@@peztopher7297 I rewatched it to double check; it is the same woman. Her dress just looks a little different as the sun is setting (same tat on left shoulder). She is beautiful inside and out 💕 Edit: romper not dress, my bad
The way he asks "Are you taking my mom to jail?" with concern, breaks my heart. Children are loyal, even towards undeserving parents. It's heartbreaking.
When you put it that way... Dang... That hits me in the gut... When he said that, I was like we "whew"... but then you put it that way and it broke my heart same with people who beat innocent dogs and they just hang in there no matter what too.
I saw a social worker discussing how she observed in her experience that the child who clings to and protects the parent the most usually are the most abused, that behavior comes from them wanting to be loved and accepted by the abusive parent. Hungry for love
@@ljl8764 I have a friend who along with his wife, have fostered several children, due in part to their inability to have their own. He & his wife are so gentle & kind, people you'd trust with anything from fine china to plutonium. Just calm, pleasant, generous people. I spoke with him about how the child they've had for years now is doing - and this kid was a handful, always getting kicked out of school, etc. He's doing ok, but barely - and I heard my friend say for the first time ever & hopefully the last time, that given the opportunity, he would "mouse drag to select all the text, then hit backspace" the kid's bio-parents. Pardon my metaphor - but he wasn't speaking metaphorically. The more love these kids get, the vulnerability goes against what's now instinct. Love isn't enough.
It honestly comes off more like she was getting even with the woman for hitting her as opposed to just simply out of the goodness of her heart for the child
As someone with a mom who was unfortunately pretty similar in some regards even if my story was also quite different than this little boy's... as an adult I still would be pretty scared of a person this chaotically yelling in public. But I still would do what I could to protect a little boy especially with the support of other adult friends or family or kind strangers also on my side in the situation. One on one n it would be hard to know how far I'd go before I had police backup though. I might be too scared to choose a 1 on 1 confrontation with that lady.
@@peggypasson8794 as an Iowan, I’ve discovered it’s most likely because the school systems do NOTHING about the bullying, harassment, and mistreatment, causing the kids to snap and say “this isn’t going to happen in front of me again.” I am one of these kids, my highschool, commonly known as su!c!de high because of this problem, does nothing but put up posters. I’ve told my school that the next time a bully goes unchecked around me or my friends I’M handling it MYSELF and guess what? They started doing something. Only two three years of getting on good terms with the principals and getting good grades before they decided to say ”we don’t want this kid to get in trouble, this is a good kid with potential” and actually start acting (and even taking my advice of harsher punishments like moving the bully to another class and after school detention instead of in school detention getting them out of class. I’m keeping this attitude when I get out of this h3llhole.
When the dude said “I’m not gonna let you disrespect no child in my face” it made me tear up. Im so thankful people like him step in to protect kids from abusive people
I've noticed the guy in white shirt trying to stop the guy from intervening but he stood up for the poor boy all the way till cops arrived. On behalf of us, parents, thank you Sir!
@@msriver11 I was with him until I saw him laughing in her face. Some people just stir stuff up. I thought it was good when he stepped in, he didn't know when to step out.
is it? Was it abuse? looked how impatient that black lady Donisha is at the end. Didn’t even want to wait 3 hours for him to be seen by the doctor. She kept her composure because she was caught on camera. The boy had ADHD, the mom mishandled him. That should served her well. But all charges were dropped
I love the fact that there was a whole community there to protect this innocent child. Everyone jumped in rather than saying it isn't their business or their place.
@shirleysp8176 it's not every single person's role to act, it needs to be filmed too, and many people myself included would only aggrevate the situation further. Relax bro.
ranting alone in the police car, she goes, “Brendon always has a way of making things worse!” in the most blame-shifting tone, you can definitely tell it’s her normal cope and defense mechanism. sick, and sad
I said that too. It broke my heart to see a child run to a stranger. Ive always been this way with abused kids in public. Caught a lot of slack for it. But do the right thing.
Did some quick research, saw a report saying she was charged with child endangerment and abuse and lost custody of BOTH of her kids. God bless the two who stepped in. If you noticed they had a kid of their own, and stepped in to protect a child that wasn’t there.
He could have walked on and let it happen and mind his own business, but he helped. 🥲 I'm so glad someone cared. That child doesn't deserve to have his mother treat him like that.
Typical.... Y'all always worried about black people tho.... Typical typical. Then when y'all do something wrong you try to single them out by saying "Karen".... Nooooo it's all of yas
tbh alot of parents do that including my own mother but technically they cant do anything because its supposed to cover things in the household not just the child
Yeah they're probably living it up on the $600 a month. I want to know their secret in that case because I'm autistic and every time I've applied for ssdi they're like "oh you can get a job that will work with your autism" but then they never have any suggestions for what job that is.
Abortion is a selfless and kind act. It’s a medical procedure that terminates a pregnancy. Discontinuing pregnancy when you shouldn’t be having a child should be applauded. It’s a mature choice. It’s also very personal. Maybe if this crazy abusive psycho of a woman had an abortion, a child would have been spared horrific abuse. Poor little Brenden’s soul could have been born into a different body, with different parents, with different circumstances, and could have had a beautiful life. The reality is…The more abortion and birth control are limited…the more you’re going to see situations like this. It’s sad. Quality over quantity of life.
Not really. It's pretty common. Strangers help kids pretty reliably. If it's two adults fighting, most strangers won't get involved because they don't know what is going on, but if a parent is abusing their kid in public like this, most people will do what they can to help the kid. You'll notice it wasn't 1 person stepping up, it was most of the people in the store. And then they called other strangers (the police) to come help as well.
Yes, lady in red took the first punch, as seen on the store footage, and still said she’d be a witness and testify for the boy. And still was able to record the whole mess effectively! 🙏🏼 Also I thought it was very touching when the cops arrived, to see all the children seated with her son and sharing snacks with him. The caring mentality of the parents clearly is picked up on in their kids. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
That child’s problem is NOT ADHD. His problem is that he lives with a mentally ill and abusive mother who should have lost custody of her son a long time ago!
Thank you!!! Everyone still saying “he’s difficult, has ‘something’ going on clearly” etc etc. It’s called trauma. Get that child in therapy, and love on him, and give him all the patience and support he never had and I guarantee he will transform. I’m not saying he doesn’t have ADHD, but you can’t see it here. I don’t know any child who wouldn’t act like him dealing with that as a mother. Even at the hospital, he needs someone to sit with him and chat and give him attention. He is clearly acting out because he’s been through it and wants someone to pay attention to him. I feel for him, and I bet if red dress woman who was with him at the gas station was there, she could manage him. When he was there with her kids he sat quietly with all the chaos going on. Because he was being cared for.
Time and time again ignorant abusive people think they can beat mental illness out of a child whiles they're the ones making everything 100 times worse. She's all memememe and the poor kid is this and that. Poor kid doesn't stand a chance with that woman. Clearly "mom" never wanted the poor kid and he will think thats his fault. That's how he's feeling. I know from experience
That mom's probably got an undiagnosed processing disability, too. I wonder if she'd make better choices if she was more aware of her own frustration. That quickness to anger could be bpd or a bpd like trait of asd. I am aware of my quickness to anger and frustration that swells when things are not perfect. I take my autistic behind away from a situation to calm down and walk or smoke it off. She could probably get use from walking that anger off. Getting the blood flowing helps unblock that mind. She could be npd, though. If the dad passed the disability genetically, he might have been manipulated and easily controlled by a npd partner. That gaslighting she attempts is familiar to red flags I've dated.
Kids from abusive/toxic households who experience stuff like that regularly just think it's normal and don't realize that other parents don't do that stuff too, coming from personal experience.
My mom is like this mom, so I get it. Its just very sad to see it happening to another child. In childhood I remember begging my mom to hug me after she slapped the fuck out of me in a fit of rage. I was 9. All i did was ask her a question. Dont remember the question but ai remember her snapping in anger and slapping the absolute shit out of me.
now that he's had a little taste of the outside world, like in school, it's likely he knows he did not deserve any of that. Unfortunately, due to her blaming him and willing to give him up, he's probably absorbed minor details the grownups did not pick up on, and it will take a lifetime for someone to break through to him that THIS incident and him getting separated from his mom, is NOT his fault, if they even can :(
If you are a loving Mom OR a Dad, you won't let anyone hurt a child, much less let it happen in the future if you have the means to stop it. Just normal kindness from normal parents. Not making it less important, but it should be natural, not exceptionnal.
@@Taking_Dawn_Archives No no of course I get it, but I know some parents who wouldn’t get involved just for the safety of them and their own kids, you know bystander effect.
@Michellehypocrisy the child has a disability. Her violence towards not only a vulnerable person but a vulnerable person who happens to be her son is disgusting.
As soon as she said to the officer in the back of the car "He's due for his medication when we get back home" remained me of the thriller movie "Run" where a young girl named Chloe Sherman is made to believe that she is extremely sick by her mother and take's pills then aren't meant for her.
if she's slamming him down in public, it can only be 10x worse at home. he needs to be taken away from her custody immediately, the kid's life is literally in danger
The most horrifying thing (which is saying A LOT after watching this) is her words, “I’ve got a worker! And he’s taught me *how I dealt with it!* “. Who are these workers she keeps talking about? How are these “people” the professional caretakers of children? Anyone that’s worked with that child and saw nothing wrong with how he lives NEEDS to be investigated. Oh, that and her constantly blaming any escalation on her 9 year-old struggling with mental disorders.
@@-jessie-49It's almost like slamming children into things isn't excusable (hint: it's not). She could have called for help, but she chose to be abusive.
@@valafarcedricsmith Having a child with mental health issues can be extremely challenging. You're right about her needing to seek help if she can't handle it. However it's not an easy task to put oneself in her boots to understand why she did what she did. Everyone has his limits (even you). The first step is to know them.
Both my parents and i have been mandated reporters f9r a few reasons in the past and learned a lot about how cps and all that stuff works and it is heartbreaking what they will let a child go through before they remove them from a family. They will leave a kid in a home sleeping on a floor with no pillow only having a bowl of cheerios for food and if the kid isnt covered in injuries or starving to death theyll leave the kid in the home. It is heartbreaking the cruelty some kids have to go through in order to be saved from abusive homes.
