A video which originally appeared on an Instagram story has now gone viral as people online recognize the "funny" behavior or the adult in the video as abusive.
In the video, a young boy is learning a popular TikTok dance alongside his sister.
A woman, watching the children from off-camera, can be heard saying:
"You don't do that s**t! F**k wrong with you? Gay a** b*tch!"
She then slaps the child.
The post was captioned "Had to slap blxxd this not it."
The internet couldn't believe anyone would find abusive behavior like this funny.
Twitter absolutely exploded with rage at the treatment this child received.
Not long after the video went viral, a woman claiming to be the child's godmother arrived on Twitter to let everyone know the abusive woman was not his mother.
According to the woman who claimed to be the godmother, the babysitter who slapped the young boy was planning on turning herself in to police.
The child's mother eventually spoke out, saying:
"I am his mother and I am not the one who was behind the camera. Everybody thinks it's me and was saying negative things about me, but I'm not worried about that. My son is fine and he is being loved right."
"I didn't find out what happened until two or three days after the video was made, when my son's godmother told me about this [going viral]...I didn't know what to do… I was not home at the time, my son never told me about this, but it is being handled, and the law is involved. It's something I've got to deal with."
At least it's now clear this young man will be loved no matter what songs he likes to dance to.
No one should be treated poorly because of someone else's prejudices.
Behavior like this babysitter's will no longer fly as long as the caring people of the world have something to say about it.
