A mum from Leeds has been praised by other parents for the savage way she responded when she found her son was picking at someone at school.
Melissa Wade from Armley in Leeds, found out her son Luke, 10, had destroyed another boy's coat by cutting the sleeves with scissors.
The mum-of-six was so disappointed and angry at her son that she wanted to teach him a lesson about bullying that he would never forget.
Finely was due to get a new coat as a Christmas present, as punishment Melissa gave it to her son's victim as a form of apology, Leeds Live reports.
Melissa said: "I am so angry and disappointed in him, it is disgusting what he has done and I want to make it very clear to him that it is not acceptable.
"There is no way it was an accident.
"We do not condone bullying in any way, and he will learn the hard way."
Melissa took to social media this morning (Friday) and posted what had happened to a Facebook community group leedspace in a bid to find the parents of the victim.
Finley's mum wants to apologise to the parents and assure them that their son will be receiving Finley's brand new coat.
This is the first bullying incident Melissa has been informed of and she has been assured by the school that it had been dealt with.
However, that wasn't enough for the outraged mum who wants to ensure her son has understood the impact his behaviour could cause.
'It will send the message that you cannot treat people like that'
The 27-year-old said: "Myself and Finley's dad have discussed that you never know somebody's situation. That family could have scrimped and scraped to buy that coat.
"He's going to be really upset, but it will send the message that you do not and cannot treat people like that.
But the angry parents won't just stop there if the bullying continues and have already put got a plan in motion if such incidents should happen again.
Melissa said: "Finley will be warned if he does anything like this again. The next time it will be his PlayStation he is handing over."
Many social media users applauded Melissa's parenting.
One person posted: "Brilliant attitude, as opposed to 'my little Johnny can do no wrong' or variations of that."
Another posted: "That is how a responsible parent should react, well done. It is a shame there aren't more parents like you."
The 10-year-old went to school today without knowing about his mum's intentions - but he was forced to hand over the coat at the end of school today.
