I could have called the cops but being a bit removed from the unfamiliar town it would have likely taken longer for them to arrive than me just to remove myself from it and protect my peace and safety.. you never know when people get heated what they are capable of.. so removing myself was just as important for myself
You are a much better person than I am. I would have recorded the entire thing and then informed them that it was going on social media for the entire world to see. I
I try really hard not to feel bad for that but it makes me sad that this kid is going to have a rude awakening at some point... all of which could have been avoided simply by being a parent in the way they shared rules and values
@@BunnyPlaysHere That is absolutely true! I had a (now ex) BFF that is raising her son almost as bad, she's an extremely polite person though, so that wouldn't have happened but he's def getting spoiled and he will run into problems for sure (yea, she's polite but a total bitch at the same time...smdh lol).
WOW! That parent is raising a delinquent. That child has a hard road ahead of him because he is not disciplined. I'm sorry this happened to you. I think you handled it better than I would have. I'd have called the police after he touched me second time.
What I taught my son - “You don’t have the right to put your hands on anyone else without their permission. But if they put their hands on you without permission, you have my permission to make them regret it.” That kid is going to punch the wrong person soon. And you know who he’s gonna punch eventually? His Mom. She’s ensuring her own abuse!
That kid is going to shove or punch the wrong person. Then it'll be police and assault. You should have called the cops. I'm a former teacher who knows this stuff has to be nipped in the bud. Mom would have cared if she had legal fees to pay.
Bunny you are 💯 correct. I'm a 62 yrs grandma of 6 and not one of my grandbabies would act like that. However, I do have a family member who raised their child "free range" method.. that relative is no longer invited to visit me with her child in tow.
That is so unfortunate... i meet a lot of nomads which have kiddos which they allow to be kids on the road... they have rules still however to learn about safety and respecting others.. i just don't get this parenting style of do what you want how you want and no consequences... that doesn't translate into regular life well as they get older
So sorry that happened to you. Encountering selfish people is so draining. I'm glad you stood up for yourself. Don't feel bad for speaking the truth about her kid. They broke the social contract, not you.
Exactly!! I am so happy that I was able to protect my energy by leaving... it wasn't a great experience but ultimately at the end of the day I can walk away knowing I tried....
I agree.. things are very different for so many these days... my parents and grandparents always taught me to respect others and also to not push myself on others if i want to or don't want to do things a certain way... i have the right to do it my way.. but that does not mean that right extends onto others having to do it my way.... i wish more people understood this these days
Your momma raised you well! This lady was waiting for you to retaliate so she could get it on video and turn the tables on you. Walking away, as hard as it is, was definitely the right thing to do! I’m a retired teacher and I’m not sure I would have been as nice! You did good, kiddo!!
At the end of the day, you are absolutely right. People are looking for a reason to try to exploit the others by putting them on video. That’s why on my channel even if I have an issue with someone, I try very hard not to publicly shame them in any way shape or form because ultimately they did not consent to be on the Internet. It’s interesting. That consent seems to be some thing that a lot of people don’t understand these days and even in this particular case, you should never put hands on someone unless they are OK with you physically touching them in any capacity. I think that that goes along with respect, however and unfortunately, in a situation where right and wrong is not being taught respect is not either. Walking away while hard also make sure that that doesn’t end negatively for me in any capacity
@ I retired when I did for those very reasons: kids are not being taught manners or respect. At any rate, you continue enjoying your travels and experiences and don’t give those people anymore headspace!! Keep nourishing your soul!! Be well and safe!!
I agree... no one should touch another person without them being okay with it.... in any way.... it isn't cute.. it isn't about being funny.. if you don't know the person you shouldn't be that close to them
Wow. My blood pressure rose just listening to your story. I am also very NOT OK with someone's kid hitting me like that. I would have had words, too. ❤
I agree... it was not a great situation just glad I was able to defend my position and when realizing that it wasn't going anywhere just remove myself....
what a TERRIBLE parent!!! She's the kind that will take up for her kids bad behavior no matter what ( the kind of parent that teachers cant stand). One day that out of control kid is going to mess with the wrong person who is going to throw hands right back. Sadly, that kid is going to learn the hard way
yes ... i don't think most people realize that the definition of this could include their kid if they do this.... not okay.... i don't want any harm to come to the kid but i fear these parents don't realize the damage they do when they don't teach basic decency and right and wrong
it was a consideration but due to the location it was faster and safer to just leave..... some people are not receptive to words clearly... so in the moment i opted to not continue to argue and rather to step away and make sure it did not escalate.. you never know about people these days....
I absolutely respect your reaction...I don't think I would have been so diplomatic with the "mother".. Hopefully this is the only story you have to tell like this.... love following your journey
I would have addressed the child directly with adult voice " STOP. DO NOT TOUCH ME". Not with anger, no explanation, just defend your space/boundary. If the parent gets in your face, then report them and they should be removed.
