As Gina O'Toole sat in the stands watching a fight break out among players in her teenage son's hockey game and seeing the referees do nothing, the Boston-area mom says she knew she had to do something. She also knew she had to take her pocketbook with her. "What was I supposed to do with it, throw it into the stands and say, 'Hey, could you hold this? I have to break up a hockey fight?'" O'Toole said today. Would you have gone on the ice to stop a fight?

Am starters side now Intel got an email from Iraq and said this mother in her kids should be ejected from the game for amber. You can't. Asked the -- to step into a melee between kids but -- job that's what pat. Permission you're just told -- that's the job of the -- To make sure that they are officiating the game in a way to keep sick kids -- So I -- and that's 6172666868. President to show us right now present -- little bit from the hockey mom on Good Morning America. Can you takers side. We -- we see. Tape or a minute or two that aren't don't mean it into the into that I am despite initially started in and then the M that's right now. Wrapped his -- is now. Jumped by two opposing you and I mean -- -- fifteen to twenty seconds. My head was in full progress before. My son came over and try to intervene to stop that by eight in -- just by agents progressively Boris isn't the troublemaker -- begin try to put -- -- break -- satisfying feeling going through your hockey mom and you know that you wait until that old joke you know took -- at a hockey game broke out in singles. Well exposed side you won 61726. -- its X eight -- what. Have we about a big burly -- that stormed the ice and guys screaming at the -- he had dad would be the end from the game. I laughed and because here we have a mom and her hero to hygiene inner pink jacket and her purse stolen in the ice. As of may and this -- the dad would he be banned. -- -- but -- need we be thinking about this story a lot differently I say yes. I think we are talking about a guy that guy would be ejected from every game naked play Alex Jack next with Michelle -- what do you think your on your side. All of well liked it got a little bit of what you're actually soccer ball so maybe it got to think I'd get to right so. Early that I'd. Really -- -- -- Spain in the June -- would have been can't. But I think about a month. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- It's totally uncalled all saw. Into the viral video a whole lot -- We're not a horrible -- eight minutes. Five minutes because I'll be apparent in tight. Andy at the local -- group -- up a lot of that aren't sports icon that's happened a lot. It can't and -- -- and a purpose and the rug like depicted in all idol premiere radio at -- aren't. Children. A lot of black and on the export quite well and you lot of parents stepped into again shall -- rest. I'm on the -- you know people want I'm into it actually happened a lot more people bank. And I mean do you think and carried the worst in me the players in some instances. Let's go to John I do on your next -- something go right ahead. -- -- -- it was just yeah I. Gone -- present law firm into so that Arctic ever on the but I I think right she was absolutely right because. If you gonna go buy it like saint. Is that if you can stop it why wouldn't you you know like I think I wouldn't on the same things. But like he meeting a man are probably got kicked out my brother where our -- so I wouldn't -- their problem by war. We're told that you -- -- -- go to you I think I think that concept. I play like I don't know. On that states if -- out there and you wearing Alec tanked. And and work boots and you yelled at the -- do you think Evan B a lot of money this hockey teams again. The whole core non but I think that our tax system look like what the girl like me and we look at it and she would know there are she would do in order. Because she's a mom but I. Do you like how we are we given his mom passed because she's been out but at that would -- that. It would be real ramifications that it perhaps the kid picked up the team or at least at the very least that that would be -- and from on and yet again. Yeah exactly I mean like I guess it's not fair that she shouldn't have leeway because he's you know by the same time you know answers. Do not from the bottom like. Well. You shouldn't get a pass an alert or the mentally from. Or whatever you do lorries. America are right at. Which time she did get a -- and I am I you want to -- his argument and I when he Marty thank you on 6172666868. It ended dad. Would -- be laughing about it only be you know doing exactly the techsters anyone -- mammoth Thomas jumped up. Which of course with the hockey dad who and what they'd -- -- by area and you annex the stomach feet right ahead. You're trying to shall I am you know. You went how they act that kid you know how did you feel when your mother walked out of that you advocate mortified. Now you hit your pocketbook in a little. Mean she looked like such a cool. It on it and I can't imagine how bad effects it was. Really I mean you know I -- -- on the team that to some questions and I think that had been at that it would it