Baltimore woman took action when she saw her son hanging out with violent demonstrators Monday.

The woman, identified by ABC affiliate WMAR as the boy's mother, was watching television when she saw her son throwing rocks at police, the station reported.

She went to find him in the crowd and the confrontation turned physical. The woman was caught on camera grabbing the boy and smacking him in the face.

"Are you kidding me?" she's heard saying. The station did not identify her by name.

"If you get them separated, and you get their family member, someone they respect, to lay into them," he said. "I don't think that they're going to listen to anybody other than their parents or someone in their family that they respect."

Fifteen officers were injured Monday when violent groups threw bricks, rocks and other objects at police.

About 75 to 100 school-age children were involved in the violence, police said, as they urged
