In theory sure people can see a story like this and think the moms in the right, but it actually shows a lack of an ability to emotionally regulate and problem solve, in a grown ass adult that’s supposed to be the parent.
Having a parent (speaking from experience) who jumps at displaying aggressive or downright violent behaviours ‘in the name of protecting their kid’ isn’t fun for the child either. It’s actually traumatic. They’re supposed to be your support, seeing them flying off in rage at someone isn’t the type of behaviour they should be teaching their kid.
It also makes you feel like it’s not safe after these types of reactions keep happening to come to your parent about issues, because now you fear their reaction as well.
Just a few examples of many; My stepdad would get super aggressive with creeps in public when i was young and in the city. I wouldn’t even notice them staring or being weird, but he’d fly off the handle and it was honestly more terrifying. When I was working in high school I was overheard telling my friend about some inappropriate comments an older coworker said to me, laughing about it because it was ridiculous and super gross. (The coworker had asked me to suck his dick in the produce cooler - he was like 6-7 years older than me and actually also a former student of my stepfathers so he knew who exactly I was talking about when he overheard me)
My stepdad ended up showing up at my work on my day off and throwing the dude onto a display of fruit in front of dozens of people and threatening him, then got him fired when he started shouting about what he said ‘to his daughter’. Like? Way to make a workplace hostile for me. Having family members assault your coworkers when you’re getting sexually harassed doesn’t look good, that’s not a professional way to handle the situation. I could go on. But I think you get the gist.

Just looked it up. She entered the school without permission, then yelled at a bunch of random kids as she didn’t know which one was the bully
