Washington dad discovers his son is bullying smaller kids. He decided to teach his son a harsh lesson: ‘So, you think you’re big and bad, right?’

Boosted Speed Demon (@boostedspeeddemon), based in Spokane, Washington, found out that his son has allegedly been bullying other children at his school. To straighten him out, the content creator decided to teach his son a lesson that he won’t forget anytime soon.

“So, I’m 6’4” and 220lbs. And I raised my son to not deal with bullies—to stand up to bullies and to be good to women,” the content creator shared on TikTok. Known for his car videos, Boosted Speed Demon took a break from his usual content to talk about his son’s alleged bullying issue.

“And instead, he decided that he was not only going to bully a kid half of his size but also bully a girl, who is half of his size, and tell her vile a** things like she should kill herself,” the father alleged. He panned the camera to his son, wearing boxing gloves and an open-face headguard. The content creator said his son would go outside with him for a spar.

“And in my day, my dad would’ve just beat the s*** out of me with bare fists. But because I’m not him, I’m going to give you the opportunity to learn a real lesson without getting hurt,” he added. The content creator wanted his son to understand what it feels like to be helpless against somebody bigger. Other social media personalities whose loved ones got bullied expressed that bullies should get a taste of their own medicine, and that’s what this father is trying to do.

A lesson against bullying

Boosted Speed Demon was wearing 16oz gloves and told his son to come forward. He commented, “So, you think you’re big and bad, right?” The boy denied, hesitant to come forward. The father added, “Oh, suddenly, you don’t think you’re big and bad when you have somebody bigger and badder than you standing in front of you, huh?” Then, he asked his son to hit him in the face. The boy refused.

The father insisted, asking his son to hit him as hard as he could in the face. His son reiterated that he didn’t want to hit him. Regardless, the father said that his son wouldn’t get in trouble for hitting him, and told his son to throw a punch again. He warned his son that if he didn’t throw a punch, he would be hit instead. So his son threw a weak punch in his face.

Unsatisfied by the weak swing, the father encouraged his son to hit him as hard as he could. With a shaky fist, he claimed he was already hitting as hard as he could, but he wasn’t putting all his weight into it. Eventually, the father threw a left hook to his son’s head. The boy flinched, hurt by the punch.

“That’s what it feels like to get punched in the face,” the father said. He told his son that because he likes to bully other kids and girls, he should try hitting his father again. The boy said he “didn’t want to be a bully.” So, the content creator asked why he bullied the other children. But before the boy could respond, the father threw a punch in his face.

He’s making sure it won’t happen again

He asked his son if it felt good to be bullied by somebody bigger, and the boy said no. The boy promised he wouldn’t bully other kids again. Then, he reminded his son, “You are 5’10” and 160lbs at thirteen years old. Everybody is smaller than you.” If it happened again, his father threatened to put him in his place. The video went viral overnight on social media, with more than three million likes on TikTok.

The content creator posted a follow-up video regarding his son’s bullying issue. He claimed his son is currently writing apology letters to both children allegedly affected by the bullying. In addition to the apology letters, the content creator also promised to put his phone number on the back so the affected children can give his contact details to their parents.

“In the event that this happens again outside the school and the school can’t contact me, that the parents can contact me directly,” the content creator explained. He said that the letters were the “final phase” of his son’s punishment for bullying. The content creator added, “And he’s going to learn that bullying does not exist in this house.” While some dads teach kids not to bully, others teach them how to defend themselves. This California comedian shared how his dad prepared him for bullying, which subsequently launched his stand-up career.
