Sheila saw her daughter being bullied at a play centre - what she did next made the girls cry and mums are applauding it

No parent wants to see their child get bullied, but one mum recently took things into her own hands. 

Sheila Doe was at a play centre with her two-year-old daughter when she noticed a group of older girls were being mean to her, so she decided to do something about it. 

In a clip shared on TikTok, which has been widely praised by fellow mums, Sheila said she went into the soft play area and got her revenge – a move which made the girls cry. 

Watch the video above.

The text over the clip read: "POV: Your inner teenager knows no bounds when it comes to your child."

Sheila explained that the older girls had made a den, like a cubby house, and wouldn't let her daughter Delilah in. 

"So, I just walked right through the den and kicked the whole thing down and they're all crying about it," she admitted.

In the caption she gave a bit more context to the situation, explaining that where the children had built their den made it impossible for her daughter to continue playing. 

"Can I just add that Delilah had to walk through their den to get to the actual slide, but they had built their den right the way around it," she wrote in the caption.

"Every time she went to go over they said she wasn't allowed and one of the girls tried to push her. Luckily, she caught me looking at her."

"These girls were around eight or nine so they knew what they were doing, in an area which is made for children four and under, with D being two at the time, I was gobsmacked!"

The video has clocked close to 200k views and plenty of mums applauded her for what she did. 

"Best mum ever," one person commented. 

Another wrote, "You're a great mum for that! She'll grow up knowing mummy will always be there for her when others aren't. Go you." 

"Not even ashamed to admit I've done this too," replied another mum. 

"This is why I can't go to soft play! My little is sensitive but her mamma ain't lol," commented one mum. 

The overall response from other mums was applauding her for what she did, with many admitting they would have done similar. 

One woman asked if the girls' mum said anything and Sheila replied, "Nope."