Oh Bunny, you are definitely not a Karen. I think you held it together better than I would. I would’ve gone off on this woman. I’m sorry you had to encounter this, but thank you for telling us all about it because unfortunately, I think that a lot of us have encountered something similar to this with irresponsible parents over the past few years, especially. It seems to be a growing problem where parents have kids like they are accessories. They have them and then they don’t teach them to be responsible or decent people. I’m not saying all people but a lot of people are like this these days and I’m not sure why they’re such such a growing amount of apathy. I think you did the right thing by removing yourself. I probably would’ve called the cops though just because you are correct that is assault. I also understand however not wanting to put that on a child’s record so soon. Because that’s something that will follow them. However, if perhaps because they were with the parent, it could’ve been on the parent, but that is a great area. I would be afraid to Dive into also I think you’re a good person. Don’t let this get you down.
i would have felt so badly to react in that manner..... the parent's reaction was not what i was expecting whatsoever however.. it is wild to see the disconnect behind actions and consequences long term
When kids are acting feral, the best way to get them to stop is to draw attention to yourself. I was watching a kid throwing a fit. So I threw a louder fit next to him. He stopped immediately. It was too funny
That kid will be living in mommy’s basement till he’s 40. Great parenting skills. And yes I’ve raised a child, no he never randomly shoved or hit strangers. He knew he had to be well behaved,because he was taught. And yes sometimes children get tired and cranky,but it’s no excuse for that behavior. Take care Bunny. You deserve to have a great day. Don’t feel guilty about what u said. Those parents need to know the world doesn’t revolve around them and their kid. I’ve encountered a few of those parents over the years. It will come back in them someday, ie basement, lol. And they’ll wonder, what did we do wrong! Enjoy your life, bunny. Much support.👏🏻❤️✌️
I also respect the fact that whenever you bring to our attention something like this, that you do it from a constructive place and find the positive as opposed to a certain creator that I was watching yesterday, who was in the wrong, but continued to persist that she was in the right even though she is not. You might know her your friend did the right thing while she complained the whole time that he did the right thing. I’m really happy that you don’t seem to hang out with that particular person.
good for you taking the high road...I am pretty sure your 'reaction' was pretty mild compared to what I am imagining I would have done...but for that I admire you. ...I might have lost my balance and 'by accident' caused the little angel to take an unexpected dip in the water.
I always try to carry myself in a way that I feel comfortable, laying my head down at night. I never want to have done some thing that would make me regret it later and dust. I have learned to protect my peace and energy above all.
I agree if I would’ve acted like this, my parents would have taken away all of my privileges and sent me down, not even in my room, but in the guestroom because there were no toys are interesting things there I would’ve stayed there for as long as my attitude remained. I don’t think that parents today do that, and I am not even that old when did it stop?
Vent away! That was INSANE - the kid's behavior and his mother's as well. Years ago I was in a store. A woman came in with two small children. The kids proceeded to act out, running wild all over the store, yelling, pulling out merchandise and throwing it around. When the store staff asked the mom to control her kids, she denied they were doing anything wrong. It escalated to the store manager getting involved - and crazy mom STILL denied her kids were out of control. I felt I had to get involved so I walked over and joined the conversation, backed up the store staff. It remains one of the most INSANE things I've ever witnessed in a long life. I've never understood that woman's thinking. Of COURSE her kids were acing up and we all saw it but she just kept denying it.
Since when did we go from "it takes a village" to "Karen"? A parent is responsible for their child's behavior. Unfortunately this parent is creating the conditions which create another self entitled disruptive duplicate of her self. On the reap what you sow side she will undoubtedly find herself on the receiving end of his uncontrolled fury and likely have to deal with wee morning calls for bail.
Isn’t it sad that there has to be an adult in the room when otherwise there is an adult in the room. It just goes to show that some people are not actual responsible individuals. But there is no penalty for being stupid, rude and dumb. Clearly, the morals and values are not the same across the board because I don’t know a single person who would think that this is OK.
This is the situation to call the police and press charges, because it is not okay. That horrible child and mother need to learn and it might happen with someone who is not as nice as you. I would absolutely press charges no one likes being punched or pushed on the butt. We all have the right to not have random people start touching and hitting us.
I try to be polite others are enjoying things like I am but at some point there is a boundary of personal space... and if you cross it with violence or rudeness that isn't okay... i am minding my business and you could choose to mind yours.. but instead you cracked into my business bubble.... especially in a world were people are so concerned for safety of children they should not be touching "private parts" which include butts of others... that is a slippery slope
I wonder if he is being bullied by someone at home…no excuse. Sad that mom is teaching her child that being disrespectful & violent is ok. Don’t be hard on yourself. Everything is a learning experience & U R great that U R looking for the positive or silver lining.
I am a firm believer that it doesn't do me any good at the point that it starts to eat into my time and energy... so when she acted the way she did i was like lets see my way out of this... not once but twice... hence why i lost it the second time...
I just hope through this that people see that while they might worry about so many things on the road.. those might never happen but the things they don't think of might.... this is something i hope i never encounter again.. but it will make me more mindful when i am around children in public spaces... you never know what people are capable of and lesson learned my peace is the most important thing.. so walking away and leaving was lesson learned
Thank you so much!! I like to keep the focus on the positives so we can all get brain wrinkles together ... but it was something that needed to be said today... reality is weird people are becoming more and more common.... sadly...
So sorry that happened to you, that child is going to grow up to give his mom a lot of trouble because she is letting him do physical harm without consequences. You handled yourself better than I would I'm ashamed to say.
Hi, Bunny, first of all, im VERY impressed with how well you handled yourself in this situation. Im considerably older than you, and, to this day i am AMAZED, when in public places, to see what seems to have happened with parenting!! I don't get it, i really dont. And yes, this child will have a bad time with life later on. I really hope his mom wakes up from whatever fog she's existing in, and i know you do, too. Keep bringing us your wonderful videos, sweet Bunny!!
