Two California men  have been cited and must appear in court because of a video that surfaced of  two boys, just 5 and 6 years old, fighting as an adult cheers them on.

The video, called “My nephew messed him up for picking on his home boy”, shows two young boys kicking and choking each other as an adult records and encourages them in the background.

Gabriel Gamboa, 23 and  Augustin Gamboa, 24 were cited for contributing to the delinquency of a minor by the San Bernardino sheriff’s office.

Authorities received  anonymous tips from neighbors that a fight took place at the apartment complex where  both the two men and  the children live.

When authorities interviewed  people  at the complex they learned that young children  are often involved in fights there.

The fight ended only after another child stepped in and  ended it.

The video was first uploaded to Facebook  and then reported to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