The fact those folks stopped their whole day to give comfort and normalcy to this kid while cops sorted everything out is pretty inspiring. The world ain’t so bad all the time.
That woman was fantastic for shielding the kid with her body. Massive props to the guy for instantly having her back and placing himself between him and her when Rejina started to get closer. "You touch her, you touch me too." Absolute W of a man.
@@ColletteKelly I love that he took her down. He seemed to be the first to step in for the child, then he followed through and protected his family while they joined him in the fight. This couple were so amazing to watch.
Ohhh please if that woman in the red was really worried about the kid why she ran after the fat white woman instead of attending the child that was thrown on the floor ? She didn’t even care look back or check up on him right away she put her hands on her first yea she hit the kid but hold the kid until the cops get there why put ur hands on her if ur so worried about the kid ??
Naw dey juss noisey doin it 4 attention not da kindness of der heart, dude in white even try 2 set in but blacc dude tell him 2 bak up …like dey want all attention on dem
My dad does this. He’s a huge dude and has used his threat to kick ass to stop people from mistreating service workers etc 😅 not the most orthodox method but it makes a change
@@courtneybowman1915 There's been no change. The kid is back with the mom and she's angrier than ever. She's going to channel the rage from the people who accosted her to the kid.
I am SO glad people speak up about child abuse more often these days. This kind of behavior should have never been tolerated. The people who saved that boy are angels.
Yooo I made a joke literally like 2 days ago about how people say standing on business? I said give it like 2 months before it's somthing stupider than that I swear to GAWD I said 10 flat!!! Thank you 😊
A round of applause for the MAN that stood up and protected that kid....and then stood in front of the woman and protected her as she protected the child.....you sir, are one in a million!!!!
That woman in red is amazing. The fact the little boy trusted a complete stranger to hide behind over his own mother speaks volumes. But for that lady to continue to stand in front and protect him, even with the mother getting into her face, what an incredible woman. Just shows there are still genuinely caring people in this world. Thank god for those bystanders. This woman deserves to never have a child in her custody again. Hope they threw away the key.
It looked like she hit mom first. After a second look, she hit mom twice. Are you guys blind. She instigated the already crazy mom even more. She is a legend.....what BS.
@@peachyrider9987 so if you see a child being abused you would stay quiet? That alone makes her the aggressor.....and there's video all over the place, mom was out of control and she got handled.
Bless that family and community for intervening. The way that boy hugged the woman in red and let her carry him knowing he wasn’t in danger with her breaks my heart. That mom is abusive and cruel. The mom claiming he has DMDD was an ENORMOUS red flag tbh. DMDD is a hotly contested diagnosis of children, as it often is a way to “explain away” symptoms of abuse. I highly doubt this child has that given what I have just witnessed. I hope Brandin is safe now, and his mother is kept away.
I'm autistic so I know sometimes it's hard, but I also know that an adult screaming at me will just make me more upset. So it is indeed the parent who makes things worse. I mean just like with any kid, just give him the chance to calm down instead of THROWING him. Lady should've said "Okay Brendin we're going into the QuikTrip to buy XYZ. That's all we're getting. It should only take about 5 minutes." So they guy in there, buy XYZ, Brendin might start getting upset, so she says "Now Brendin I told you all we were gonna buy is XYZ. Why don't you take some deep breaths for me?"
I'm willing to bet that most of his behavior problems are a result of her antagonistic parenting style. When a autistic person/child gets overwhelmed the last thing you want to is upset them even more. All those threats were only making things worse.
It definitely shows she needs help as well. This is not how we treat any child, yours or not, especially a special needs child. I hope she can get counseling and treatment while serving her sentence.
yeah especially since he is a kid, he doesnt know he has an issue or problem, he is just being himself. Hopefully he gets proper care and the mother takes some ownership of her own issues. Raising a kid is rough, especially one with some mental or physical disability, but it was your choice to bring them into the world.
The kid that was hugging the woman with the black shirt. She even motioned the boy to come to her, she hugged him, she reassured everything will be ok. She is more capable of being a better person and a mother. Her Empathy gives her a golden heart, hope she adopted him.
That woman standing in front of him and protecting him from his mom: he needed that. I can’t imagine the validation he felt, finally having someone stand up for him for things he probably never realized were wrong, or was never told were not okay. Good on that couple for stepping in like they did.
It's actually really nice to see a community come together to help that kid and deal with this difficult situation. Too often stuff like this can get ignored, and inaction allows things to get much worse. I have a lot of respect for those who stepped up and did the right thing. These are some good people, and I wish them and the kid the best.
And those customers? You’re the right type of folk. You’re the people we need more of. You saw a child in danger and you put yourself at risk. You’re amazing.
I love that that girl in the red dress (and her fiancé) said “for him I will” go to court to press charges. Standing up for the innocent is what we need to do as a society. ❤
For that person who’s pressing charges and vowed to testify with, “Yeah, for him? I most definitely will”.. THANK YOU. We need more people like this. We need community.
Well, it turns out that there's an evil community out there. We can do all we can, but without support from the District Attorneys on charging perps without negotiating a lower charge, and a powerful judgement from the judges who currently capitulate to lower sentences to make the charges stick easier. It's time for America to "Nut Up Or Shut Up."
Shout out to Danesha. She came immediately to help and take care of the kid. She knows how difficult the situation would be but still showed up anyway. She seems like a great person.
@@Agentsex they have a point tho, if you've ever walked into a place where the residents call it "the hood" you should know that you will have a challenge to find any actual "ladies" there
When my husband was a teen, he went through a lot of mental health struggles. During a rage blackout, he threw something at his mother. His stepdad pinned him against a wall and said, “first off, that’s my wife. Don’t you ever threaten my wife. Second of all, that’s your mother”. Husband had a lot of respect for his late stepfather, and he especially respected him for putting his mother first. His stepfather was a very chill dude, a buddhist, but would not tolerate his wife being disrespected
I got some respect for the girl in the red dress and her boyfriend the way she was holding the kid behind her back and protecting him is just the sweetest thing that I’ve seen.
Alot perhaps but that's not why he's screaming, kid has problems he's just scream overall all the time we all saw that here in the video him still screaming towards the end
I absolutely love that the community came together to protect Brendin. This is a beautiful community and people, thank you to everyone that stood up for this baby boy
I have ADHD and it's absolutely no excuse. It does paint a better picture of him being difficult but that doesn't give her the right to manhandle the poor child.
Me too. Lots of kids have behavioral or psychological problems, and you STILL never manhandle them the way she did. She’s thinks she’s the victim here, not just of the bystanders but of her _son!_
I have ADHD and all it takes is a rational conversation to redirect me. I’ve been able to be parented smooth like this since I was the kid’s age- no behavioral issues whatsoever. This lady is insane and is using disability as an excuse to treat her child as subhuman. Disgusting.
CPS/DHS apprehend kids first & ask questions later where i’m from. kids get wrongfully taken ALL. THE. TIME. this kid would’ve been in custody immediately if this happened, or at least a worker sent & care plan established. mom would not have gotten him without a long battle and trainings, etc. (even if she hadn’t gone to jail like she luckily did here. if she would’ve been released, he would’ve been home with her.. these people really did save him by intervening, recording evidence, staying there, etc etc etc.)
Thank goodness for the lovely caring customers, they took protective charge of the little boy and didn’t just watch and walk off. Well done and thank you ❤
What the mom doesn't understand is that regardless if the bystanders were familiar with their family history or not, they have the right to step in and defend the child from the physical abuse.
@@superstill8820 i agree but the way the dude stepped in was pathetic the black couple did it for internet point re watch and look at the way they act its painful to watch.
@@Long-HorseNot seeing it, looks like they went to check on him and didn't like seeing a screaming kid being hoisted in the air. Only people who looked like they wanted anything out of it were a couple of young people jumping up and down with their phones after the couple got hit by the mom. But they weren't involved.
She also doesn’t seem to understand his disabilities aren’t a free pass to abuse him. I kind of got annoyed how hard they harped on him being a difficult child at first bc the clips of him in the store and waiting outside with the other families he seemed like a little boy who wants his mom to play/pay attention to him (by having her chase him around) and craves socialization (by the way he immediately clung to the other people by physically holding onto some of them especially the woman in red and how he just wanted to play and be a kid outside when he literally just got beat). It was clear he has some diagnosis which would be tough for a competent parent to handle, but his mom also seemed to have some issues so she is already less equipped then most. I’m glad she has workers but all that shows is that they’ve had issues in the past and are in the system now. So I’m on the fence on what’s best for the boy in this one. It’s clear he loves his mom and doesn’t understand the severity of the situation at all but do you educate and monitor them for awhile and they reunite or do you just lock her up and put him in a foster home? There’s pros and cons on both sides and I really would hate to be the person making such a hard choice. I just hope whatever the outcome they’re both doing well. That is no way to live as a parent and no way to be treated as a child. She won’t ever take accountability if she doesn’t admit what she did wrong.
Yeah, she’s “used to” overpowering that innocent little child in her care ALL THE TIME at home. She messed up bringing that behavior into public where other people could see and respond. What a mixed blessing, so sad that the kid is dealing with this every day but finally he’s vindicated by all this footage of the abuse. And if he really IS on the spectrum like she said, he would have even more difficulty than the average child speaking out and asking for help…
@@chilloften she’s playing a game of pure projection and blame. Why is she surprised that he throws tantrums when she has literally never modeled anything better? Guess what?! Kids learn through observation. The problem is her.
@@elizabethzacharias1757also, as an autistic- if I had to exist in Stroad Sensory Hell, USA, with that neanderthal for a mother, I wager I'd probably have my fair share of meltdowns too...
As a mother with an autistic son, you are the worst, shouldn't be a mother to a sweet little boy . How dare you treat and bully a child who can't defend himself
He probably believes that everyone treats their children the same, or worse than his mother treats him. He was likely told by his mom that his life would be even more horrible if she was arrested, or if he had to live with a foster family. The mother likely manipulated her son the same way she attempted to manipulate the police to get out of trouble and avoid responsibility for her actions.
Props to the woman in the red!!! Her motherly instinct kicked in and went straight to protecting that child! Even the kid trusted her more than the cops!
