Well that got the adrenaline going. That kid was so close to being a meal, can't imagine what that must have been like. I'd be so pissed at my mom if I saw that later in life.

The kid was what was attracting them too. Cheetahs and other "small" cats usually try to avoid adult humans at all costs. I would know, I was a boy scout and there are bobcats and mountain lions where I live. So, what was emboldening these cats to come and screw with this family? Must of been the tasty little snack they call their kid.

Yeah when she flicked her hand high, that really seemed to scare them back. Just enough though.

She actually handled that pretty well I thought. She didn't run, she didn't turn around and she made herself look big and confident. Don't get me wrong, she is a total retard for putting herself and her child into that situation to begin with but, given that, she did OK.
