Park employee yells at visitor
Later that month, a video went viral out of Georgetown, Texas, showing a park employee screaming at a visitor during a 911 call.
The former employee claimed the park visitor was hurting her, and accused of the visitor of running her over in his vehicle.
She stood in front of the vehicle and would not allow the visitor to leave the park.
The park visitor recorded the woman and waited for park rangers to arrive.
Officials with the Army Corps of Engineers said in a statement the gate attendant has been fired and no longer worked at the park.
Texas mom whoops son with belt after car taken
Another Texas viral video made national headlines in October.
An El Paso woman tracked down her 14-year-old son after he took her BMW without her permission, and then struck him with a belt on the side of a street.
The swift discipline was caught on camera by the woman's daughter, who is also the driver’s brother.
The boy apparently cut the WiFi from the home so his mom would not see him take the car through home surveillance cameras.
He picked up some friends and went cruising before he was found by his mom and sister.
The boy's mom kept a low profile after the incident went viral because some people thought it was a form of child abuse, while others understood her reaction.
