A California mom has been banned from a middle school after she barged into a classroom and threatened students who allegedly have been bullying her daughter.
The incident occurred Tuesday at Laguna Niguel Middle School. Christian Tinsley says although a number of boys have been picking on her daughter for some time, she reached her breaking point when the girl burst into tears as she was being dropped off that morning.
"She made a comment to me that if she wasn’t as strong as she was, she would have killed herself,” Tinsley says. "That’s when Mama Bear mode went into effect." In a video taken by a student, Tinsley can be seen telling the class, "She’s a girl. Y’all are boys, OK? If y’all bully my daughter, if you look at her the wrong way, if you breathe the wrong way, send your mom to me. Sisters, aunts, anybody over 18, I’ll f*** them all up. Do you understand me?... Leave my daughter alone. I’m not gonna say it again [...] Any mom, any sister can catch these hands, okay?” she added. “Ass whoopings. Ass whoopings! For free. For free! You don’t even have to pay for it!”
Then to reiterate her point, she was passed out “Free Ass Kicking” vouchers.
Although she was barred from entering the school, Tinsley says she doesn't regret standing up for her daughter. Tinsley claims her daughter has been targeted by racist, sexist and derogatory badgering since the beginning of the school year. And while school administrators have intervened, they haven’t done nearly enough.
“Kids are committing suicide every day because they’re getting bullied, I don’t want that for my daughter. So what do I do when my daughter says she’s afraid to go to school?” Tinsley said. “They can really affect other people and make this a hostile learning environment. Everyone deserves to be able to come to school every day and feel safe.”
What would you have done if you were in Tinsley's shoes? Have you ever dealt with a bully?