Never okay to touch another person. I taught my kids this very early on, not only because of violence not being okay but also to allow them to understand that not everyone should be touching their bodies. I think consent is a big deal for children to learn when it comes to touching others in any way. It doesn't make them soft but responsible.
I agree.. especially in a world filled with so many people on such a short fuse these days a kid could put themselves in harms way very easily.... so i am thankful for moms like you who make sure they understand these things for themselves...
Bless you sweetie, for I would NOT have been ok with the 2nd push, and I'm old enough to be a grandma. I'm afraid when that woman called me a name I would have come back with, "At least I'm not raising a delinquent little SH*t!"
I'm a parent. I always told myself that my child is wonderful to ME. Maybe not everyone else. Parents don't be surprised when your child is not cherished by strangers
exactly... i think that as parents everyone loves and should love their child... flaws and all but it also must be something which we consider others...
That was a personal violation, I’d have called the authorities because, like a dog not on a leash - the woman had no control over her child. In most states, she’d have been held responsible. I’m so sorry Bunny. No one no one should ever be treated in such a way.
Unfortunately in the world today we have an epidemic of people who lack responsibility and allow their children to do the same. They feel they have a chip on their shoulder about how they were raised personally so they go in the polar opposite direction without rules at all. We see them at the hospital coming in with parents and loved ones and terrorizing the hospital and staff. The adults are bad enough but the children attempt to run around and play with equipment, pull cords and hinder nurses from doing their jobs properly. We have had to institute what should be considered common sense rules just to have people and their children realize they cannot just do what they want because they put others in harms way.
I think that mom personally targeted you and told her kid to assault you. She couldn't physically attack you, but she wanted to. You have nothing to be sorry about, and I'm really sorry this happened to you.
I feel like as someone raised as an 80s kid.. some of the people who are now parents are in my age group and they are the ones who might have been critical of the rules their parents taught and how they were disciplined so now they do nothing to be the cool parent... or they try to just let their kids have all the things they might not have but without guard rails of rules
Omg that’s crazy! I can only imagine who that kid will grow up to be and surely can’t imagine a parent being ok with it. Sad. So glad you didn’t drop your camera!
I think speaking up is important but also being mindful that even when I do if the parent is not receptive to hearing that this is not okay there is nothing i can do to personally change it.... so i removed myself ultimately protecting myself
Oh, well....Mom will learn when she has to pay his bail money...like, a BUNCHA TIMES!!! I'm guessing that there were no park personnel at this location, but maybe cameras?? I think I'd make a habit of walking into these types of places with my cell phone ready to video.😮😮😮
I’ve always been proud when people have told me what a delight my daughter was. I wanted people to like her. She’s grown now, but why wouldn’t everyone want their kids to be mannerable and kind to others? SMH.
thank you !! I just always hope to share positive vibes on the channel but this was something that was a hard day and i feel bad ultimately for the kid because this lack of parenting and allowance of poor behavior will follow this kid
Bunny, I know you did what you felt you must at the time, and I'm sorry this happened to you. Things are different with half of Americans okay with hate, and unfortunately, you were a target of that. The woman who bore the child was not a "mother", she was a deviant who should not have that child in her care. Thank God you are okay. I'm sure it rattled you bad because most people care. What state were you in? Take care, 🐰 ❤
What!! So so not good. Shame on her and she’ll be having some bigger issues as this kid geta bigger. More than likely a bullie. So sorry but so proud of you!!!
I agree.. the responses of the parent were more troubling even than the kiddo.. she is an adult she has been through life and should have learned... the kid is doing what he sees as an example....
Years ago I worked in an upscale clothing store in what was called the Women’s Corner. We had a live potted tree. A little boy started taking dirt out of the pot. He thought it was funny. Instead of addressing it herself, his mother told him, “This lady is going to spank you.” A. Not my job. B. It would not have been appreciated by my manager. I walked away from them and tended to something or someone else. My manager had no problem with how I handled it. The carpet got vacuumed and didn’t require cleaning, the customer didn’t complain. If she had, however, my manager would have said something like, It is not our staff’s responsibility to discipline your child. Sounds like these two mothers had a lot in common. We aren’t here to be our child’s friend. My kids knew by the look on my face. I gave them some leeway at home to let off steam, but in public was another story.
i agree... basic right and wrong doesn't have to mean you cannot be friendly to your child.... if that is the case.. they need to realize however the adult is the adult
So unfortunate that this young boy will grow up and have to realize that he was never taught or prepared for the world around him because his parents did not show him this. He will always feel like he has been wronged in life unless he has some positive role models pop up in his life.
You handled that situation way better than me. The cops would have been called. Sounds harsh but it might just have been the biggest blessing in that little boy's life.
Wow! You did very well, in my opinion! I was an elementary school teacher for 34 years, and I have experienced some uncontrolled children in my day. The only thing that consoled me a bit was that those parents would have to deal with that child as a teenager. Evil, non Christian, yes, but it helped to take the sting out of my inability to resolve the situation with reason and kindness 😜
You are not over reacting❤ He's going to do that to the wrong person and things wont turn out so nicely for her. You are an amazing person❤ you handled that amazingly❤ oh , venting is good for your soul❤
That’s the parents fault, not the child’s fault. He will go through life being told everything he does is okay and it won’t end well. Kudos to you for getting out of there safely. Unhinged women can be dangerous.
I have learned that when someone lacks control or basic understanding then getting mad on my part does nothing..... it is just a waste of air.... so i instead just removed myself....
