it’s what should be done. Kid deserved it and he’s going to be better for it!
Christopher Beaulieu
Better his mom then the cops. She probaly saved his life.
Jasmine Thompkins
Not right!!!!
This system is so messed up!
Keith Blevins
“JUST ENOUGH NEWS… Newslo is the first hybrid News/Satire platform on the web. “
Chenay Dubose
More parents need to be like this mother. Then maybe more of the kids that are in jail would be at home. If that was my baby I would have done the same thing
Dewayne Morris
Huge load of bullshit right there. They ought to be investigating all the moms that weren’t there.
Sonya Stamps
And they wonder why our kids are out of control. The mother is doing what she feels is right. Teaching her child to not loot and to respect the police and child services wants to go after her for being a great mom.
Kathy Vincent
They should be glad she was a caring Mom. What do they want for the cops to kill her son?
Appian Näsabit
Effing Child Nazis. You can bath your baby in salt acid or cut them to pieces, so long as they are inside of you… but don’t you dare smack some sense into your kid! Moral insanity.
Terri Bruce
Really are you kidding me … I support this mom you should take that investigation and shove it far up your ass
Cindy Cron Baker
CPS needs to clean up their act in every town and city in America! How many kids get starved and beaten to death because CPS did not get involved enough? Yet a mother that smacks a 16 yr old taller than her, in a crisis situation ON VIDEO in front of the world gets investigated? Ya’ll about a bunch of sorry azz losers in Baltimore CPS people!
Kishia Martinez
Keep your asses in your chairs, she trying to save her son… Where are you when there are real stories or you don’t pay attention and walk away, and babies are dead cause you did do your job.. This boy ain’t no baby and almost a grown man, if more parents did their job there would be less children in jail or dead… At least she’s trying
Mark Owens
the parents that allowed their children to riot are the ones that ought to be investigated.
Candace Cowan
Better to let him throw things at other people, hell they wouldn’t say anything if she was joining him!
Veronica Abigail Jordan-Hubble
Such a crock of shit, this is out broken system at work. A woman standing up and being a mother while all those other moms stayed home and didn’t do anything to make sure their kids were protected! CPS has let power to their head abd they need to be stopped!
Valerie Has Favor White
This Baltimore CPS investigation would be such a WASTE of taxpayer’s money. THIS IS SO STUPID! GO AND FIND THE REAL NEGLECTFUL PARENTS!!!!
Melanie Lynn Samuel
Are you kidding me?? Exactly why kids are they way they are today!
Anita Swatzell Austin
If more parents got involved with & knew what there kids was doing & who there friends was with. And quit teaching violence we wouldn’t have all this going on. Take control of your kids!!!!!
Wajet Roberts
The pedophiles want him. He’s a celebrity and underage. Some elite wants him ass their boyfriend for sex magic.
Deacon Robin D Jewell
CPS…it is not abuse & at the end of the day they interfere w/people that clearly have the utmost concern for the safety & welfare of their children. Check the absent parents that neglect & abuse their children vs a concerned parent trying to save her only son. He apparently is over the embrassment of being caught in the act of “throwing bricks” at police officers. I guess in the system’s eyes it’s okay, cops kill him vs his “Mother” slapping him into the reality of him being another victim by the hands of the police. “Police kill black 16yr old…cause his “mother” didn’t have control of him”…Your system is unwarranted & backwards in this case.
Harold Simmons
Satire site. Go to the story and click the ‘show facts’ button. The facts will turn yellow.The satire stays white.
Robin Robii Elmore
Who didn’t see this coming?!?! I’m sure they will eventually close the case but that would be after wasting taxpayer dollars.
Billy May
How ironic … She slaps her son to protect members of a government agency then she’s attacked by a government agency
David Tsai
Pure BS!
Ruth Nealey
Such idiots. Find someone who is really needing their interference. They just want news coverage.
Pam Scoggins
this is so stupid, come on CPS leave this mom alone, I support her, go save some babies or younger kids
Uhmbaya Laury
Knew it was coming she better get the gomefund going to pat for legal fees
Devetta Butler
I applaud her and im sure she would not changed what she did if had to do it all over again…I be damn if you do I’ll be damn if you don’t..God has her back!!!
Heather Wilson
I support her 1000000 times!
Jesse Maiolo
What a crock of shit. Not allowed to discipline your kids anymore because of these assholes
Richard Ranieri
If he had been roughed up by police would child services have stepped in then?? In my 37 years as a teacher, in two states, I’ve seen child services intervene when they shouldn’t have and do nothing while the child suffered or died. I have no respect for that agency, even tho they occasionally get it right. This is just Bullshit.
