Son Regrets Punching Mom

The plaintiff says the defendant is her son. She claims he punched her in the face and put her in a chokehold during a recent argument, so she’s suing for emotional distress, the cost of a car, and tires. The defendant admits he hit his mother but insists it was in self-defense. He’s countersuing because he claims his mother lied about his biological father. #JudgeMathis #RealityTV #Court

he admitted to hitting his mom, yet the judge “doesn’t know who to believe”

[@tincredible]

The judge knows that the son hit the mom, but the judge doesn't know who the aggressor was (i.e. who struck first). That's an issue unto itself because legally, the son has the same right to self-defense here as he would if any other adult had struck him. The right to self-defense isn't cancelled just because of the familial relationship between the parties. Regarding self-defense, the only thing that matters is whether the mom posed an imminent threat to the son's person in that moment. I think people have a gut reaction to this because we live in a culture where there is no stigma associated with parents hitting children, but there is a stigma attached to offspring hitting parents. Perhaps if we worked to normalize a society that stigmatizes hitting ANY human being for reasons other than self-defense or sport/recreational boxing, these types of cases would be rarer.

I left the viewing feeling as though the alleged acts, were somehow given justification by Judge Mathis. The Mother's failure to tell her son (THE RAW), about his Father was out of love for her son. But furthermore, the Mother's life according to her testimony, happened to a CHILD, who knocked it out the box as an adult to make sure that HER child did not suffer the same brokenness. And quite honestly the son has no right, nor place to judge as a child...sounded as though e was MORE than well cared for. Bottom line...there is NEVER a justification for striking a parent...PERIOD!!!! I am ashamed of Judge Mathis on this issue, and feel that this ruling will further create other children to believe that they have rights to assault and attack their parents lives. He would NEVER have struck his Mother, nor even thought to do so!. SHAME!!!!

I am so disappointed with Judge Mathis for basically telling this boy how wonderful he is after knowing he PUNCHED his mother; no matter the reason. There was a time that alone would have caused him to go off on the son/daughter saying since you know everything and you're so grown, get out and get your own. It appears Judge Mathis has allowed the opinions of others to dictate how he responds to the parent/child relationship. This boy could have walked away to never return to his mother's home if she assaulted/attacked him. He didn't because he likes the things she does for him and the gifts she gives. He's highly manipulative.

Exactly. Everyone is saying how the son was putting on an acting job for the judge, when the Oscar clearly goes to the mom. She is so full of it, she put her hands on a grown man. Why she didn't do all that with that dude that raped her. She did it ro her son, because she sees his father when she looks at him. That's not the son's fault. He is the blessing that came from that traumatic experience. Move on women and work on rebuilding a better relationship with your son.
