Her reaction is stirring up some debate, but Baltimore police are giving it their seal of approval.

"You had one mother who grabbed her child who had a hood on his head, and she started smacking him on the head because she was so embarrassed," Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said. "I wish I had more parents that took charge of their kids out there tonight."