Yeah but it's just being human. I'm not a mother nor have I ever wanted to be one but I'd have done the exact same thing. A woman doesn't have to have "motherly instincts" in order to be a decent person. I don't hear people saying that the guy has "fatherly instincts". Maybe they're both just nice, normal people. We need to raise the bar when just saving a kid from being beaten is somehow being a hero. It's not.
@@gaylebynumcardosa7034I agree that it is a normal human instinct for some to step up and save others. And that is not new, history shows that people allow this kind of behaviour as ''It was none of my business'' far too often.
He's nine, he's likely been taught that police are to be respected, both in children's programming and school. Autistic children are very compliant with kindly authority figures, esp those that are new to them and give off a gentle presence. They were quiet and talked to him kindly, and it still took a few tries, because he was recovering, not from a TANTRUM, but an AUTISTIC MELTDOWN.
They are manipulative he wanted something in the store and mom wouldn't give it to him maybe a stranger would an I think he got his way on that one. Judging is so easy if you are not that person
@@naomiashcraft8080 at 19:50 the mom body slams him onto the floor. In a public place. In front of a stranger. Could you imagine what she does to him in private? That kid was running for a reason 🥴
if he’s ever placed back in her care the abuse will escalate as she blames him for this happening, blames the strangers for not knowing anything ab her son but trying to help, she really feels like everything evil she does to him is what he deserves. she’s a dangerous person & it’s sad but if family or a trusted adult can’t have custody he will have to be in foster care & that’s another story on it’s own, i just really hope he is placed somewhere safe where she won’t be allowed, it’s gonna be hard for the poor baby either way it goes bc he doesn’t understand & still loves him mom he even asked them not to take her to jail, while she’s in the car berating him for causing this as if he did anything wrong, ugh it’s so sad.
The girl in the red dress in the first video is an actual queen what got me was when she said “for that little kid for him I most definitely will” like what a angel
The way she IMMEDIATELY stepped in as soon as Regina threw that poor kid made me happy; so many children are abused and need a respectable adult like her and her man did! They stood up for a child who could not stand up for themselves and I have so much respect for both of them. ❤
Yeah kids that age are good in that way. I can't take my 6 year old anywhere without her making a best friend lol and the amount of kids she ends up bringing home I counted ten the other day and one of them didn't even talk so I've no clue how that worked but I just pour juice and get the snacks so what do I know.
That poor kid. He was willing to stay with complete strangers rather than go with his own mother, that really says something. Bless those 2 folks who intervene
@oogieboogie5941what gets me is if she could do all that in front of all those people and on camera in a public place imagine what she does to him behind closed doors when nobody is looking that's what gives me the chills
The entire group of people protecting the child and cooperating with law enforcement for the child... they are an amazing group of people and a blessing to their community.
The first lady had it right. If she does that to him in public, imagine what she does to him in private. No matter what, you don't pick a child up by the neck. She should never be trusted with a child, and if he has "workers" they should all be fired because they're not doing their job and reporting. Wow, being thrown down , but not injured, doesn't warrant removal from the home. What kind of laws do we have in this country that protect our kids??? And this kid has obviously been through this before. My heart breaks for this little boy. ZERO sympathy for the mom. And a HUGE KUDOS for the couple who defended that child. He is definitely difficult.
I can speak on Iowa's DHS office from personal experience. I was a ward of the state, thrown away into their custody when I was 9. My first worker was utterly useless AF, and would drink coffee with my abuser while ignoring me completely. Family court was equally useless, as they took recommendations from DHS as gospel, even when workers were lying, corrupt, or working from a personal bias with nothing resembling evidence of wrongdoing. I was placed back in that abusive house repeatedly when I wasn't being shuttled off to other facilities to be warehoused or "fixed" by so-called child psychology experts. I was pumped full of prescription drugs like some experimental rat for nine years, which wreaked merry havoc with my brain chemistry and physical health. Fast forward to today. DHS office is still utterly useless. My local office refuses to answer their phones, the state office has their phone system set up to reject anybody dumb enough to try calling them, and getting information from some of the horrible people working at these offices is like pulling crocodile teeth with a pair of marshmallows. I personally witnessed a guy who was begging for help from a front desk worker, telling her how he had filed all his paperwork on time yet was still removed from his prescription assistance. He informed the worker without his medication he would die, and he even had paperwork proving that claim, yet all the worker said was, "That's not my problem." That poor boy Brenden has no chance.
He does seem to be a very difficult child, but look how much patience and kindness Donesha showed him. None of the ways that psycho ‘mother’ dealt with his behavior was going to work. I have a child with ADHD and ODD and it pissed me off to no end to watch that pos use his ADHD as an excuse to abuse him and I can guarantee you that none of those methods she tried (yelling and cussing at him from across the store and then threatening him with the police… no wonder he didn’t wanna go with them) were taught to her by any professional. She has no idea how to manage any of his behaviors… or she’s just too lazy to bother trying to do things properly.
I've witnessed the same thing once. I was getting groceries for my mother, waiting for my turn, suddenly we heard little girls crying, their dad screaming as loud as he was capable of. He was pulling one by the air and beating the other one who was laying on the flood. They we're probably around 5 ou 6 years old. All the staff came to the rescue but he managed to get out with his daughters quicker. They followed him while calling the cops, giving them his licence plate. I really hope they found him, because if he was capable of that in a public place, it was 100% worse at home.
Same. Ive seen it several times. The courts in this country think that being the child's mother automatically makes a woman fit to raise the child...even if the woman barely classifies as human
Had my fair share with DCS (ik they are technically different) and they suck. My dad has abused me multiple times and the most they would do is send him to a zoom class. He had abused me once before I got them involved, and to no surprise he did it once after. Now, he is trying to be able to have full access to my 2 younger sisters (via divorce from my mom, through shared custody) and because he filed, I can't testify against him. Safe to say, they suck.
Usually it's not DHS making that decision it's the courts. DHS can't remove without enough cause. I used to work for DHS and the judge would have our head on a platter if we removed a child and they didn't deem it worthy enough. Often we would beg to not let a child return home without a safety plan in place but the judge would just ignore us and send the child home. Of course we would end up getting another call about them being abused again and have to retraumatize the child with another removal. People don't see the behind the scenes of DHS. It's the judge and court system who ultimately decides what children get removed or not and decides if they return home and when.
Couple years ago I had to speak with my states DHS about a report I made and was told that their goal is never to take the kids and if there is any type of Plan B , they don’t remove the kid. Example: parents are drug addicts,but if there is a relative that picks the kids up or can be called to step in to watch them while parents are getting high; that’s reason enough to NOT remove the kids.
She's not well herself, definitely got some screws loose. There is some evilness going on there. That poor child of what he has gone through up until his age now. This was not a one time deal. Probably been abused from birth.
The woman in the red dress is an absolute warrior. Never seen anyone step up like she did to protect a child from harm. Her partner too - such a man. I aspire to be like both of them. Fierce, on the side of good, protectors and defenders of children and the vulnerable. The way the children were hanging out with the little boy, just being children, was just wonderful. Bless.
That man saying "You ain't going to disrespect a child in front of me" And "You touch her,you touch me"(prolly his wife or girlfriend) IS THE MOST GREEN FLAG ON EARTH. If he decides to have kids he is going to be a great father and partner.
if i’m not mistaken it looks like him and his partner do have a few kids together in the footage? which is sweet he seems like what a real father. none of that bullshit abuse.
“Brenden has a habit of making everything worse” blaming her abuse on her child astonishes me. She’s talking in the police car knowing full well that she’s being recorded and wants to seem innocent. Disgusting.
Just want to say I really appreciate whoever does the subtitles for EWU. As someone who used to do subtitles, they always do stellar work. I've seen other crime videos with subtitles that make no sense at all/aren't what the person said. EWU is very friendly to the hard of hearing / audio processing impaired!
That’s sadly because most videos and subtitles these days are likely AI generated. You can tell EWU does incredible production work all the way around!
@@Link-dh3vgyou're 100% correct. Most every video had AI generated subtitles and it's not necessarily the creators fault as RUclips does this automatically now for some reason. It was something they came up with within the past 6 months when they did a huge overhaul update to the site , in their words, "fix a glaring issue with subtitles" when there was not a huge issue to begin with when the creator did them theirselves. RUclips constantly changing things that had nothing wrong to begin with... It's a problem that RUclips cannot seem to wrap their minds around that they are the problem... Just like with the ad-pocalypse back in 2019, there was no problem with the content as kids 12 and under are not suppose to be on the site to begin with but for some reason they felt the need to censor things as if the content is a bad influence on these said children that are not suppose to be on the site to begin with... It's a bunch of bull💩 and it's gotten so bad that you cannot cuss within the first like 3-5 minutes or your video will be age restricted and certain things such as pictures or clips of videos automatically gets your video age restricted...
This man in the white cap and sunglasses and lady in the red track suit are real life heroes. Watching people naturally react like they did gives me faith in humanity.
Did you see the news interview with that one? The account given was something like "I said to her 'unhand him!'" - it's very dramatic, like Shakespeare😂
This is so sad. I feel for both mom and son. You can tell she is in no condition to care for that child. I hope they find the help they desperately need.
Far too often people think domestic issues (violence) is not their business or problem and end up staying out of it. SO grateful to see alllllll of these people think otherwise and step up for that child. Amazing and inspiring
that’s why she said it’s my kid mind your business, these were real americans who stepped in not new americans who don’t give a fuck and would say she’s within her rights
@nnnjh8372 when it comes to what those two did, absolutely yes. But I hope I’m wrong and you’re right. Of course many/most would call the cops, but to physically intervene in that way and be assertive while also protecting the child and taking that heat from the mother is very rare. It was way easier for the rest to get involved one the two heroes set the example and lead, but it was way easier at that point.
That woman who stepped in to help, pressed charges, stayed with the kid and helped get him into the police car, she is a saint. God bless that woman.
I got a tear in my eye when she put herself between the “mother” and the kid.
I think those are two different people.