I took some time before releasing this so I could calm down and watch it again with a clear mind..... all has been better since this bad day!! I like to believe that overall people are very good.. and the fact that in all my years this is the only time I have had an encounter like this does restore my hope....
@BunnyPlaysHere Amen. THAT GENERATION. NEEDS TO LEARN RESPECT. AND THE PROBLEM IS THE PARENTS. ITS VERY SAD. WELL KEEP HER IN PRAYER THAT GOD WILL TOUCH HER HEART TO SEE THAT SHE WILL HELP HER SON GROM GOING THE WRONG WAY IN LIFE. AMEN
I agree.. it is hard sometimes to determine why people do what they do but man... can they do that not toward not only me but other people in general....
I’m a Grandma and that Mom should have kept her kid In check. I would have made him apologize . She clearly has no respect for anyone. I’m disgusted by her behavior and lack of parenting skills. Even though you shouldn’t have had to leave. This was probably a great decision who knows where it could have gone otherwise.
You are really good. The first incident I would have moved on from. The second, I would have told the mother, "If your kid touches me again, I'm going to touch you."
I don't ultimately believe that violence is the answer because i will never jeopardize my own freedom for the action or lack of action of others .... instead i protect my own peace by walking way and leaving.... it was faster than calling the cops in this instance...
Oh hell no Bunny. I'm sorry, absolutely not. Then I would have said you know what then I have every right to punch you. Here you go. Here's a repeat and a payback. Yeah totally. Yes, it's all about being respectful but it's all about also protecting yourself and with you being out there by yourself. Protect yourself girl. Don't take no s*** off people. And girl, don't worry about offending somebody. You stand up for yourself. Totally stand up for yourself. Screw these Karen's....
Oh, my gosh! I'm a grandmother and a very soft on punishment but this takes the cake. He is a brat and yes, he is going to have a bad life because of bad parenting (which is an understatement of gigantic proportions). I think you handled it well. I don't know how old this child was but if he was over 7 or 8, I probably would've called the police.
Oh my!!! Unfortunately I really think we all need to adopt a 1 strike policy. When she said that her kid could do anything the first time. That would have been It for me. "well then lady, if he touches me another time, I'm going to have to make a report and btw, take your picture right now to document!"
At the end of the day I was firm and said what i needed to realized it was falling on deaf ears and moved on..... it was soooo frustrating but people are so weird these days beyond words i wouldn't ever want to spiral into anything more
Good for you dealing with those rude and inappropriate people!!!! Sorry you had to encounter them. Karma will get the parents for raising their child so inappropriately.
I am a firm believer that we get back what we put out... positivity always reigns supreme.... so sharing this i don't want to play the victim but rather take responsibility also for my own reactions.....
There’s a book written by William Glasser called Reality Therapy. And the best way to lead, guide, correct… people is by using reality. And reality is best done when they are a child. The “mother” (yes, I meant it to be in quotes) obviously hasn’t had reality hit her soon enough to realize the way she is messing up her child. The abusive child will have reality hit him when he does this with someone else that doesn’t have your restraint.
it is sad that during the early years when we usually learn right and wrong that this kid is learning that right is what he wants vs what is best for everyone simply by keeping his hands to hisself.. that is a parenting misstep for sure
Calling the cops could have taken much longer than just removing myself from the issue... at the end of the day people can be volatile and i don't want any part of that
I’m so sorry that this happened. You may not have had your finest hour (I doubt that since you have remorse) but you were still were more classy than those obnoxious people. I’m also sad to report that this behavior is becoming more prevalent. It is so sad that people are doing such a disservice to the little people they’ve been entrusted with.
That is bonkers!!! I would be embarrassed if I were that mom but also know I would never let my kid act that way. I am sorry you had that interaction with either of them. I hope karma finds that mom real quick.
Omg wow yes it was an assault! I am s so sorry you had that experience. My neighbors 4 year old son threaten to kill me waving a stick at me in front of his mother. Mom said “remember we don’t take to people like that”. WHAT!!! Luckily they moved soon after!
It’s OK because ultimately I was able to walk away. It’s just really unfortunate that this happens if it would’ve happened to an elderly person I’m pretty sure it would’ve seriously hurt them. I had a bruise for a few days. This kind of behavior exist, but I am very happy that I have only encountered it once while traveling.
I don't like to lose it on people.... it not only raises my blood pressure which isn't great but it also doesn't do much if a person literally doesn't care.... .
I am glad the mom didn't get violent also... people these days are so incredibly unpredictable.... you never know what someone will do or is capable of.... which is scary
And when she is visiting her son in jail she will wonder how "we got here?"
He is probably his teacher's nightmare.
No she won't wonder that. She will be that mom that thinks her boy is being treated unfairly.
@@SJoyBV yes this!
I would never hope that on the kid.. but violence never leads to positive places... and disregard for others tends to be a slippery slope also

I was thinking that, to...natural reflex when you are attacked to whirl around and knock that damn kid in the river, right?
Uncontrollable 'parents' are the worst.
I agree!!
WOW! That parent is raising a delinquent. That child has a hard road ahead of him because he is not disciplined. I'm sorry this happened to you. I think you handled it better than I would have. I'd have called the police after he touched me second time.
What I taught my son - “You don’t have the right to put your hands on anyone else without their permission.

His Mom. She’s ensuring her own abuse!
Bunny, you are truly a saint! I have never reacted to being assaulted or having my family assaulted quite so "diplomatically".
