An angry mother is being applauded after she was caught on camera slapping her son and ripping him out of Baltimore riots on Monday.
WMAR-TV captured footage of the woman screaming at the young man dressed from head to toe in black, to "take the mask off" and telling him to "get over here" as she slaps him.
By late Monday night, the video had become so popular that Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts referenced the incident during a press conference, CBS Baltimore reported. He said that many of the rioters were young people from nearby high schools and he encouraged parents to tell their children to go home.

Baltimore deals with devastation, nation with hard questions
"And if you saw in one scene, you had one a mother who grabbed their child who had a hood on his head and she started smacking him on the head because she was so embarrassed. I wish I had more parents who took charge of their kids tonight," Batts told reporters. "I think these were youth coming out of the high school and they thought it was cute to throw cinder blocks at the police department, and address it that way."
Charles Payne, Fox Business Network contributor, tweeted that the Baltimore woman is "mother of the year."