The way he asks "Are you taking my mom to jail?" with concern, breaks my heart. Children are loyal, even towards undeserving parents. It's heartbreaking.
When you put it that way... Dang... That hits me in the gut... When he said that, I was like we "whew"... but then you put it that way and it broke my heart
same with people who beat innocent dogs and they just hang in there no matter what too.
It's because they have nothing else, they have no one else to turn to.
I saw a social worker discussing how she observed in her experience that the child who clings to and protects the parent the most usually are the most abused, that behavior comes from them wanting to be loved and accepted by the abusive parent. Hungry for love
@@ljl8764 I have a friend who along with his wife, have fostered several children, due in part to their inability to have their own. He & his wife are so gentle & kind, people you'd trust with anything from fine china to plutonium. Just calm, pleasant, generous people. I spoke with him about how the child they've had for years now is doing - and this kid was a handful, always getting kicked out of school, etc. He's doing ok, but barely - and I heard my friend say for the first time ever & hopefully the last time, that given the opportunity, he would "mouse drag to select all the text, then hit backspace" the kid's bio-parents. Pardon my metaphor - but he wasn't speaking metaphorically. The more love these kids get, the vulnerability goes against what's now instinct. Love isn't enough.
That kid was pretty poorly behaved. Dare I say bad.
"Yeah I wanna press charges. Hell yeah I'll go to court for that kid"
Protect this lady at all costs
I teared up when I heard her say that!! She and her fiance [I believe they said] are heros!!
Seriously, she's awesome.
So true 💯 she’s a perfect example of.. if you see something, say something. ALL of them that stepped in were awesome!
It honestly comes off more like she was getting even with the woman for hitting her as opposed to just simply out of the goodness of her heart for the child
I totally respected that too❤
“Cause thats my lady, aint nobody gonna just attack my lady”
Real man right there. Applause for all of these people who jumped in.
What time again?
truly that couple sounds incredibly healthy about their relationship and very mature in their perspective of the world. i appreciate them
That made me smile.
she's so used to abusing a child she thinks that yelling and screaming at adult is going to scare them away
Fr tho
Just sad
At least the cops got her instead of someone who go full Red Hood on her
As someone with a mom who was unfortunately pretty similar in some regards even if my story was also quite different than this little boy's... as an adult I still would be pretty scared of a person this chaotically yelling in public. But I still would do what I could to protect a little boy especially with the support of other adult friends or family or kind strangers also on my side in the situation. One on one n it would be hard to know how far I'd go before I had police backup though. I might be too scared to choose a 1 on 1 confrontation with that lady.
Americans mind set
"You ain't going to disrespect no child in front of me"