would that it doubles and -- wouldn't -- now. You don't out forever but he -- the problem area and. You know skated into the target now if you they watched the video on on Good Morning America -- books mortified hee-seop yes wanna speak on camera image go to elements like. He looks mortified. Can you play -- not. Speaking -- at all. Now you can that we you know we -- -- Before you would ask a question what was the most. All worst thing that seen happen -- then we had. It's not hockey and I live up to get my husband met at that many are in that kind of quiet now. And at that time in the game. This woman on gold and and what happened -- decree that everybody and the like this sticks went down -- I cute at all. We're not. -- -- -- -- -- -- We can't let it -- at all. I'm telling -- -- -- ING and what happened what would she came out she you know right -- my husband and -- -- they thought she was with him and he. -- only a -- her mom died as. It. He couldn't believe -- she was allowed -- -- opt out there and we couldn't believe the stock that was. Coming out of her -- it was. To each element of that -- and like baton you know -- -- suddenly an eight down and all the expert named her in that direction a cop show Whipple by. He didn't. And she's letting -- that -- document than the national for two days. -- I know right now -- still in him Harry. I'm with -- so it is about area for the Jimmy. I. She would have been ejected from every game in -- think -- immediate target now I don't let it be you know what. He can become a rapid rate that think she did a better job in the. Though -- be refereed well at the game. Aren't hers that she did the right thing for the game. Yes he should become. I think you know how I learned about the thing. A -- she can skate. -- think you can -- -- If you -- -- -- I didn't hold on -- could skate. You know what that's a very valid point I once had a drop a -- Between F I department. Hockey game get into the ice -- appear a little high heels -- meals with the disaster -- I can't I skated god you were struck -- Do you think. That you'd think that she shouldn't jump right in the second stop hockey moms all old car. The state of Massachusetts describing. Maybe it could maybe they can learn that -- he'll go after the -- need to allow any referee. And maybe if you want to change things she can become a referee herself. Yeah maybe she should -- -- you -- you if you if you can now go to that double standard I would you agree with you that now do you think used to on the issue would have been ejected from ever attending kid's game again. Probably. So -- -- -- -- has riled gig playing -- look at mom on the eyes took it must be embarrassed. But the matter is it if this was a burly dad. The results would have been very different. Totally locked him up for interrupting -- group. -- -- Jimmie thanks a point and carrying -- next -- on feet right and Aaron. -- -- -- -- On my radio Aaron that's down to cat and I have an act -- on -- week. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Ankiel I think just with a guy. Still on the right he would have been ejected from every game. Hollywood have been in big trouble because all the precedent you know I think it's probably one of the first time she goal of mom would -- objects. It's sort of I'm old kind of an oddity because nobody knows how to handle it but you don't want to know whether she -- -- -- she skated out to get. I think at the very good like that you don't we skated got to get in trouble now what about her kid -- T. I mean I I don't use the term debt is this kid going to be targeted if you're looking team I'm gonna vote does not aren't coming onto the -- Gonna do anything you want because nobody wanted to have a modicum of respect everybody else -- you don't. We cavity -- -- you. Can help you tell -- I wanna give the kid a slight shot so the disputed mother does. Well you don't you wanted to come out into the big output may be shows you all right I think he's probably just. It'll eat you are illegals is in the late -- -- pink jacket they GoDaddy don't -- announced my mother you know. Can you imagine apple a kid he's going to be he is going to be absolutely positively miracle are pretty now. -- as ever and not a good way if you don't I mean. Like you only get to go to college you know to me I don't think should be able to bet there but I'll protect you know. It's gonna be a kid get pummeled like you know I think it's important to be able to protect -- because after all what you wanna start problem before it goes to college. And that's the -- did she do the right. I think it. Well what's legal what's illegal and I think that's the only reason. That. So I wouldn't make it up like on -- going to be. It was an automatic or people on top of them to look at guys are trying to pull everybody ought to know it probably just watching him. I don't know that look good. Well I think of rats have been told not to put themselves and ultimately you know like everybody sues everybody. -- it's not -- get the broken thing the whole school department in its weird. All of the of the the -- game when he got to get out there I mean you know slapstick restrict what