If there are 3 children on 1?
At a social function a 5 year old boy was being held and forced to go with 3 others pulling him by his arm. The boys mother at first said to the 3...You guys, let him go. They ignored her. Following that exchange, the boys Mother said to the one who's name she knew...Michael, let him go! She said it loudly with a tone to her voice to which Michaels Mother yelled at her "Don't be Fing yelling at my son like that! She was literally 4 feet away from where the kids were pulling the boy on a stone staircase. To me it was a dangerous situation and needed to be stopped. The Mother of the boy who was doing the forcing said your child was hitting earlier. Like this was a good reason to allow her child to grab and pull the boy on these stairs.
I thought the Mother over reacted and sent the boy doing the forcing a bad message that anything he does is ok. What do you think? The Mom who reprimanded them to let him go said it once and they just ignored the boys pleas to let him go. Seemed unfair and a no win situation with family.
I cannot agree that the Mom who said Let him go acted improperly. You ask once and if no response then take action. She allowed the children the opportunity to do the right thing as the boy was also saying let me go. Had she grabbed at the 3 children there might have been a physical fight. She was on it and on the second request the children released him.
And as for grabbing and saying that was crossing a line...there's no line when you're taking your child on a 3 on 1 situation..that is not child's play and she really would have been within rights to do that as it was a stone staircase. Any one of us would not sit by and watch this go on..I was more or less just wanting to hear an objective point of view...other then mine.

It seems to me that both parents there acted inappropriately. If I saw my child being dragged by three other children up a stone staircase I would have gotten up and stopped it immediately. I also would have made sure that the other mother knew what was happening. She was completely in the wrong for pointing out the dragged child's bad behavior as if it was a justified reason for him to be mistreated. Two wrongs do not make a right. Those types of parents irritate me to no end, all children misbehave, including our own and all children need to be guided in the right direction not given reasons and excuses for their behavior.

I think if the second mother was not interested in controling her child then the first was in no way wrong to do so herself esspecially when they were putting her son in a dangerous situation... if she were to have grabbed the child or pulled them off her son, then a line would have been crossed.. however this didn't happen from what i read, so she was in the right. As for the other mother... well there is just no helping some people... however she should be ashamed of herself for over reacting and using that language infront of those children. although i think with a mother like that, no wonder those boys didn't listen.

I think the mother did overreact.
The mother was looking out for her child, and the other mother shouldn't of givin up on telling him to leave him alone. If you cant discipline your child who is mistreating another, dont be surprised if the other mother steps in to protect theirs.

some parents have goggles on and no respect for other peoples children or how their children are treating others.