When your son feels completely safe behind a total stranger you probably aren’t fit to be a parent.
@@peggypasson8794 as an Iowan, I’ve discovered it’s most likely because the school systems do NOTHING about the bullying, harassment, and mistreatment, causing the kids to snap and say “this isn’t going to happen in front of me again.” I am one of these kids, my highschool, commonly known as su!c!de high because of this problem, does nothing but put up posters. I’ve told my school that the next time a bully goes unchecked around me or my friends I’M handling it MYSELF and guess what? They started doing something. Only two three years of getting on good terms with the principals and getting good grades before they decided to say ”we don’t want this kid to get in trouble, this is a good kid with potential” and actually start acting (and even taking my advice of harsher punishments like moving the bully to another class and after school detention instead of in school detention getting them out of class.

Can you imagine what she was doing to him behind closed doors 😢
is it? Was it abuse? looked how impatient that black lady Donisha is at the end. Didn’t even want to wait 3 hours for him to be seen by the doctor. She kept her composure because she was caught on camera.
The boy had ADHD, the mom mishandled him. That should served her well. But all charges were dropped
I love the fact that there was a whole community there to protect this innocent child. Everyone jumped in rather than saying it isn't their business or their place.

Oh absolutely. There's SO many "autism moms" that act like theyre a saint because they do the bare minimum or even less
Too common and no real oversight....broken system.

Yeah they're probably living it up on the $600 a month. I want to know their secret in that case because I'm autistic and every time I've applied for ssdi they're like "oh you can get a job that will work with your autism" but then they never have any suggestions for what job that is.
It's SO RARE that ANYONE stands up for a child being abused in public. This man and his wife/girl .....they're legit angels
Where are all these folks when thousands of babies are aborted…likely in their own neighborhoods? Or is it a convenience thing?
@@mudderjen abortion is a medical procedure that has nothing to do with this situation. living breathing children are different than clumps of cells.
Abortion is a selfless and kind act. It’s a medical procedure that terminates a pregnancy. Discontinuing pregnancy when you shouldn’t be having a child should be applauded. It’s a mature choice. It’s also very personal.
Maybe if this crazy abusive psycho of a woman had an abortion, a child would have been spared horrific abuse. Poor little Brenden’s soul could have been born into a different body, with different parents, with different circumstances, and could have had a beautiful life.
The reality is…The more abortion and birth control are limited…the more you’re going to see situations like this. It’s sad. Quality over quantity of life.
Not really. It's pretty common. Strangers help kids pretty reliably. If it's two adults fighting, most strangers won't get involved because they don't know what is going on, but if a parent is abusing their kid in public like this, most people will do what they can to help the kid. You'll notice it wasn't 1 person stepping up, it was most of the people in the store. And then they called other strangers (the police) to come help as well.
@@mudderjen Imagine being this crazy
"For that kid, I'll definitely do it"

I was so happy to hear that she was pressing charges for the kid and her and not just her she is an amazing human being
Yes, lady in red took the first punch, as seen on the store footage, and still said she’d be a witness and testify for the boy. And still was able to record the whole mess effectively! 🙏🏼
Also I thought it was very touching when the cops arrived, to see all the children seated with her son and sharing snacks with him. The caring mentality of the parents clearly is picked up on in their kids. 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
A subpoena will work just as well.
Mad respect!
Agreed 💯!!
The way the officer shut the car door in the middle of her rambling was so satisfying
@@claire_7681 I love when they do that lol
That child’s problem is NOT ADHD. His problem is that he lives with a mentally ill and abusive mother who should have lost custody of her son a long time ago!
Thank you!!! Everyone still saying “he’s difficult, has ‘something’ going on clearly” etc etc.
It’s called trauma. Get that child in therapy, and love on him, and give him all the patience and support he never had and I guarantee he will transform. I’m not saying he doesn’t have ADHD, but you can’t see it here. I don’t know any child who wouldn’t act like him dealing with that as a mother.
Even at the hospital, he needs someone to sit with him and chat and give him attention. He is clearly acting out because he’s been through it and wants someone to pay attention to him. I feel for him, and I bet if red dress woman who was with him at the gas station was there, she could manage him. When he was there with her kids he sat quietly with all the chaos going on. Because he was being cared for.
Absolutely!
Time and time again ignorant abusive people think they can beat mental illness out of a child whiles they're the ones making everything 100 times worse. She's all memememe and the poor kid is this and that. Poor kid doesn't stand a chance with that woman. Clearly "mom" never wanted the poor kid and he will think thats his fault. That's how he's feeling. I know from experience
That mom's probably got an undiagnosed processing disability, too. I wonder if she'd make better choices if she was more aware of her own frustration. That quickness to anger could be bpd or a bpd like trait of asd.
I am aware of my quickness to anger and frustration that swells when things are not perfect. I take my autistic behind away from a situation to calm down and walk or smoke it off. She could probably get use from walking that anger off. Getting the blood flowing helps unblock that mind.
She could be npd, though. If the dad passed the disability genetically, he might have been manipulated and easily controlled by a npd partner. That gaslighting she attempts is familiar to red flags I've dated.
ADHD can develop as a response to trauma, she made the poor boy so afraid and frightened all the time his brain developed an extreme coping mechanism
The saddest part for me is the child doesnt understand that that isn't okay for his mom to do that to him.
Calling and crying for his mother after being thrown down is fucking sad man
Kids from abusive/toxic households who experience stuff like that regularly just think it's normal and don't realize that other parents don't do that stuff too, coming from personal experience.
My mom is like this mom, so I get it. Its just very sad to see it happening to another child. In childhood I remember begging my mom to hug me after she slapped the fuck out of me in a fit of rage. I was 9. All i did was ask her a question. Dont remember the question but ai remember her snapping in anger and slapping the absolute shit out of me.
@@bossreims3908 I am so sorry.
now that he's had a little taste of the outside world, like in school, it's likely he knows he did not deserve any of that. Unfortunately, due to her blaming him and willing to give him up, he's probably absorbed minor details the grownups did not pick up on, and it will take a lifetime for someone to break through to him that THIS incident and him getting separated from his mom, is NOT his fault, if they even can :(
The lady in red actually made me BAWL my eyes out. Her saying she’ll go to court for him is just pure kindness.
Its a mom, she not wanna risk any kid to be hurt. I also like how when it started the guy in yellow took their kids eyes away from the situation
If you are a loving Mom OR a Dad, you won't let anyone hurt a child, much less let it happen in the future if you have the means to stop it. Just normal kindness from normal parents. Not making it less important, but it should be natural, not exceptionnal.
@@Taking_Dawn_Archives No no of course I get it, but I know some parents who wouldn’t get involved just for the safety of them and their own kids, you know bystander effect.

