A disturbing TikTok video of a little boy being slapped across the face and called an antigay slur by his babysitter has gone viral.
In the 7-second clip, the boy can be seen doing the “Savage” TikTok dance alongside a little girl. Suddenly out of nowhere, his babysitter smacks him upside the head and says, “You don’t do that sh*t! F*ck is wrong wit you? Gay ass bitch!”
The stunned boy falls back then holds his cheek and immediately stops dancing.
The video was originally uploaded by Twitter user @ylo_gang_ along with the caption, “I’m crying,” presumably laughing at the child being abused.
How about we take this to the next level?

Thankfully, few others found it funny. In fact, most were absolutely horrified by the babysitter’s behavior.
It’s like some parents would rather their son grow up traumatized than feminine. She has such a toxic idea of what masculinity is that she wants to enforce it on him at that young of an age. Like he’s a kid let him dance

whats funny? it’s literally child abuse… i hate toxic parents then they get all mad when their child grows up and distance themselves from them.

this isn’t funny. it’s sad. that the poor boy can’t do a tiktok dance without having hands put on him for being “too feminine” and being called out of his name. i’m begging..don’t have kids if you aren’t fit to properly care for them.

When the boy’s mother and godmother saw the video, they, too, were upset.
“My godson comes from a loving home & whether he’s gay or not we love him regardless,” the godmother said in a tweet.
She went on to explain the boy’s mother wasn’t aware about the incident until after she saw the video.
“We always let him be himself,” the godmother continued. “His mom thought she could trust this person to watch them for 10mins & this happened.”
This is my Godson & the person slapping him is not his mom, this person was supposed to be babysitting. Moms wasn't aware of what happened until I showed her this. My godson comes from a loving home & whether he's gay or not we love him regardless. The cops- https://t.co/bfWsPN1tvL

Shortly after that, the godmother posted a video of the boy’s mother explaining that the person behind the camera was actually the boy’s aunt.
“Everybody thinks it’s me and everybody was saying all these negative things about me,” she said. “You know, I’m not worried about none of that. My son is fine, I know he’s good over here. I know he’s being loved right.”
“I’m just hoping and praying they don’t take my babies away, cause I’m not ready to lose them,” she adds.

According to the family, police were notified about the incident and the aunt plans to turn herself in.

The vile, evil bitch. I’m a great believer in Khama – she’ll get a massive slap back, one way or another.

What country is that in? Report that to police and get the Aunt a record for child abuse.

According to a Tweet from Deonna D’elle, this occurred in Los Angeles and the police have already been called. In fact, the local press is all over the story. Here’s her Tweet:
“For the record y’all, she’s been reported, news outlets in LA have been made aware and have all her info. We did wtf needed to be done! Whether y’all agree or not. Go have a Good Friday and stay off this bird app.”

@ryanM
Thank you!

I still feel bad for the kid. It doesn’t seem that Mom is ok with the possibility of her son being gay either.

Were the mother not responsive & the aunt not planning to turn herself, I’d say call Child Protective Services ASAP. This is the kind of homophobic and transphobic violence that so many children have to endure. His hateful aunt attacked him for being himself, in front of his little sister, traumatizing both of them. I hope she never has kids and that his mother is serious about supporting him and loving him for who he is.

Countdown to the inevitable moron who will blame President Trump for this……4, 3. 2, 1…………..
olfwob
At least we already found the moron who mentioned him first.

@olfwob LOL!!!!!
Mack
@olwob You hit the nail on the head. He is truly a moron.
Cam
So you see a child being abused and your first knee jerk instinct is to quickly defend Trump.
Maybe you should look into therapy.

This is the a article about an abused child not a moronic man child.

If that was my kid, that bitch would be in the hospital right now.
sonic_source
Agreed. Sister or not, that woman would spend some time in the hospital for treating my child so horribly. No matter what mom says, that kid is emotionally scarred for life…the only question is how deeply.
ScottOnEarth
You are definitely not alone on that.

arrest and execute the rotten hag that slapped him
ryanM
So thankful for that godmother. She (and the uncle) did exactly what godmothers are supposed to do: protect the child when his parents aren’t around. What’s especially disturbing is that the aunt didn’t just slap the poor kid, but was so proud of herself that she uploaded the video. I don’t know how the mother feels about her son’s playful behavior, but it’s heartening to know that others — including the godmother, CPS and the entire city of Los Angeles — are now keeping things in check.

If that was my kid, there would be no need for sis to turn herself in. She could be found in ICU after I beat her senseless for doing something like that to my kid.

If anyone slapped my child, no matter gender, that person would be bitch slapped into the next three stages of hell. I might wind up in jail for defending my child, but her stay in recovery would last far longer than my jail term
Gary Q VV
Holy banana peels, Batman! This ‘beeauch’ aunt needs serious therapy during her incarceration. And, it’s known that prisoners hate child abusers, so there’s no doubt she’ll be slapped around by her fellow inmates.

Holy Crap. I am the most easygoing person in the world, but after seeing this I want to hunt that C-nt babysitter down and drown her in her own backward nonsense.
While I tend to be a pacifist, I want that bitch to die.
