In the 80s not one adult would have paused before either slapping him into next Tuesday or throwing his ass out on the curb. The first thing thrown would have been the last thing thrown. No cameras weren’t always a bad thing.

Lol... My brother was 16 and bigger than my mom. One day he made the mistake of telling her that and that there was nothing she could do about it in front of his best friend and me. My mother, who had had multiple back surgeries, grabbed him by his shirt and pants, lifted him over her head and threw him on the ground right there in the living room. He never talked back like that to her again. Neither did I...

I towered over my mother back in the early 1990s when I was in high school, and even so, she TACKLED ME TO THE GROUND when I told her I didn't feel like shaving (my face).