we all know and I guess maybe they should go back -- advocate Rick. Kevin ideologues are fun to watch than scenes on -- what -- taste. And carrying. I hope we have you -- airing out Michelle McKinney. -- -- Here she okay I heard on -- it's -- -- electronic about it belt on but here I apologized yeah. -- -- In a -- at a time. And -- need to do that it society. Oh. Did you ever intervened you'll let me give me that I didn't that he double technical out there and -- shot. I'm gonna write it Sharon had given the signal. Why. -- I went to the collapse and I watched a coach because you can't go on BI. That escalated the law. And the -- have to wait for Iraq are -- to get on -- no matter how Syria. Might not at a player in the corner. Hit the -- let's -- I -- in the back anyway now. Are likely it'll get there. Not going to be in and grab them. -- -- in Britain the written. Right well it was about the context we didn't wait wet right Al insecure situation thank you I was very thankful for. And not go that it was apparent. A parent telling me that these are kids that and it -- that hockey really. That's hockey that's not hockey IQ you on the back. Hockey you couldn't fight you can do you know -- -- I'm Eric writes from time to get banking and but -- hit the the parents you'll everything. They wanna get on -- and -- -- in their kids get it in the locker. And they don't tell their parents after that go on the app poor boy -- -- -- -- got it done from many while playing well again. And here I mean. It's you need to want to provoke this month to do it again. That -- and -- she was Good Morning America this is going to be absolutely terrorized. On -- off the ice it and believe it. These women that scream and -- all the time I do think it's a double standard at that ended that. -- on the ice. Could -- these criminal charges if not ejected from every one of the -- game you're a hockey on the -- and stepped on. Being -- husband you'd think he'd have ideologically gaming and. -- -- -- We elect because you know like when you have an understanding and sport now it is that. These -- got -- -- I think with a lot of your caller is that they have got to work it out. They've got to do it on a mile from all the time. -- entered the inning when you Beckett and -- for years all of that became a thought on banks and still learning how to get along with kids period. -- it can't go out and that they I don't hear how that I think are really that -- and I didn't go out. And that's exactly right when he can and hockey so he can grow up in happy and. It'd well and to learn all of that being need to do to survive when there. -- -- -- Day isn't much -- call let's go to Dell I Dahlia out John McCain and -- an up note I don't. I'm kind of glad she got a pass because I am a parent I know the -- such an easy trap to fall into when you feel like it's picking up the kid. You do you stop that you might regret later and I'm glad you got to pass. Yeah haven't you think adding I think that I want to see this mom objected that I wasn't there I don't know how bad -- -- for her kid. But the bottom line is down the ticket and you you would've been bounced. Add that I'm not so sure about that because. Appearance -- that this really easy track to fall until. You know it's it's only getting caught up in at all and in you can think and I'm sure this won't feel bad it regretted it later. That's why I am pretty understanding of this kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah I lab without and then I'm the last person to get all excited to get over it wasn't cocky Little League. But you'd be surprised how easy. It is when you got that pop up there protecting your comps instinct come along its its -- what happened -- -- -- Or somebody pushed. Like these first base coach of the other teen. Pushed my daughter spellbound decried what he likes it's your old. And as an adult. And I went right up to -- was on the verge of knocking him out. Intel yet architect to get a Beckett didn't aid to brawls it sounds like. I moon not this it kicks in he CU six year old girl crying because some I agents are on the ground. Exactly and and it didn't it's not like I decided to do it. I think it actually happened on like a biological level something very instinctual kicked bin. That's interesting bill I think it happens to a lot of parents and hit have you witnessed it. With other parents and kind of demo here. Absolutely and I always. Trying to be -- that happened to me I always have a little bit -- Sympathy. Rather than you do for that person. While I certainly felt sympathetic after listening to her side of the story today -- and not at last week out like this mom is crazy. But they need me here here are saying hey I want to do it makes McCain didn't. Get a concussion out there. So they'll take it sharing you story let -- average Joseph -- we are AM succeeding WRK oh he did and that happens you would -- just talked about. Send them ideological it's kicked off -- so I do. You have to react even not a -- I -- I am a woman he just is note. And next thing you know -- on the ice or you're on a Little League field and pushing someone has that happened you 6172666868.