if she's slamming him down in public, it can only be 10x worse at home. he needs to be taken away from her custody immediately, the kid's life is literally in danger
I agree and the fact that he is screaming "help!" From his mother proves he is terrified of her and for good reasons too 😢
The most horrifying thing (which is saying A LOT after watching this) is her words, “I’ve got a worker! And he’s taught me *how I dealt with it!* “.
Who are these workers she keeps talking about? How are these “people” the professional caretakers of children? Anyone that’s worked with that child and saw nothing wrong with how he lives NEEDS to be investigated.
Oh, that and her constantly blaming any escalation on her 9 year-old struggling with mental disorders.
Exactly
The child's "ADHD" is instead the likely trauma of his mother's abuse.
I fear for his maternal genetics as well.

DHS thinks there is no need for removal if the kid wasn't injured from the abuse?? I beg your finest pardon?!?!?!?!?
DHS and CPS sure do hate children, they literally never help them, ever.
They always wait till the kids dead to do shit.
Probably a legality.
Both my parents and i have been mandated reporters f9r a few reasons in the past and learned a lot about how cps and all that stuff works and it is heartbreaking what they will let a child go through before they remove them from a family. They will leave a kid in a home sleeping on a floor with no pillow only having a bowl of cheerios for food and if the kid isnt covered in injuries or starving to death theyll leave the kid in the home. It is heartbreaking the cruelty some kids have to go through in order to be saved from abusive homes.
Yes. Apparently it is perfectly okay for a parent to body slam their child into the ground… As long as the child doesn’t get hurt. WTF?
Dhs is so stupid. There are many kids who end up dead from a parent because DHS refused to remove them. I hope this little boy won't be one of them
The fact those folks stopped their whole day to give comfort and normalcy to this kid while cops sorted everything out is pretty inspiring. The world ain’t so bad all the time.

To be fair, this isnt a rare thing at all. The average parent usually stands up to defend children. And these were a group of parents.
👏👏👏
Of course there are. It's just that the media always highlight the bad ones
Man those people when above and beyond to protect that child. That poor child. No wonder he has issues.
The fact so many people, most of them complete strangers rallied around to save this boy is so heartwarming. They may very well have saved his life.
Bless that family and community for intervening. The way that boy hugged the woman in red and let her carry him knowing he wasn’t in danger with her breaks my heart. That mom is abusive and cruel. The mom claiming he has DMDD was an ENORMOUS red flag tbh. DMDD is a hotly contested diagnosis of children, as it often is a way to “explain away” symptoms of abuse. I highly doubt this child has that given what I have just witnessed. I hope Brandin is safe now, and his mother is kept away.
As a PCA for special needs kids. This is unacceptable. The mother is wrong when she says that the kid always makes things worse. It is indeed her
The mom might be a little slow.
I'm autistic so I know sometimes it's hard, but I also know that an adult screaming at me will just make me more upset. So it is indeed the parent who makes things worse. I mean just like with any kid, just give him the chance to calm down instead of THROWING him.
Lady should've said "Okay Brendin we're going into the QuikTrip to buy XYZ. That's all we're getting. It should only take about 5 minutes." So they guy in there, buy XYZ, Brendin might start getting upset, so she says "Now Brendin I told you all we were gonna buy is XYZ. Why don't you take some deep breaths for me?"
I'm willing to bet that most of his behavior problems are a result of her antagonistic parenting style. When a autistic person/child gets overwhelmed the last thing you want to is upset them even more. All those threats were only making things worse.
It definitely shows she needs help as well. This is not how we treat any child, yours or not, especially a special needs child. I hope she can get counseling and treatment while serving her sentence.
yeah especially since he is a kid, he doesnt know he has an issue or problem, he is just being himself. Hopefully he gets proper care and the mother takes some ownership of her own issues. Raising a kid is rough, especially one with some mental or physical disability, but it was your choice to bring them into the world.
The kid that was hugging the woman with the black shirt. She even motioned the boy to come to her, she hugged him, she reassured everything will be ok. She is more capable of being a better person and a mother. Her Empathy gives her a golden heart, hope she adopted him.

I LOVE all those kiddos keeping him company, sitting with him, and sharing snacks. Such sweet little friends
That’s what i was thinking too, they weren’t acting like anything had happened, just sitting and keeping him company, so cute
They were so chill, so awesome
Agreed.
That woman standing in front of him and protecting him from his mom: he needed that. I can’t imagine the validation he felt, finally having someone stand up for him for things he probably never realized were wrong, or was never told were not okay. Good on that couple for stepping in like they did.
It's actually really nice to see a community come together to help that kid and deal with this difficult situation. Too often stuff like this can get ignored, and inaction allows things to get much worse. I have a lot of respect for those who stepped up and did the right thing. These are some good people, and I wish them and the kid the best.

Well, it turns out that there's an evil community out there.

Yet he attacked someone's lady!
When my husband was a teen, he went through a lot of mental health struggles. During a rage blackout, he threw something at his mother. His stepdad pinned him against a wall and said, “first off, that’s my wife. Don’t you ever threaten my wife. Second of all, that’s your mother”. Husband had a lot of respect for his late stepfather, and he especially respected him for putting his mother first. His stepfather was a very chill dude, a buddhist, but would not tolerate his wife being disrespected
I got some respect for the girl in the red dress and her boyfriend the way she was holding the kid behind her back and protecting him is just the sweetest thing that I’ve seen.
100% They're good people

