Yea, I take back what I said even though the internet warrior in me is trying to chain the logic in my brain lol. If it is a skater park, I have no idea why she has a kid running loose. Obviously I don't know if the park is well signed, or if the kid might have been with the other lady watching and just legged it randomly, but she probably shouldn't bring a kid to such a place.
I still vehemently disagree about him hitting her back. Just take the hit like a man and carry on with your day. An unfortunate situation, but life goes on lol.

That was unnecessary. Plus, she should have been close by to her kid. I hate when parents just let their kids wander everywhere and when something bad happens them blame other people.

Small kids have terrible spatial awareness and run into people (and even furniture) continuously.

Honest question, if it was a man that hit him would you be saying that? She has some experience from the look of that punch, and she is still moving towards him when the video cuts out.

And the mother (who didn't even rush) was fuck away from the kid.
I know for sure I wouldn't let my kid roam in a skate park unless he was skating himself (and I'd keep a close eye on him just in case).
Not to make quick judgements from a video on YouTube, but she looks exactly like the type of woman who's used to attack men knowing that they are not going to retaliate. The way she initiated the confrontation is just too clear.

Assault. It was an accident on his end and he seemed apologetic. Absolute bullshit.
If it was me? Probably. Hard to say. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considerably more inclined to show civility and restraint towards a women. I guess, or I hope, a part of me would just appreciate it was a mother or fathers anger from seeing their child in pain, and just get on with my day. Unless of course they continued to come at me. There's a limit and line to everything.

I know women like her. Their parenting instincts only come into play when there is arguing, yelling or roughing up people is involved. Because that is easy especially when you have a kid involved. Actually raising kids and spending time with them is hard.

I don't really get this line of thinking. It takes concentration to do what he's doing. This is basically the equivalent of a WR slamming into staff on the sidelines when he's attempting to catch the ball in a football game.
Edit: Re-reading I probably took this the wrong way and you meant the little kid. My mistake.
I think he means the little kid, not the skater.
This is the problem. We don't even really know how he ends up reacting after the punch.
As for the doubters I agree this is clearly a skatepark. The cement platforms with metal edges, the rails that can be seen in the background at a lower elevation.
I've seen situations like this all the time at skateparks, usually worse because the tiny kid is on a kiddie bike or a scooter so moving at a faster pace and can actually injure the skater too. They move randomly and come out of nowhere. You can see the kid pretty much ran straight towards the skater, was probably looking back at mommy a moment earlier while running full-on.
In general skaters do an insane job of avoid these kids despite their randomness. His recovery was the best he could do in that situation.
20 years of skateboarding, in public places no less (since we never had a park) and I've never hit a pedestrian. And skaters are used to douchebags like this woman, which is why I don't think he probably retaliated.

Exactly.
If I don't pay attention to my kid and he runs in front of a car, it is my fault, not the driver's. But it is so much easier to not take any responsibility from your actions..

It probably isn't a stretch to say that she's done this type of thing before. People who lack self-control are well practiced in coming up with nonsensical justifications for their actions. The absurd comment about it being his birthday as a justification for escalating her anger is a telltale sign of it: the logic is a preemptive excuse for aggression that she's already decided to express physically.

I agree, but two things:
He's not supposed to be skating there FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON (edit. if it is a skatepark I am wrong and it's on the mom)
I'd have done the same thing as the mom because feelings.
If you don't want to get punched by an angry mom don't skate in busy public play places.
All things considered I'd say the punishment fits the crime and leave it at that.
Love that gaf has a defense force that is completely oblivious about how a parent would feel in this circumstance.
Or maybe they read the thread and knew it was a skate park.
Mom has every right to be upset, her son is crying. But her first instinct wasn't in care for her son or to even find out what happened. She went right to attack mode. She a hoodrat ratchet. I highly doubt you act that way in public, because you are not a hoodrat ratchet. Stop defending this nasty bitch.

I am both a parent and a skatboarder. I know both sides of the issue. However this is a skatepark and it was an accident. Furthermore the lack of attention on her kid is what led directly to this. Given the distance from her kid he could have just as easily ran into a parking lot, onto a baseball field, or even just into open grass where people have decided to play soccer or football.
There is no justification for escalating to situation by shoving and punching the skateboarder.

You know what? I would applaud that. I would have loved to see it.
Yet I think it takes more balls not to do it at that point.
Dumb bitch is LUCKY the guy probably didn't do anything after that.
This is what happens when you live in your own bubble and don't consider others like the entire skate park full of skaters.
No she doesn't. Kids cry all the time over the smallest fucking things because they are brought up to be little ********.
There is no excuse for this idiot mom.
There doesn't seem anyone who's actually responsible for that little kid within fifty feet. He comes from a totally different direction than either woman. Why's he running around a public place by himself? To take a swing at someone who's obviously going to feel bad about an accident involving a little kid is embarrassing when your lack of responsibility is what caused it to even be possible. Petulant shit.

As opposed to a defense force that is justifying violent reactions to relatively innocuous accidental occurrences? Anger alone doesn't give you the right to attack people.
This guy was skating in a skate park. Collisions happen. Violence in this scenario is no more justified than it would be if they'd been playing Frisbee in a park, volleyball on a beach, or football at a football field. Any unsupervised child running around in any of those environments is exposed to similar results.

My money is on the mother in a rematch.
I am curious as to why some people are blaming the collision on the child. Each had an equal right to be there. The Skater Man clearly was not looking where he was going, despite there being many kids and other people in the park. In case you were wondering, I'm calling him The Skater Man because calling him "dude" or "skater" implies he is not as responsible for his actions as another adult.
The Skater Man should take down that video. Why? Running over a child isn't funny, especially when the Skater Man would be legally at fault for hitting the child. People can say all they want about they want about the situation being an "accident." The fact is The Skater Man was more concerned about mugging for the camera than the safety of others. As an adult, he has a duty to exercise due caution. It doesn't matter if it is a skate park. He failed in that duty and, in fact, exercised zero caution. He can be held accountable if the child were injured. Children under 6 are by law 0% negligent. What does that mean? The Skater Man was 100% negligent.
And where was The Skater Man looking when this happened? At the camera. Then he collides with a child... And people are saying the child ran into him? The Skater Man wasn't looking. The video shows it ands he even says it. But the child should have been looking... Interesting.
You don't post a video on YouTube of making a child cry. You just don't. Real class act there.
I'm sorry if this offends the skaters out there. But you need to act like adults and be aware of the people around you if you skate in public areas.

Props to the skater guy for keeping his cool. Should definitely press charges against her.
The consensus is that it is a skatepark.
If it is, you may as well blame an ice skater on a rink.
Has anyone definitively figured this out and what the location is?
how do Ridiculous Poster Men like you get by in the real world?
If a kid runs onto a football field and gets knocked over by a player is it the players fault for not paying attention? This is essentially the same kind of situation. He's skateboarding in a skate park and concentrating on what he's doing. As a spectator it's your job to make sure you don't get in the way, and as a parent it should be your job to make sure your kid doesn't run off into a dangerous area.
You can see a rail for grinding from around the 5 second mark to the 7 second mark. I don't think there's any doubt that it's a skate park/plaza. Not sure where it is though.
Well, that was dumb... dude wasn't maliciously trying to hurt the kid. Mom needs to chill and look after her hurt child instead of throwing down with strangers.
Though I half-expect you're simply trolling for reactions (because LOL otherwise), so congrats.
Don't let your little kids run around skateparks....
