We’ve recently seen how tragically things can end for children who are bullied, as in the case of young Javits Frimpong, who was shot and killed while running from his bullies in the Bronx. But one dad is determined that his son will never be the one causing that kind of harm.
The father who goes by Boostedspeeddemon on TikTok, posted a video explaining how he found out his 13-year-old son who is 5”10 and 160lbs was bullying kids at his school. “So I’m 6’4 and 220 pounds, and I raised my son to not deal with bullies, to stand up to, bullies and to be good to women, and instead he decided that he was going to not only bully, a kid half of his size, but also bully a girl who is half of his size and tell her vile a** things like she should k*ll herself.”
The furious father then jumped to a clip showing him in the backyard with his son, all suited it up in boxing gear, the gloves and head support. “So this is him standing here in his new boxing gear that he’s going to go outside with me with. You see that look on his face right there? That’s the same helplessness that he made those kids feel.” The dad continued to explain, “In my day, my dad would have just beat the sh*t out of me with bare fists. But because I’m not him, I’m going to give you the opportunity to learn a real lesson without getting hurt. So let’s go work.”
The clip the shows the dad trying to get his son to deliver some blows to him. “You like to bully kids and girls? Everybody is smaller than you!” The boy cries as he tells his father he does not enjoy the effects of feeling bullied.
While there were a few parents to disagree with this way of parenting, the video has since gained 47.9M views on TikTok with majority of the comments supporting the dad for condemning his son’s behavior at school.
Many commenters even shared their own stories, saying they wished more parents would have talked to their kids about bullying. While others said they feel healed watching that clip.
Now since the clip when viral the father gave an update, sharing how some folks have called CPS on him, which he was not all worried about. He even made a few other follow-up clips one where he’s seemingly emotional while sharing that his son wrote a letter to the kids he bullied and they accepted his apology.
In one his final videos, he’s shares a video of his cute son where he not only confirms his child is “fine” but praises the young boy for actually being a good kid that just needed to be taught a lesson.
