Texas Mother Kicks Out Son

The Nov. 8 presidential election in the U.S. has divided not only the nation but also families as some members voted for Republican candidate Donald Trump and others for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Examples include Caitlyn Jenner and her two younger daughters Kendall and Kylie, Katy Perry and her parents, and even the outgoing President Barack Obama and some of his relatives.

However, one viral video showed a Texas mother kick out of her house her young son who voted for Trump in a mock election in school. The bawling black boy is seen pleading with his mother not to kick him out of the house, but the mother is not moved by his tears.

The video shows the mother has packed his things in a suitcase which was ready by the doorway and the kid given a sign which stated, “My mom kicked me out because I voted for Donald Trump.” After giving him the sign, the boy is seem outside the house and lugging his suitcase and the sign while still crying.

The two-minute, 15-second video has become viral when it was posted on Friday on Facebook, getting more than 10 million views in less than 24 hours, 12News reported. On YouTube where the video was shared by Alex Williams, the video has close to 200,000 hits.

But while the Fort Bend County woman was heavily criticized for what she did to her young son which traumatized the boy, a detective that ABC spoke to said the video does not show any criminal wrongdoing. Although the content of the video is disturbing, no charges had been filed by the woman – likely black – who feels strongly against Trump because of his stand against minorities.

The country’s Sheriff Office investigated the incident and discovered it was just a joke. Detective Joe Luera said he met the family off-site and the boy appears to be in good health. The mother has apologized for the video.
