Latrisha Thompson: ‘Mama Bear’ Tracks Down Bully Who Stole Her Daughter’s Phone, Footage Goes Viral [Video]

One mom is making headlines for her unconventional intervention with a 14-year-old boy who stole from her daughter. According to CBS-58, Latrisha Thompson‘s daughter was waiting for the school bus when the teenage boy pushed her down and stole her cell phone. Like any parent, Thompson was mortified and outraged. So, she decided to track down the bullying thief. Apparently, the phone has a built-in GPS locator, so it wasn’t difficult to find him.

Now, her reaction after finding him has gone viral. The two-minute clip uploaded to World Star Hip Hop on Apr. 22 shows Thompson holding the boy in a headlock as she waits for police. Although she regrets the explicit language she used in the clip, she explained her adrenaline-fueled actions during a recent interview with the local news station.

“Mama bear came out,” she explained in a recent interview.

Throughout the video, she can be heard spewing expletives at the young bully while holding him in a headlock. She stated that she would hold him until police arrived. Thompson and the bully go

“Ya’ll don’t put your (profanity) hands on my (profanity) child,” Thompson yelled in the video. “It ain’t (profanity) sweet.”

“I got asthma,” the boy said.

“I don’t give a (profanity) what you got,” she replied. “My child got asthma. You didn’t give a (profanity).”

But, unlike other videos where parents have been seen fighting with teens, Thompson’s intentions were quite different. Instead of fighting with the young boy, she insisted that she was doing him a favor. She lectured him about the consequences of the risks he takes and how he could end up if he came across the wrong person.

Based on the decisions he’s making at such a young age, he could one day end up dead or behind bars. She wants him to do better. Although she’s aware of how dangerous it was to confront the teen, she adamantly insisted that she could not allow her child to be victimized.

“If you see a crime occurring, you don’t have to physically get involved,” she said. “You can still whip out your phone, call give a description of the suspect, say where you see this crime happening at. It’s my job to nurture and protect my child. Now I’m feeling I’m failing her because I can’t make her safe,” said Thompson. “We’ve gotta get these criminals off the streets.”

Thompson’s video has caught the attention of more than 700,000 viewers. Many have commended her for the courageous act and insist