LaShawn Reid
You gotta be kidding me, dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t wow
Samantha Tucker Moore
This is BULLSHIT!!! If she DIDNT do what she did, her son might have gotten in trouble or worse!! LEAVE THAT MOMMA ALONE!!!!
Lauren Kelly Jackson
You know what? Sometimes children need a good smack every now and then. Lord knows it helped me get my ass straight growing up. Child protective services needs to go after the kids that come to school with bruises on their arms and legs and teachers do nothing about it. Go after them. This mom is just doing her job and loves her son enough to teach him right from wrong, regardless of what the conditions are. So in other words CPS, kindly FUCK OFF.
Kerri Lukaszyk
Are you kidding me?! When I was a kid our parents put the fear of God into us and whooped our asses if necessary to keep us in line. AND IT WORKED. These days, parents can’t discipline their children without fear of someone calling CPS or DYFS on them, and their kids are out there in gangs, getting in all sorts of trouble, many of them ending up in jail or dead…. I say that woman did the right thing, going after her child, knocking some sense into him and saving him from getting hurt or arrested. Kudos to her!!!
Rachel Dudley
This is a bunch of crap. Leave this mom alone go after the ones that are truely harming their children
Stephen Queen
Please. Post the email and phone number of the person who started the investigation so we can show her by mass email we approve of a mother saving her son by any means necessary !!! Let’s call and email her. By the thousands!!!!
Charlotte Hitner
I hope if CPS comes knocking on her door that she slaps the shit out of them too.
Debra Coyle
Such bullshit!!!
DeBorah Gilmore
CPS rather her child to get arrested or shot by popo.Then to go Hm with his mom alive .kk
Dawn Mount
A young man took a couple smacks from his mama but she saved him from his own stupidity & mob mentality. For this children’s services are involved? You’ve got to be kidding!!!
Steve Carle
Bound to happen. You can burn down a CVS and get away w/ it–but not discipline your kid the way you want?? #America
Undi Undi
They really have nothing better to do
Amy Howell
Hey CPS the kids who get the crap smacked out of them by their mommas are all at home being good citizens while the kids with parents who are afraid that the government will take their kids away are out rioting and destroying their towns! My boys know that I would smack them silly in this same situation and I will stand up behind Toya Graham as a mother with power!
Sheila Griffin
Somebody need to investigate the Child Protective Services…!!!
Lisa Maroney Borst
Insane
Goku Dua
Stupid people that workat the CPS office I you. What she did was discipline her son. There are mothers that do way worse and nothing happens to them but this lady may loose her kids. Get the fuck out of here that is why society is in trouble.
Telia Mills
It look like its ok for the police to kill young black men but a mother can’t discipline her children for doing wrong. Maybe CPS needs to investigate the police department as well.
Kim Bauman
I say leave her alone!
Queenie Bee
REALLY! SMH.
Ct Thomas
Cps loves to get involved, anything to show there in control especially when it comes to parents and children of color. If it had been there child they would said: its time for a time out hunny. Smdh
Jessica Lee
It’s stupid crap like this that keeps parents from punishing their kids properly and that is why our youth is so out of control now!!!
Jessica Lee
Are you kidding me!!!!! If they take her kids from her over this they are insane!!!!
Gregory Hickman
I wondered when the serpent would raise it’s self richeous head. These type of people help orchestrate the reasons for police brutality and reliance on welfare in the black community. One side prevents you from disciplining your children so they misbehave and the other side kills them because they lack dicipline. It’s very important we learn how to keep our household buisness inside the house. As you can see the government isn’t necessarily your friend
Stephy Smith
I believe in protecting children from abuse but discipline is not abuse and that is where cps got it wrong but it’s ok for them to put kids in abusive foster homes we as the people need to change the laws on cps because they r like a mob or cult and it is bs
Jason Mcquillin
Shit I think CPS should put her on payroll! More people need to get in her level! That’s being a parent not abuse
Jereme Wale
Wow. There is a preview of what is wrong with the world today. An almost adult boy going down the wrong path who needed an attitude adjustment and got one. He’s out of harms way and now the mother is a target. What a joke. Government overreach will be the downfall of this country. Maybe CPS should be out there in front of the police trying to talk these kids down since the parents aren’t allowed to control them.