The way he was screaming for help shows this was not the first time.
honestly breaks my heart hearing that kid... god bless the girl and her fiance
I agree. I'm sure it was not the first time.... And how sad afterwards he was crying for her to hold him..... So toxic!
Alot perhaps but that's not why he's screaming, kid has problems he's just scream overall all the time we all saw that here in the video him still screaming towards the end
"HELP HELP, I DON'T WANT TO GO" that's what the kid said that broke my heart
Unfortunately won't be the last time sadly😢
I absolutely love that the community came together to protect Brendin. This is a beautiful community and people, thank you to everyone that stood up for this baby boy
I hate how she's saying "he has ADHD" as if that's a reason to treat him like that. Awful woman. 💔
I have ADHD and it's absolutely no excuse. It does paint a better picture of him being difficult but that doesn't give her the right to manhandle the poor child.
It’s her self importance
Me too. Lots of kids have behavioral or psychological problems, and you STILL never manhandle them the way she did. She’s thinks she’s the victim here, not just of the bystanders but of her _son!_
@@houndnz4703Amen. Her responsibility to maintain self-control is even greater because her son is vulnerable.
I have ADHD and all it takes is a rational conversation to redirect me. I’ve been able to be parented smooth like this since I was the kid’s age- no behavioral issues whatsoever. This lady is insane and is using disability as an excuse to treat her child as subhuman. Disgusting.
The fact she's unbothered by her son being placed elsewhere but insists she goes home "to calm down". Says a lot about her and not in a good way
right?!? That was nuts
We call it narcissistic personality disorder.
that's also a good sign she's an addict. That's why their #1 concern is being able to go back home, TONIGHT
Tell me about it
"abuse is okay, unless they are hurt. So can't take him in." - DHS
DHS is absolutely a failure of a system. They absolutely failed this kid.
Oh yes. According to DCF you can hit your child, you just can't leave a mark.
@@crowmedicine3890and it sounds like she did leave a mark when they first checked him out
I mean, he definitely was hurt 😅 I guess it was too early for them to say one way or another without more information, but still
You are right! I did a DHS stint in grad school and if something like this happened, we had to go out there, not 'send an email.'
CPS/DHS apprehend kids first & ask questions later where i’m from. kids get wrongfully taken ALL. THE. TIME. this kid would’ve been in custody immediately if this happened, or at least a worker sent & care plan established. mom would not have gotten him without a long battle and trainings, etc. (even if she hadn’t gone to jail like she luckily did here. if she would’ve been released, he would’ve been home with her.. these people really did save him by intervening, recording evidence, staying there, etc etc etc.)
Thank goodness for the lovely caring customers, they took protective charge of the little boy and didn’t just watch and walk off. Well done and thank you ❤
"Put the child down!" that man shouted over and over. You can hear what he was feeling, he knew it was up to him to be that child's protector.
@@zacharystephens174 The urgency and hurt in his voice was palpable
That man followed his heart. His mind had to have been racing but his heart said protect that child.
What the mom doesn't understand is that regardless if the bystanders were familiar with their family history or not, they have the right to step in and defend the child from the physical abuse.
It's our responsibility as adults to protect small children and animals. Some people just don't get it. 😭
@@superstill8820 i agree but the way the dude stepped in was pathetic the black couple did it for internet point re watch and look at the way they act its painful to watch.
@@Long-Horse lol, sounds racist
@@Long-HorseNot seeing it, looks like they went to check on him and didn't like seeing a screaming kid being hoisted in the air. Only people who looked like they wanted anything out of it were a couple of young people jumping up and down with their phones after the couple got hit by the mom. But they weren't involved.
She also doesn’t seem to understand his disabilities aren’t a free pass to abuse him. I kind of got annoyed how hard they harped on him being a difficult child at first bc the clips of him in the store and waiting outside with the other families he seemed like a little boy who wants his mom to play/pay attention to him (by having her chase him around) and craves socialization (by the way he immediately clung to the other people by physically holding onto some of them especially the woman in red and how he just wanted to play and be a kid outside when he literally just got beat). It was clear he has some diagnosis which would be tough for a competent parent to handle, but his mom also seemed to have some issues so she is already less equipped then most. I’m glad she has workers but all that shows is that they’ve had issues in the past and are in the system now. So I’m on the fence on what’s best for the boy in this one. It’s clear he loves his mom and doesn’t understand the severity of the situation at all but do you educate and monitor them for awhile and they reunite or do you just lock her up and put him in a foster home? There’s pros and cons on both sides and I really would hate to be the person making such a hard choice. I just hope whatever the outcome they’re both doing well. That is no way to live as a parent and no way to be treated as a child. She won’t ever take accountability if she doesn’t admit what she did wrong.
respect to that guy giving her a big gulp of her own medicine and not allowing her to overpower like she’s obviously used to.
Yeah, she’s “used to” overpowering that innocent little child in her care ALL THE TIME at home. She messed up bringing that behavior into public where other people could see and respond. What a mixed blessing, so sad that the kid is dealing with this every day but finally he’s vindicated by all this footage of the abuse. And if he really IS on the spectrum like she said, he would have even more difficulty than the average child speaking out and asking for help…

Exactly. All children are like this sometimes. Even if a kid does it more due to a literal disability, thats NO EXCUSE to harm them.

@@chilloften she’s playing a game of pure projection and blame. Why is she surprised that he throws tantrums when she has literally never modeled anything better? Guess what?! Kids learn through observation. The problem is her.

Yes, like how many times did she scream “he has ADHD!” As if that’s an acceptable excuse to abuse him??
If you treat your child like that in public in front of cameras and multiple witnesses, then you do ALOT worse when you're behind closed doors...
You mean under the bridge….
Its like cockroaches, for every one you see there are probably 1k you can't.
Theres a reason the kid didnt want to go with her
and they tried to say he had no injuries. someone else in the comments said that dhs couldnt help him, this whole thing is heartbreaking bro
As a mother with an autistic son, you are the worst, shouldn't be a mother to a sweet little boy . How dare you treat and bully a child who can't defend himself
The fact that the child was still hugging her & wanting her back. Breaks my heart. A child's mind is so forgiving.
He probably believes that everyone treats their children the same, or worse than his mother treats him. He was likely told by his mom that his life would be even more horrible if she was arrested, or if he had to live with a foster family. The mother likely manipulated her son the same way she attempted to manipulate the police to get out of trouble and avoid responsibility for her actions.
When that's all you know, you don't know it's wrong.
Love between parent and child is truly unconditional
That’s all he knows!
A mother is God in the eyes of a child.
seeing a whole community come together to protect that little boy has me so emotional 😭
We are a tribal species and are generally programmed to look out for kids, stranger or not.
Props to the woman in the red!!! Her motherly instinct kicked in and went straight to protecting that child! Even the kid trusted her more than the cops!
i really think that if she went with him to the hospital he would have been calmer.
I was impressed by her partner, he really stepped up.
I agree. The child even let her pick him up so he could go with the cops. She came to that child's defense. Period.
Yeah but it's just being human. I'm not a mother nor have I ever wanted to be one but I'd have done the exact same thing. A woman doesn't have to have "motherly instincts" in order to be a decent person. I don't hear people saying that the guy has "fatherly instincts". Maybe they're both just nice, normal people. We need to raise the bar when just saving a kid from being beaten is somehow being a hero. It's not.
@@gaylebynumcardosa7034I agree that it is a normal human instinct for some to step up and save others. And that is not new, history shows that people allow this kind of behaviour as ''It was none of my business'' far too often.
“My son is ADHD”. No, your son is a child.
The fact that the child runs to a STRANGER for comfort when the police arrives told me everything I need to know.
He's nine, he's likely been taught that police are to be respected, both in children's programming and school. Autistic children are very compliant with kindly authority figures, esp those that are new to them and give off a gentle presence. They were quiet and talked to him kindly, and it still took a few tries, because he was recovering, not from a TANTRUM, but an AUTISTIC MELTDOWN.
Yup this womens evil

sorry you went through that; hoping you went on to live a happy life. No child should be abused.
Right! That couple deserves an award. That kid really does have a superhero!
I can relate.
if he’s ever placed back in her care the abuse will escalate as she blames him for this happening, blames the strangers for not knowing anything ab her son but trying to help, she really feels like everything evil she does to him is what he deserves. she’s a dangerous person & it’s sad but if family or a trusted adult can’t have custody he will have to be in foster care & that’s another story on it’s own, i just really hope he is placed somewhere safe where she won’t be allowed, it’s gonna be hard for the poor baby either way it goes bc he doesn’t understand & still loves him mom he even asked them not to take her to jail, while she’s in the car berating him for causing this as if he did anything wrong, ugh it’s so sad.
The girl in the red dress in the first video is an actual queen what got me was when she said “for that little kid for him I most definitely will” like what a angel

