She Went After Two Boys Who Took Her Daughter’s Toys And Wound Up Getting Scolded By The Boys’ Mom For Chasing Children
Have you ever been yelled at by another adult while trying to defend your kid from theirs?
One woman recently chased after two boys who took her three-year-old daughter’s toys and ended up getting scolded by their mom.
She has a three-year-old daughter who is semi-non-verbal. The only words in her vocabulary right now are ‘Mama’ and ‘Dada,’ and she mostly just makes a few noises to communicate what she wants.
She runs a booth at a farmer’s market and often takes her daughter to work with her because she’s quiet and well-behaved.
“I set up my stand, and I have a little table and chair for her ‘stand’ too,” she explained.
“She puts her toys out and works her booth like me. It’s cute, and other kids go to her booth and play with her.”
One day, while she and her daughter were all set up at the farmer’s market, her daughter had some toys and a special bubble wand they had just gotten on vacation at her table. All of a sudden, two boys around eight and nine years old went up to her daughter’s table and started playing with her toys.
Usually, her daughter doesn’t mind when other kids come to play, but these boys began getting rough with the toys and banged them on the table.
When her daughter called out to her and looked like she was about to cry, she scooped up her daughter and asked the boys to be gentle with the toys. They told her no, so she said she’d put the toys away.

The boys began yelling that the toys were theirs, took them, and ran off. She started briskly following behind them while carrying her daughter, telling them to return them. Suddenly, a woman grabbed her by the arm and asked her why she was chasing her son.
“I told her to never touch me and [that] her sons were stealing my daughter’s toy,” she recalled.
“She said I am a grown adult, and I shouldn’t chase children, and her sons can play with that toy if they want to. I said I had no issue with them playing with it until they started banging it on the table and said they wouldn’t give it back.”
The woman said the boys could play with the toys if they wanted, and then they’d give them back. She told the woman that wouldn’t work for her, took the toys from her sons’ hands, and walked away. As she left, she heard the woman curse at her under her breath.
Later on, her sister told her she was wrong to take the toys from the boys’ hands, but she didn’t want anything to do with them for the rest of the day.
Did she do anything wrong, or was she right to take the toys from those kids?