Namon Thomas
They would have like for her to just stand there and watch her son die. Wow I would have beat my sons ass also . Im with the mother
Rob Rayburn
Let parents parent my mom used switches and grounded me when needed I turned out to not get in trouble and respect people kids today can do whatever the want and we wonder why things are so bad think they should leave the lady alone she is doing the best she can im sure
Pearl Williams
The way I see it, CAN of Baltimore is just trying to cover their backs in case something is said about the CAN of Baltimore. And is it that they show up in this issue, when they have put so many children with loveless foster parents and horrible things happen to them, yet they say it’s nothing we could do. Leave the mom alone, she don’t need you making a problem. She doing an excellent job by herself.
Samantha Burnsed
Are you serious??? That’s so dumb did whay she should havehe d
Drew Colley
That’s a joke and they wonder why kids these days have no manners or respect if parents are treated like this for disciplining there kids! Shocking
Pixie Evans
What? R u kidding me.
Tanicka Haslip Patterson
She should have just let him run crazy….OKAY not……but I said this was gona bite her in the butt as soon as they dont need this type of mom anymore CRAZY!
Patsy Buvoltz
I was waiting for this one. Satire or not, this is what CPS actually does. In the real world, she could lose all her kids over it. And so how do we know the whole thing wasn’t staged for our entertainment from the beginning? And to think just a couple days ago most people thought this was just great. See how easily everyone can be led?
Terresa Brisbane Jenkins
That’s sum bullshit that mother only was looking out for the sake of her child
Mary Ellen Killian
This is ridiculous. Our taxes at work
Charles Kline
If there was EVER a time to start a fundraiser for a cause, now would be the time for this mother. Terrible parenting is the reason people grow up to be awful people… It starts with our children and their children etc… Take a lesson. Where can I send this woman money??? I’d be happy to be the first one to hand over $100.
Crystal Riddle
This mother did her job and that’s what all the moms should have been doing
Joseph Hatt
I think her son got what he deserved and if mabey if this happened more often we would not have kids doing this
Evans Lowery III
She should have said “No honey, put tha rock down. Bullshit.
Ashley Cooper
really? i would have beat him allt he way home too. she took it easy on that kid. There are some things that children services need to keep their nose out of, and things they should be more concerned about, like that child who is in a drug house but they can’t seem to do anything about it. They’re picking on a mother who loves her son enough to go get him from a riot that could kill him or leave him with a record? ‘mon Baltimore, what is wrong with you????
Kishia Martinez
Every time a story breaks people or activist jumping out the bushes, where y’all been y’all ain’t been in them streets trying to help these children not do bad or throw bottles…. And this one lady I just want to comb her hair… GO BACK TO YOUR BUBBLE, THIS IS LIFE. YOU CAN’T HIT YOUR KIDS OR SPANK YOUR KIDS… BUT SHE WAS SAVED HERS
Kishia Martinez
Where is child protective services when the police is beating and killing the children?????????
Linda Conlin
Yep CPS has nothing better to do ??? NOT !! maybe it is time for “new directives” for their department also ??? yep, I think maybe the community will protest in front of their offices if they do an investigation on this mother….. Yep, maybe heads will roll in the CPS also, !!! yep, that is how “they – CPS” will learn also !!!
Nora Rice McPike
Seriously!!!!! Let the mom do her job, I would’ve done the same thing.
Jill Wheaton Lindsey
Puuuulease….Seriously? Too much governmental interference with parents disciplining their children these days! Thus, the reason they are so irresponsible. My children are NEVER too old or too big for an arse whoppin’ from their Mama!!
DJucee Cherries
That’s some bullshit!!! If anything she was protecting her child while giving him a 16 yo ass whooping not abusing him…. Wtf…. They need to be worried about the other parents who’s kids was out there…. At least she cares and loves her child enough to go out there and get his ass!!!!
Samantha Potter-Cox
That child and the rest that wetter protesting need their behinds whipped!!!
Nancy Gomez
THis system has issues, you mean to tell me, she saved a cops life, her sons life, by smacking him, yelling at him and that ABUSE???????????? so if she would had left her son continue to throw rocks a cop and kill him, that was okay? She didn’t raise a thug she is raising a human being,she is not letting him be a thug in the streets or disrespect cops for him to be another victirm. CHILDREN PROTECTI VE SERVICES, YOU BETTER CHECK YOURSELF AND YOUR POLICIES AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS TRULY CHILD ABUSE, YOU FREAKIN MORANS. ………….. WHY IS THE MAJOR OF BALTIMORE NOT STEPPING IN?
April Sullivan
Are you kidding!! Must be a slow day for them…..she did right by her son and they should just back off and leave her alone! I support her actions all the way!
Renee Summerlin Spangler
If this story is true…CPS politely go F yourself.