That kid is going to shove or punch the wrong person. Then it'll be police and assault. You should have called the cops. I'm a former teacher who knows this stuff has to be nipped in the bud. Mom would have cared if she had legal fees to pay.
Some people have no manners at all..sorry you had to go through that 💜
Bunny you are 💯 correct. I'm a 62 yrs grandma of 6 and not one of my grandbabies would act like that. However, I do have a family member who raised their child "free range" method.. that relative is no longer invited to visit me with her child in tow.
That is so unfortunate... i meet a lot of nomads which have kiddos which they allow to be kids on the road... they have rules still however to learn about safety and respecting others.. i just don't get this parenting style of do what you want how you want and no consequences... that doesn't translate into regular life well as they get older
So sorry that happened to you. Encountering selfish people is so draining. I'm glad you stood up for yourself. Don't feel bad for speaking the truth about her kid. They broke the social contract, not you.
Exactly!! I am so happy that I was able to protect my energy by leaving... it wasn't a great experience but ultimately at the end of the day I can walk away knowing I tried....

Hopefully this is the only story you have to tell like this.... love following your journey
I would have addressed the child directly with adult voice " STOP. DO NOT TOUCH ME". Not with anger, no explanation, just defend your space/boundary. If the parent gets in your face, then report them and they should be removed.
Oh Bunny, you are definitely not a Karen. I think you held it together better than I would. I would’ve gone off on this woman. I’m sorry you had to encounter this, but thank you for telling us all about it because unfortunately, I think that a lot of us have encountered something similar to this with irresponsible parents over the past few years, especially. It seems to be a growing problem where parents have kids like they are accessories. They have them and then they don’t teach them to be responsible or decent people. I’m not saying all people but a lot of people are like this these days and I’m not sure why they’re such such a growing amount of apathy. I think you did the right thing by removing yourself. I probably would’ve called the cops though just because you are correct that is assault. I also understand however not wanting to put that on a child’s record so soon. Because that’s something that will follow them. However, if perhaps because they were with the parent, it could’ve been on the parent, but that is a great area. I would be afraid to Dive into also I think you’re a good person. Don’t let this get you down.
You were so nice to NOT push the kid in the water
i would have felt so badly to react in that manner..... the parent's reaction was not what i was expecting whatsoever however.. it is wild to see the disconnect behind actions and consequences long term
When kids are acting feral, the best way to get them to stop is to draw attention to yourself. I was watching a kid throwing a fit. So I threw a louder fit next to him. He stopped immediately. It was too funny
I’m glad you didn’t hit him back. There have been several times as a teacher that I wanted to and couldn’t!😂
This is why, I'm not a teacher😂.. I seriously don't know how you do it.
That kid will be living in mommy’s basement till he’s 40. Great parenting skills. And yes I’ve raised a child, no he never randomly shoved or hit strangers. He knew he had to be well behaved,because he was taught. And yes sometimes children get tired and cranky,but it’s no excuse for that behavior. Take care Bunny. You deserve to have a great day. Don’t feel guilty about what u said. Those parents need to know the world doesn’t revolve around them and their kid. I’ve encountered a few of those parents over the years. It will come back in them someday, ie basement, lol. And they’ll wonder, what did we do wrong! Enjoy your life, bunny. Much support.👏🏻❤️✌️
I also respect the fact that whenever you bring to our attention something like this, that you do it from a constructive place and find the positive as opposed to a certain creator that I was watching yesterday, who was in the wrong, but continued to persist that she was in the right even though she is not. You might know her your friend did the right thing while she complained the whole time that he did the right thing. I’m really happy that you don’t seem to hang out with that particular person.
I am not really sure what you are speaking about but that is unfortunate when people don't take responsibility for doing something wrong.....
good for you taking the high road...I am pretty sure your 'reaction' was pretty mild compared to what I am imagining I would have done...but for that I admire you. ...I might have lost my balance and 'by accident' caused the little angel to take an unexpected dip in the water.
I always try to carry myself in a way that I feel comfortable, laying my head down at night. I never want to have done some thing that would make me regret it later and dust. I have learned to protect my peace and energy above all.
So many parents are not teaching their kids manners and being kind to others. You did well Bunny, that was not acceptable behavior.
I agree if I would’ve acted like this, my parents would have taken away all of my privileges and sent me down, not even in my room, but in the guestroom because there were no toys are interesting things there I would’ve stayed there for as long as my attitude remained. I don’t think that parents today do that, and I am not even that old when did it stop?
Vent away! That was INSANE - the kid's behavior and his mother's as well. Years ago I was in a store. A woman came in with two small children. The kids proceeded to act out, running wild all over the store, yelling, pulling out merchandise and throwing it around. When the store staff asked the mom to control her kids, she denied they were doing anything wrong. It escalated to the store manager getting involved - and crazy mom STILL denied her kids were out of control. I felt I had to get involved so I walked over and joined the conversation, backed up the store staff. It remains one of the most INSANE things I've ever witnessed in a long life. I've never understood that woman's thinking. Of COURSE her kids were acing up and we all saw it but she just kept denying it.
Since when did we go from "it takes a village" to "Karen"? A parent is responsible for their child's behavior. Unfortunately this parent is creating the conditions which create another self entitled disruptive duplicate of her self. On the reap what you sow side she will undoubtedly find herself on the receiving end of his uncontrolled fury and likely have to deal with wee morning calls for bail.
