Shannon Cooper became famous online after sharing how she got back at her neighbor’s boy for messing with her cat. She spilled water on the kid after he poured water on her pet. Her tweet about it caused a big argument about who was right.
“My 10-year-old neighbor just threw a cup of water over my cat who was sitting on the fence minding his own business n laughed so I threw a basin of water over him from the window and now his dad is at my door going mental but I don’t see the problem, don’t touch my cat,” Cooper wrote on Twitter.
The social media post ignited a fiery discussion – some Twitter folks thought Shannon was out of line, while others felt the boy had it coming and blamed his dad for not teaching him manners. Then there’s a bunch who reckon both sides messed up, leaving no clear winner in this saga.
“Be careful because you could be charged with assault. It will not matter to a judge what the kid did to your cat. All that matters is that you assaulted a child with water. I’m just saying because not everyone will laugh,” one commented.
“Its v childish how you handled it you should had told the parents first so that they could punish their own kid… Like no that wouldn’t hurt a kid but at the same time as a parent myself ID LIKE TO HANDLE MY KID because no its not right the kid did that but its also not yours,” wrote another.
Meanwhile a third sided with the lady and defended her actions by commenting, “someone messes with my cat, they will be dealing with me.”
“Just goes to show you that if you don’t teach your kids respect, somebody else will!” another chimed in.
“I’m not mad, I think you did the right thing!! The kid was cruel to this poor kitty & deserved to be taught a lesson!! It was only water it’s not going to kill the little brat & hopefully it was a learning lesson!!!” another said.
Things took a strange turn when Shannon cleared up that her neighbor’s kid is actually 13 but just “looks 10.”
“[People] r so mad over this, the kid and his dad were laughing about it today, we r friends (also might I add the dad never knew what his son done which is why he was mad to begin with) also the kid is 13 he rlly looks fkn 10 lmao,” she added a comment to her post.
Shannon also mentioned that after the young boy drenched her cat, her neighbor got mad at her for retaliating with water on her son. However, there seemed to be no consequences for the boy’s actions against Shannon’s innocent pet.