Gloria Jean Gomez-Vega
Oh hell no, CPS has no business in this case, mom did what HAD to be done, unlike CPS. Go and take away kids from familes that are truly abusing their kids, what does CPS prefer? For the cops to beat him or possibly kill him? We need a department called PBPS. POLICE BRUTALITY PROTECTION SERVICES and not run by cops like internal affairs
Carrie Sobek
Ohh my gosh leave her alone its because of CPS that moms feel they can’t punish their kids and why so much killing, robbing. And stealing is happening. Let the parents raise their children. I wish there was more moms to pull their kids out of the trouble a lot just laugh and say damn look what my kid did. She did what a good parent would and should do pull your child out of harms way no matter what. That was one less person out to riot..
Destiny Ochocki Harder
You’re joking right!! That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!!!! She doesn’t want him in jail or killed so she put him in his place! Now go investigate and possibly take away here kids because she knows how to control her kids!! I got my but whooped and I’m a good person because of it! I’m one of six!!!!!!
Tamica Monique
Full investigation on her but police officer can beat or kill a child & get paid time off. There is an difference between discipline & child abuse….this was not abuse.
Lcdo. Faisel Iglesias
Parece que hayvque regalarle lis hijos al estado.
Alpaccino Makaël Garnier
LEt them go eat them shit
She’s right
To do that
Do it today that way she won’t have to burry him tomorrow when the police shot him
Shelia Johnson
This is disgusting. Her son needed to get out and get out of that mess quickly. As I Mother I would have done that and if the kid was in need of a kick – I would have done that. I SUPPORT WHAT THAT MOTHER DID. LEAVE HER ALONE BALTIMORE CPS. SOMEBODY GIVE ME THAT NUMBER TO CPS AND AN EMAIL. I WORRY THEM CRAZY!!!
Sharon Brightwell
7 SHOUT B ASHAMED OF UR SELF CHILD PRO TEXT I’ve Services BULLSHIT OUR bullshit
Brandy Lynn
She was doing her job as MOTHER. Child Protection Services needs to go found the pill popping parents and alcoholic parents who’s not watching there kids…
Tammy Keys
I support this mother. She may have saved her child’s life. Oh that’s right Protective Services wants to see our children dead or in jail.
Kitty Honaker
Leave the mom alone She was protecting her son from the violence here in Baltimore ,Our streets our Jobs are all tore up this mom took action she did not want her son involved. Where the other parents not getting there children off the streets . These kids tore business up and burned building and rob stores a kids train from the mall and drinking liquor .When I was young my parent beat my ass and I learned a lot a value on Respect so I saying leave the mom alone she a HERO…
Bella Barbee
Just an excuse to take this lady kids. That’s what they good for. I guess it would have been better to let the police kill him or beat him up and let the video go viral so they can say well that black person deserved it. Or it was self defense on the police side! This is bs!
Kathy Farrell Grimm
CPS would you allow your children to do this? No!!
Tosha Wilson
That’s sad police can beat on a black man but their parents cant.
Tony Kelts
The Maryland Gov better stop this
Maribel Gonzalez Rodriguez
This is BS she did what any mother in they right mind would do they need to look for the parents of those out there acting a fool where was the parent and guardian to show them right smh CPS need to be educated on real child abuse those that need to be under CPS eye are the one killing they kids cause CPS are blind eye to them smh
David J Sutton
She did the right thing leave her alone! !!!
Gregory Adams
They need to sit their Azz down somewhere!!
Patti Gibeaut
Baltimore CPS –are you kidding me? Go after the families who DIDN’T come get their kids out of this riot. Where’s the common sense? I applaud her for getting her son out of this mess and removing him from a scene where he could have ended up in the hospital, in jail, or shot.
Laronda Moore-Hardy
STRAIGHT FOOLERY……LEAVE HER ALONE.
Margie A. Fox
But the officers who are dirty can without cause take his life….Really leave Ms. Graham alone.
Ruby Mitchell Blakey Garnett
This is crazy. Protective services need to work on those cases where children are abused a murderd. She did not beat and abuss her son. The child probably didnt feel any pain. It was her gesture of being a concerned parent. Protective services needs to work on as real case. ThAt child wAnt do that
again.
Isis Caro
Did no one else notice the buttons below the picture of the mother that say “hide facts” and “show facts”? They highlight which part of this story is true and which part is made up satire. Clearly we are all doomed if we believe every last thing we read on the internet without even thinking twice about it.
Marie Clark Jamieson
A parent should never beat their child. But in this case she did the right thing.
Sherri Garrett-Hough
Unbelievable !!! This woman should get an award. Abuse ?? Really ?? CPS should take care of children that are truly being abused instead of harassing a woman who has enough sense to dicipline her child who was involved in illegal activity. I thought she showed incredible restraint !!
