A video shows
Michael Singleton being dragged from the protests and whacked by his
mother, Toya Graham, after she saw him on television and recognized a
key piece of clothing.
"What
caught my eye was his sweatpants," she told ABC News. "Even though he
had on all black, I knew those sweatpants he had on, they had a stripe
on the side of it and then his eye contact met mine. And I knew that was
my son."
Though
he was visibly annoyed and tried brushing off his mom in the video that
has now gone viral, the 16-year-old recognizes that she was just
looking out for him.
"I’m
like, 'Oh man! What is my momma doing down here?'" Michael told ABC
News, laughing while thinking back to the moment his mom nabbed him
Monday afternoon.
"All
my friends know my mother. Every time they see her they’re like, 'Toya
coming.' Oh, yeah she’s coming. Everybody better get straight," he said.
