When Kyesha Smith Wood dropped her three kids off at a Bessemer movie theater to see Cinderella this weekend, she didn't know it would turn into a story seen by thousands online.

After the kids arrived home, Wood learned from her 16-year-old son that her daughter and step-daughter were "rude and obnoxious" during the movie to a woman who tried to correct their behavior.

Wood, who said she was "disappointed and ashamed" of their behavior, took to Facebook to try to connect with the woman so her girls could apologize.

"The woman I'm looking for addressed them and asked them to be quiet and they were disrespectful," Wood said. "After the movie she approached my girls and told them that her husband had been laid off and this was the last movie she would be able to take her daughter to for a while and my girls ruined that for her."

Wood said she and her husband had the kids write an apology letter, and they wanted to pay for the woman's next movie and snacks out of their allowance.

"This rude, disrespectful, and awful behavior is unacceptable and they owe you an apology," Wood wrote. "Please message me if this is you. I apologize profusely for their disrespect."

The post quickly spread on Facebook, shared by tens of thousands of people, and made its way to Rebecca Boyd, the mom in the theater.

"...After I read it I was touched that she cared how her kids behaved," Boyd said. "You don't see that a lot these days."

She never expected her post to get the attention it has, but Wood and her husband desperately wanted to correct the situation at hand.

"I had the girls say a prayer for their family," Wood said when she learned what happened. "I had a conversation with them explaining the severity of their situation, and what it means to be compassionate for other people. We just felt so bad and we wanted to make it right."

Wood said her girls are embarrassed, but they understand their parents' intention was never to humiliate them. Her son has been encouraged to "continue doing the right thing."

She thinks the immense response to her post is due to disillusionment in parenting and "this generation of kids," who might be seen as entitled or disrespectful of authority. When she and Boyd connected, they discussed the respect they have for each other as fellow moms.

"I thanked her for correcting my girls in my absence and letting them know that they were wrong," Wood said. "A lot of times people get nervous about saying something to a stranger's kids. But it takes a village to raise our kids. We as a community need to hear this, that there are parents out there who still believe in old-fashioned methods."

Despite all the attention she has received, Wood said the "real hero" in the situation is Boyd, who she calls a "great mom."

"[I've learned] that as parents we need to support each other," Boyd said of the situation. "The girls are not bad, they made bad choices. I am overwhelmed by all the love and support! This is something my daughter Ashley and I will never forget."