So Sorry Bunny all I can say is , you were the adult in the room and handled yourself very well. Deep breath and life gos on . 😊
Isn’t it sad that there has to be an adult in the room when otherwise there is an adult in the room. It just goes to show that some people are not actual responsible individuals. But there is no penalty for being stupid, rude and dumb. Clearly, the morals and values are not the same across the board because I don’t know a single person who would think that this is OK.
This is the situation to call the police and press charges, because it is not okay. That horrible child and mother need to learn and it might happen with someone who is not as nice as you. I would absolutely press charges no one likes being punched or pushed on the butt. We all have the right to not have random people start touching and hitting us.
That’s really terrible. Shame on that parent. That behavior is not acceptable under any terms. I hope you reported it…
You had more restraint than I would have. Good for you standing up against a Karen. 😢
Ugh
I try to be polite others are enjoying things like I am but at some point there is a boundary of personal space... and if you cross it with violence or rudeness that isn't okay... i am minding my business and you could choose to mind yours.. but instead you cracked into my business bubble.... especially in a world were people are so concerned for safety of children they should not be touching "private parts" which include butts of others... that is a slippery slope
I wonder if he is being bullied by someone at home…no excuse. Sad that mom is teaching her child that being disrespectful & violent is ok. Don’t be hard on yourself. Everything is a learning experience & U R great that U R looking for the positive or silver lining.
The positive is you didn't knock them both on their sitter-downers. You did extremely well to hold your temper. Happy thoughts, happy days!
One good thing for sure, you will never see them again! I’m sorry this happened to you, and I do not think you were out of line at all.
Exactly.. this is why I simply removed myself from the conversation and protected my own peace of mind
I am so sorry that you had to deal with this! I would’ve lost it on this Mom. The Latina and me would have read her 10 ways to Sunday.
I am a firm believer that it doesn't do me any good at the point that it starts to eat into my time and energy... so when she acted the way she did i was like lets see my way out of this... not once but twice... hence why i lost it the second time...
Bunny you stayed way more in control than I would have. Excellent on you Don’t feel bad. You did your best to rise above but enough was enough
The good coming out of it for you is you got to vent, got some views out of it, allowing others to commiserate, and you got me to subscribe!
I just hope through this that people see that while they might worry about so many things on the road.. those might never happen but the things they don't think of might.... this is something i hope i never encounter again.. but it will make me more mindful when i am around children in public spaces... you never know what people are capable of and lesson learned my peace is the most important thing.. so walking away and leaving was lesson learned
I’m new to your channel and I can see you are a great teacher and person. Kudos to you!
Thank you so much!! I like to keep the focus on the positives so we can all get brain wrinkles together ... but it was something that needed to be said today... reality is weird people are becoming more and more common.... sadly...
So sorry that happened to you, that child is going to grow up to give his mom a lot of trouble because she is letting him do physical harm without consequences. You handled yourself better than I would I'm ashamed to say.
I think so too.. someone has to put in the work to show kids that there is right and wrong.. rules matter and how we treat others is important
Hi, Bunny, first of all, im VERY impressed with how well you handled yourself in this situation. Im considerably older than you, and, to this day i am AMAZED, when in public places, to see what seems to have happened with parenting!! I don't get it, i really dont. And yes, this child will have a bad time with life later on. I really hope his mom wakes up from whatever fog she's existing in, and i know you do, too. Keep bringing us your wonderful videos, sweet Bunny!!
Never okay to touch another person. I taught my kids this very early on, not only because of violence not being okay but also to allow them to understand that not everyone should be touching their bodies. I think consent is a big deal for children to learn when it comes to touching others in any way. It doesn't make them soft but responsible.
I agree.. especially in a world filled with so many people on such a short fuse these days a kid could put themselves in harms way very easily.... so i am thankful for moms like you who make sure they understand these things for themselves...
Bless you sweetie, for I would NOT have been ok with the 2nd push, and I'm old enough to be a grandma. I'm afraid when that woman called me a name I would have come back with, "At least I'm not raising a delinquent little SH*t!"
I'm a parent. I always told myself that my child is wonderful to ME. Maybe not everyone else. Parents don't be surprised when your child is not cherished by strangers
exactly... i think that as parents everyone loves and should love their child... flaws and all but it also must be something which we consider others...
That was a personal violation, I’d have called the authorities because, like a dog not on a leash - the woman had no control over her child. In most states, she’d have been held responsible.
I’m so sorry Bunny. No one no one should ever be treated in such a way.
Unfortunately in the world today we have an epidemic of people who lack responsibility and allow their children to do the same. They feel they have a chip on their shoulder about how they were raised personally so they go in the polar opposite direction without rules at all. We see them at the hospital coming in with parents and loved ones and terrorizing the hospital and staff. The adults are bad enough but the children attempt to run around and play with equipment, pull cords and hinder nurses from doing their jobs properly. We have had to institute what should be considered common sense rules just to have people and their children realize they cannot just do what they want because they put others in harms way.
That is so unfortunate..... i cannot believe it is that bad.... but then again seeing a glimpse here and there is is so disheartening....
I think that mom personally targeted you and told her kid to assault you. She couldn't physically attack you, but she wanted to. You have nothing to be sorry about, and I'm really sorry this happened to you.
I was thinking this same thing.
I completely understand. I'm in my 60s and kids now days are raised alot different than I raised mine😊
I feel like as someone raised as an 80s kid.. some of the people who are now parents are in my age group and they are the ones who might have been critical of the rules their parents taught and how they were disciplined so now they do nothing to be the cool parent... or they try to just let their kids have all the things they might not have but without guard rails of rules
You handled it accordingly!❤ Good to see you out and about.