Thank you to all those good people who stopped that INSANE "mother" .... THANK YOU!!!!!!!
The first lady had it right. If she does that to him in public, imagine what she does to him in private. No matter what, you don't pick a child up by the neck. She should never be trusted with a child, and if he has "workers" they should all be fired because they're not doing their job and reporting. Wow, being thrown down , but not injured, doesn't warrant removal from the home. What kind of laws do we have in this country that protect our kids??? And this kid has obviously been through this before. My heart breaks for this little boy. ZERO sympathy for the mom. And a HUGE KUDOS for the couple who defended that child. He is definitely difficult.
They won't take the children even though they're endangered, but if they are homeschooled, yeah, they'll take your child.
Well said
I can speak on Iowa's DHS office from personal experience.
I was a ward of the state, thrown away into their custody when I was 9. My first worker was utterly useless AF, and would drink coffee with my abuser while ignoring me completely. Family court was equally useless, as they took recommendations from DHS as gospel, even when workers were lying, corrupt, or working from a personal bias with nothing resembling evidence of wrongdoing. I was placed back in that abusive house repeatedly when I wasn't being shuttled off to other facilities to be warehoused or "fixed" by so-called child psychology experts. I was pumped full of prescription drugs like some experimental rat for nine years, which wreaked merry havoc with my brain chemistry and physical health.
Fast forward to today.
DHS office is still utterly useless. My local office refuses to answer their phones, the state office has their phone system set up to reject anybody dumb enough to try calling them, and getting information from some of the horrible people working at these offices is like pulling crocodile teeth with a pair of marshmallows. I personally witnessed a guy who was begging for help from a front desk worker, telling her how he had filed all his paperwork on time yet was still removed from his prescription assistance. He informed the worker without his medication he would die, and he even had paperwork proving that claim, yet all the worker said was, "That's not my problem."
That poor boy Brenden has no chance.
He does seem to be a very difficult child, but look how much patience and kindness Donesha showed him. None of the ways that psycho ‘mother’ dealt with his behavior was going to work. I have a child with ADHD and ODD and it pissed me off to no end to watch that pos use his ADHD as an excuse to abuse him and I can guarantee you that none of those methods she tried (yelling and cussing at him from across the store and then threatening him with the police… no wonder he didn’t wanna go with them) were taught to her by any professional. She has no idea how to manage any of his behaviors… or she’s just too lazy to bother trying to do things properly.
I've witnessed the same thing once. I was getting groceries for my mother, waiting for my turn, suddenly we heard little girls crying, their dad screaming as loud as he was capable of. He was pulling one by the air and beating the other one who was laying on the flood. They we're probably around 5 ou 6 years old. All the staff came to the rescue but he managed to get out with his daughters quicker. They followed him while calling the cops, giving them his licence plate. I really hope they found him, because if he was capable of that in a public place, it was 100% worse at home.
Dhs saying if he wasnt injured from the abuse doesn't justify removing him... That's why kids end up dead. That pisses me off.
Same. Ive seen it several times. The courts in this country think that being the child's mother automatically makes a woman fit to raise the child...even if the woman barely classifies as human
@@wilson120185 pisses me off too
Had my fair share with DCS (ik they are technically different) and they suck. My dad has abused me multiple times and the most they would do is send him to a zoom class. He had abused me once before I got them involved, and to no surprise he did it once after. Now, he is trying to be able to have full access to my 2 younger sisters (via divorce from my mom, through shared custody) and because he filed, I can't testify against him. Safe to say, they suck.
Usually it's not DHS making that decision it's the courts. DHS can't remove without enough cause. I used to work for DHS and the judge would have our head on a platter if we removed a child and they didn't deem it worthy enough. Often we would beg to not let a child return home without a safety plan in place but the judge would just ignore us and send the child home. Of course we would end up getting another call about them being abused again and have to retraumatize the child with another removal. People don't see the behind the scenes of DHS. It's the judge and court system who ultimately decides what children get removed or not and decides if they return home and when.
Couple years ago I had to speak with my states DHS about a report I made and was told that their goal is never to take the kids and if there is any type of Plan B , they don’t remove the kid. Example: parents are drug addicts,but if there is a relative that picks the kids up or can be called to step in to watch them while parents are getting high; that’s reason enough to NOT remove the kids.
Did I just hear her blame her SON who is being abused by her for making everything worse? Wow. She’s insane.

Just want to say I really appreciate whoever does the subtitles for EWU. As someone who used to do subtitles, they always do stellar work. I've seen other crime videos with subtitles that make no sense at all/aren't what the person said. EWU is very friendly to the hard of hearing / audio processing impaired!
Yo fr
That’s sadly because most videos and subtitles these days are likely AI generated. You can tell EWU does incredible production work all the way around!
@@Link-dh3vgyou're 100% correct. Most every video had AI generated subtitles and it's not necessarily the creators fault as RUclips does this automatically now for some reason. It was something they came up with within the past 6 months when they did a huge overhaul update to the site , in their words, "fix a glaring issue with subtitles" when there was not a huge issue to begin with when the creator did them theirselves. RUclips constantly changing things that had nothing wrong to begin with... It's a problem that RUclips cannot seem to wrap their minds around that they are the problem... Just like with the ad-pocalypse back in 2019, there was no problem with the content as kids 12 and under are not suppose to be on the site to begin with but for some reason they felt the need to censor things as if the content is a bad influence on these said children that are not suppose to be on the site to begin with... It's a bunch of bull💩 and it's gotten so bad that you cannot cuss within the first like 3-5 minutes or your video will be age restricted and certain things such as pictures or clips of videos automatically gets your video age restricted...
if you dont mind me asking, how did you get into doing subtitle work?
especially when two people are talking at the same time. they always sub for both!
This man in the white cap and sunglasses and lady in the red track suit are real life heroes. Watching people naturally react like they did gives me faith in humanity.

This is so sad. I feel for both mom and son. You can tell she is in no condition to care for that child. I hope they find the help they desperately need.
Far too often people think domestic issues (violence) is not their business or problem and end up staying out of it. SO grateful to see alllllll of these people think otherwise and step up for that child. Amazing and inspiring
that’s why she said it’s my kid mind your business, these were real americans who stepped in not new americans who don’t give a fuck and would say she’s within her rights
@carli09 "real Americans" and "new Americans" is a bizzare distinction that makes no sense in this context.
@@carli09 this is not a space for anti-immigrant sentiment and you need to focus what this video is about.
@@carli09 it's always you people who embrasse the old and despise the new
@@carli09what time is it in Moscow?
I love this community. They didn’t know the kid but they saw the disrespect and took action. Hard respect. Some even took hits for a random kid.
You're right. Good people who look out for the vulnerable ones.
@@BlueButterfly7777 yeah...that is quite interesting isn't it...
"I don't give a f*ck if you care! Put the child down!" Bro is a real one for that.
Hope for humanity. Kudos to all of the fine citizens who stepped in to help the kid. Y'all are true heros.
Bro and his girl are heroes. 95% of people would have just minded their business and walked away. Well done!
I mean personally I'd at least call the police. *But yeah, these two both deserve a medal of honor.*
Look at how the crowd reacted. I don't think 95% of people would not get involved
I agree that couple are heroes..thank God we got angels like them amongst us
they made it worse kids a brat.
@nnnjh8372 when it comes to what those two did, absolutely yes. But I hope I’m wrong and you’re right. Of course many/most would call the cops, but to physically intervene in that way and be assertive while also protecting the child and taking that heat from the mother is very rare. It was way easier for the rest to get involved one the two heroes set the example and lead, but it was way easier at that point.