Patricia McQuinn
They need to step back and get their stupid arsed noses out of where they do not belong in this case and let people teach their kids discipline and respect like we were taught as kids so the bad assed punks will stop their rioting in the streets. There is a reason so many punks don’t know how to behave too many parents are too afraid to discipline their children. Abuse is what thing but pulling your child out of a freaking riot and teaching him right from wrong is not abuse. I suppose no one at CPS gave a rats ass about the tv segment done with the boy in question where he admitted his Mom was right. She needs to sue the shit out of their system for even questioning something the majority of the country is praising.
Zach Pete Peters
REALLY? I HATE THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE DECISIONS IN THIS COUNTRY
Stephanie Harvey
It’s ok for him to disrespect the police but not for his mom to smack him!
Clarence Tate Collins
As I see it where was the mother and father, where they,maybe if they was out there to, all the other sh++++ would not have happy. just MAYBE!!!!! oh WHY WAS THE MOTHER AT THERIOT I THINK SHE SAID WENT (I look a the street and saw my son with a rock in his hand I lost IT
Ernie Yarbrough
CPS, while you are busy going after a mother who is actually PARENTING her son, there are probably hundreds of fathers and mothers neglecting their children…WITH YOUR PERMISSION!!! Get out of the parenting biz, CPS, and get back to actually protecting children.
Delaine Thompson
Stay out of it CPS. We need more parents like her. What is wrong with you people. Maybe we need Marilyn Moseley to investigate you. If more parents would do what she did there might be less crime.
Branda Golden Martin
Childrens services should be giving this mother a medal of honor for be aware what her child was doing and preventing him from any further criminal activity! Shame on our system for treating responsible parents this way and then crying about the disarray of our society.
Venita Bledsoe
This is so crazy she is so right. If not he will be a victim of trouble and jail.you did the right thing mom. I would of did the same thing if I was in your shoes.
Steve Ellis
Does CPS investigate mothers who smoke cigarettes around their kids???
Chanel Speaks
Bullshit
Cindy Morgan
-Knock Knock, who is it? CPS: we are investigating the video of you ‘beating’ your child. – Concerned parent: Yes, I smacked my much larger than me child SEVERAL TIMES because I AM THE PARENT! AND IF HE DIDNT KNOW BETTER, HE DOES NOW. Taking part in a RIOT will land my child in jail and if I do nothing, it shows him that I am ok with it. Would have it been more appropriate for me calmly walk up to my much larger than me child in the mist of a RIOT and say oh.. son.. you should take a politically correct approach to your views of the world. If smacking (not beating, no belt, no bat, no “wire hanger”) for this behavior sends me to jail, so be it. He has learned the lesson that I do not compromise on his future!

Society is so backwards these days. If many people had mothers like this these days we probably wouldn’t see a lot of the atrocities that we face now.
Tray Stinnett
CPS SHOULD GIVE THAT LADY AN AWARD!!!!!
Beth Ann
I support the mother… And CPS needs to go find all the other mothers and question them and find out why they let their children disrespect officers like that.
Norman Walker
Is this a joke? I’d smack the shit out of my kid too if they acted like a little punk thug.

Remember a time when parents were allowed to discipline their kids? Pepperidge Farms Remembers

They are over stepping their bounds, and she is fully within her rights under Maryland Law to use reasonable corpral punishment.http://family-law.lawyers.com/blogs/archives/29277-corporal-punishment-when-is-it-abuse.html
Olga Gomera
Why. He deserved it. That’s my son I smack him to. No big deal. She saved her son and he will grow respecting her and the law.
Simone Charles-Fraser
They prefer the cops to pick him up and kill him, than his momma to hit him public….a load of crap!
Kowkow Lawrence
This is bs no wonder our youth act like monster’s. I think she was right. Thers a differance between protesting. And acting like a hoodlums. Throwing rocks at officers
Carolyn Taylor

Kathy Litzenberger

Chrissy Seguñdo

Mike Daniels
Who didn’t see this crap coming?
Wendi Page-Sweet
Personally I would have done the same thing. But I would be pulling mine behind me by his hair after I got a switch and lite him up in public.
Jerri James Gomez
Baltimore Cps needs to pull a real abused file from the bottom of their big ass stacks an get to work on that instead of intervening on a mom trying to keep her son from getting arrested or put in jail!
Donna Tarnef Pitzorella
Any woman worth the title “mother” would have smacked the [email protected]&t out of her child for throwing rocks at the police, or any other destructive thing under the guise of protesting,, none of what we have seen is protesting! It is rioting looting and just not right,,
