While not blaming the child due to his apparent age, she nevertheless felt a message should be sent for parents not to teach children that violence of that or any other nature is acceptable or funny.
“I don’t fault the kid. Like, he’s so young,” she said. “I really do fault the adult in this situation for not saying something.”
This is not the first time Mackey goes viral for her interactions with children being captured on camera. In August 2023, a young girl captured the hearts of her audience by interrupting the reporter while she was preparing to record, asking her if she could hug her.
The video capturing the tender moment has almost 10 million views at the time of writing.
“Disappointing.” Netizens took to social media to lament the lesson the boy’s father taught him that day