It’s okay Bunny we understand . Mom not being a mom will have problems with kid when they are older .
I agree.. it is sad and such a disservice to the kid....
I would've called the police and made a police report. Another reason why not every one should be a parent.
Omg that’s crazy! I can only imagine who that kid will grow up to be and surely can’t imagine a parent being ok with it. Sad. So glad you didn’t drop your camera!
Me too.. if that would have happened we likely would have had a very legal conversation....
Good for you speaking up for yourself!
I think speaking up is important but also being mindful that even when I do if the parent is not receptive to hearing that this is not okay there is nothing i can do to personally change it.... so i removed myself ultimately protecting myself
You showed amazing self-control. Thank you for sharing...that child is in need of discipline...so is the mother.
Oh, well....Mom will learn when she has to pay his bail money...like, a BUNCHA TIMES!!! I'm guessing that there were no park personnel at this location, but maybe cameras?? I think I'd make a habit of walking into these types of places with my cell phone ready to video.😮😮😮
I’ve always been proud when people have told me what a delight my daughter was. I wanted people to like her. She’s grown now, but why wouldn’t everyone want their kids to be mannerable and kind to others? SMH.
100% ,IT'S NOT OK !
At all!!!
Lessons in life ugh.. I think you did great!!
thank you !! I just always hope to share positive vibes on the channel but this was something that was a hard day and i feel bad ultimately for the kid because this lack of parenting and allowance of poor behavior will follow this kid
@ so sad..
You handled it better than I would, that is absolutely not acceptable.
It's a shame that you had to endure that abusive family.
It's also a shame that people like that are allowed to get out in public unsupervised.
I believe places are for us all but we have to respect one another in the spaces....
“Not so nice bunny came out to play”. 😂
I mean we wll no matter how nice we are have a side that defends ourselves... to bring that out takes a lot.....
Bunny, I know you did what you felt you must at the time, and I'm sorry this happened to you. Things are different with half of Americans okay with hate, and unfortunately, you were a target of that. The woman who bore the child was not a "mother", she was a deviant who should not have that child in her care. Thank God you are okay. I'm sure it rattled you bad because most people care. What state were you in? Take care, 🐰 ❤
What a terrible experience for you. You have a good heart & good head. That mom is raising a future thug. Shame on her!
It really was sad because ultimately it is the parent at fault in this case for sure based on her reactions.
That is just horrible! It is horrible how she is raising her child! It is very sad for the child, he will grow up to be a bully, or worse.
I agree.. it is a disservice to the kiddo that the parent justified all their actions....
What!! So so not good. Shame on her and she’ll be having some bigger issues as this kid geta bigger. More than likely a bullie.
So sorry but so proud of you!!!
I agree.. the responses of the parent were more troubling even than the kiddo.. she is an adult she has been through life and should have learned... the kid is doing what he sees as an example....
That is so crazy. Hope your ok. Take care.
I am okay i am glad I removed myself from the conversation and protected my sanity.....
Years ago I worked in an upscale clothing store in what was called the Women’s Corner. We had a live potted tree. A little boy started taking dirt out of the pot. He thought it was funny. Instead of addressing it herself, his mother told him, “This lady is going to spank you.” A. Not my job. B. It would not have been appreciated by my manager. I walked away from them and tended to something or someone else. My manager had no problem with how I handled it. The carpet got vacuumed and didn’t require cleaning, the customer didn’t complain. If she had, however, my manager would have said something like, It is not our staff’s responsibility to discipline your child. Sounds like these two mothers had a lot in common. We aren’t here to be our child’s friend. My kids knew by the look on my face. I gave them some leeway at home to let off steam, but in public was another story.
i agree... basic right and wrong doesn't have to mean you cannot be friendly to your child.... if that is the case.. they need to realize however the adult is the adult
So unfortunate that this young boy will grow up and have to realize that he was never taught or prepared for the world around him because his parents did not show him this. He will always feel like he has been wronged in life unless he has some positive role models pop up in his life.
I agree.. it is sad his mother doesn't work on that with him....
You handled that situation way better than me. The cops would have been called. Sounds harsh but it might just have been the biggest blessing in that little boy's life.
You're in the right if my 7-year-old did that to somebody I would have been really upset and made her apologize to that person
Wow! You did very well, in my opinion! I was an elementary school teacher for 34 years, and I have experienced some uncontrolled children in my day. The only thing that consoled me a bit was that those parents would have to deal with that child as a teenager. Evil, non Christian, yes, but it helped to take the sting out of my inability to resolve the situation with reason and kindness 😜
I have no problem yelling at a stranger's kid. Like mother like son 😠
You are not over reacting❤ He's going to do that to the wrong person and things wont turn out so nicely for her. You are an amazing person❤ you handled that amazingly❤ oh , venting is good for your soul❤
That’s the parents fault, not the child’s fault. He will go through life being told everything he does is okay and it won’t end well. Kudos to you for getting out of there safely. Unhinged women can be dangerous.
I agree!!! Parents need to understand in the early years teaching right and wrong is important.... that will go a long way in life for this kiddo
Wow Bunny you were waaaaay nicer than I would have been! And I most certainly would have been making that phone call !
I have learned that when someone lacks control or basic understanding then getting mad on my part does nothing..... it is just a waste of air.... so i instead just removed myself....
