One woman's response to the Baltimore Police's request that parents take their children out of the thick of violent protests has some people calling her "mom of the year."
On Monday evening, Baltimore Police tweeted a plea to parents to remove their kids from demonstrations protesting the death of Freddie Gray. The protests had turned violent Monday afternoon. During the violence, at least 15 police officers were injured and people set vehicles and buildings on fire. Nearly 200 individuals were arrested.

Police said several juveniles were among the aggressors.
One youth who was among the protesters was in for quite a surprise when what appears to be his mother showed up to take him home.
Several news organizations and bystanders filmed the encounter as the woman yells at the young man and hits him several times around his head.
At one point, she grabs him by the scruff of the neck and pushes him away from the protests.
According to some social media accounts of the incident, the woman was angry because she believed her son had been throwing bricks or rocks at police.
The mother was reportedly watching television at home when she saw her son throw the rocks and decided to go out and get him herself.
Many appreciated her no-nonsense response to his alleged behaviour.
One mother said she would likely do something similar if her teenage sons were involved in a situation that provoked police.
Some couldn't help but make fun of the young man.
Others failed to see the humour in the situation.
Some even found it ironic that the woman would use violence considering the situation in Baltimore.
