Kathleen Smith gives some unusual parenting advice.

An upsetting video of an older woman ranting, giving disgusting suggestions about a misbehaving child she witnessed at a grocery store has gone viral. Identified as Kathleen Smith from Tomball, Texas, she suggests the mother could have done something so the child wouldn't have acted that bad.  

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - However, Smith went too far when she said the mom should just "kill it, give it away or leave it at home." These comments presented Smith with a large amount of negative backlash.

Smith's mother claims she was only trying to be funny in the video, in an off-cam interview by Mark Boyle of KPRC.

"I'm in the produce section just starting to make my way through the maze and this child starts screaming. I'm talking blood curdling, veins popping. It was bizarre and I thought, 'Okay, mom's going to get that under control. No," she said, describing the incident.

This Lent, are you doing good? Give something today --

Smith admits at some point during the incident, she prayed to the Baby Jesus for something to be wrong with the child and wanted to bring the mother to the wooden spoons and show how she should take action.

As her video was apparently not meant to become public or viral, she said she was not sorry for anything she said, with regards to her views on "proper" parenting.

Uploading her "not sorry" statement, she made a remark that parents "need" to make their kids afraid of them.

Smith appears to not be backing down from her initial response on how the mother responded to the misbehaving child or how viewers reacted. Instead, she is considering the idea of making a parenting blog, where she would post her tips because most parents are not doing enough in her perspective.

She refused interviews on the matter.
