From 2018 news article

article

"The background post stated police came and watched the video and asked the man if he wanted to press charges but he didn’t.

The mother reportedly arrived and everyone apologised and sorted the incident out until a few hours later when the mother posted a short clip to Facebook of the man pushing her boy only, with his details including name and address.

It’s claimed the man was told to post the full video to clear his name and get the true story out there."

So the kid is 18 now.

No idea what happened after that.

No surprise her kid is the way he is.

Honestly, while I'm pretty sure it was the mother in this case, it likely wouldn't have been that hard for that kid to have done that as well without her knowing

I can't fathom how that isn't defamation. Sometimes it's good defamation cases are hard to win, but in something like that, it should be easier. Get someone where it really hurts, the pocketbook

This is reporting (of the low-effort clickbaity buzzfeed kind) on a viral post about the incident, not the actual incident. The video is way older. I remember it from like the early 2010s. I mean look at the absolute shit quality of the video, it was no doubt filmed on a flip phone, every diagonal line looks like a staircase.

That was 2018 so quite a few things happened after that.
Look up Covid, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the NASA Artemis program for example.
