A series of TikTok videos shows a person identifying as Leanne Lawson describing a confrontation with children in a park and admitting to hitting them after they used a slur. The clips include Lawson stating they would respond the same way to others who use similar language.
Self-filmed admission
In one video, Lawson recounts sitting in “Lewis Park” when “this group of kids came up and started hassling me… calling me a t*****.” Lawson says, “They used words they weren’t supposed to, and I smacked one of them upside the head.”
In a follow-up clip, Lawson adds, “I smacked a couple kids upside the head for saying words they shouldn’t be saying.”
“I’m going to react like that”
Lawson states the response would not be limited to minors: “It wouldn’t have mattered if they were kids. Anybody talks to me like that now, and I’m going to react like that… I’m going to smack them upside the head.” The video references eating “some charcuterie in the f**king park” when the exchange began.
Claim about a parent’s response
Lawson also claims that “this kid’s mom came up and [said], ‘I’m so sorry about my son,’” adding that Lawson warned, “your son better not talk crazy like that or he’s going to get his head knocked off.”