I'm sorry that you had to go.threw that be safe out there . I pray your days get better. HAVE a bless day.
I took some time before releasing this so I could calm down and watch it again with a clear mind..... all has been better since this bad day!! I like to believe that overall people are very good.. and the fact that in all my years this is the only time I have had an encounter like this does restore my hope....
@BunnyPlaysHere Amen. THAT GENERATION. NEEDS TO LEARN RESPECT. AND THE PROBLEM IS THE PARENTS. ITS VERY SAD. WELL KEEP HER IN PRAYER THAT GOD WILL TOUCH HER HEART TO SEE THAT SHE WILL HELP HER SON GROM GOING THE WRONG WAY IN LIFE. AMEN
Wow. Some people just don't care and that's what's wrong with the world. Sorry you went through that.
I agree.. it is hard sometimes to determine why people do what they do but man... can they do that not toward not only me but other people in general....
I’m a Grandma and that Mom should have kept her kid In check. I would have made him apologize . She clearly has no respect for anyone. I’m disgusted by her behavior and lack of parenting skills. Even though you shouldn’t have had to leave. This was probably a great decision who knows where it could have gone otherwise.
You’re a good kind soul!
i always try to be kind and positive
You are really good. The first incident I would have moved on from. The second, I would have told the mother, "If your kid touches me again, I'm going to touch you."
I don't ultimately believe that violence is the answer because i will never jeopardize my own freedom for the action or lack of action of others .... instead i protect my own peace by walking way and leaving.... it was faster than calling the cops in this instance...
Oh hell no Bunny. I'm sorry, absolutely not.
Then I would have said you know what then I have every right to punch you.
Here you go. Here's a repeat and a payback.
Yeah totally. Yes, it's all about being respectful but it's all about also protecting yourself and with you being out there by yourself. Protect yourself girl. Don't take no s*** off people.
And girl, don't worry about offending somebody. You stand up for yourself. Totally stand up for yourself. Screw these Karen's....
I simply could not have let this go so you are a better person than I am!😡
Oh, my gosh! I'm a grandmother and a very soft on punishment but this takes the cake. He is a brat and yes, he is going to have a bad life because of bad parenting (which is an understatement of gigantic proportions). I think you handled it well. I don't know how old this child was but if he was over 7 or 8, I probably would've called the police.
Oh my!!! Unfortunately I really think we all need to adopt a 1 strike policy. When she said that her kid could do anything the first time. That would have been It for me. "well then lady, if he touches me another time, I'm going to have to make a report and btw, take your picture right now to document!"
You were 100% nicer than I would have been…
At the end of the day I was firm and said what i needed to realized it was falling on deaf ears and moved on..... it was soooo frustrating but people are so weird these days beyond words i wouldn't ever want to spiral into anything more
I would have been snarky back to that kid ! However, if we did that she’d go after us. That kid is out of control. I’m glad you’re okay.
Good for you dealing with those rude and inappropriate people!!!! Sorry you had to encounter them. Karma will get the parents for raising their child so inappropriately.
I am a firm believer that we get back what we put out... positivity always reigns supreme.... so sharing this i don't want to play the victim but rather take responsibility also for my own reactions.....
There’s a book written by William Glasser called Reality Therapy. And the best way to lead, guide, correct… people is by using reality. And reality is best done when they are a child. The “mother” (yes, I meant it to be in quotes) obviously hasn’t had reality hit her soon enough to realize the way she is messing up her child. The abusive child will have reality hit him when he does this with someone else that doesn’t have your restraint.
it is sad that during the early years when we usually learn right and wrong that this kid is learning that right is what he wants vs what is best for everyone simply by keeping his hands to hisself.. that is a parenting misstep for sure
Please don't feel bad for sticking up for yourself! And what happened to you was unlawful. You should have called the police!!!
Calling the cops could have taken much longer than just removing myself from the issue... at the end of the day people can be volatile and i don't want any part of that
I’m so sorry that this happened. You may not have had your finest hour (I doubt that since you have remorse) but you were still were more classy than those obnoxious people. I’m also sad to report that this behavior is becoming more prevalent. It is so sad that people are doing such a disservice to the little people they’ve been entrusted with.
That is bonkers!!! I would be embarrassed if I were that mom but also know I would never let my kid act that way. I am sorry you had that interaction with either of them. I hope karma finds that mom real quick.
Ooooh, one of us would be going to jail!
You absolutely deserve to vent and to be horrified by this kid.
I won't ever react in a way that will cost me my freedom.. people are not worth it.. i can remove myself....
Omg wow yes it was an assault! I am s so sorry you had that experience. My neighbors 4 year old son threaten to kill me waving a stick at me in front of his mother. Mom said “remember we don’t take to people like that”. WHAT!!! Luckily they moved soon after!
Bless your heart. I am sorry this happened to you.
It’s OK because ultimately I was able to walk away. It’s just really unfortunate that this happens if it would’ve happened to an elderly person I’m pretty sure it would’ve seriously hurt them. I had a bruise for a few days. This kind of behavior exist, but I am very happy that I have only encountered it once while traveling.
I think you are completely justified and as you said, going off the rails on this one. I would probably have lost my entire mind.
I don't like to lose it on people.... it not only raises my blood pressure which isn't great but it also doesn't do much if a person literally doesn't care.... .
Just greatful it wasn't the mom and you didn't get hurt. Hang in there
I am glad the mom didn't get violent also... people these days are so incredibly unpredictable.... you never know what someone will do or is capable of.... which is scary
