A Texas mother taking matters into her own hands tackling a man who she says was peeping through her daughter's window.

The takedown was captured on a police dash camera.

Phyllis Pena says her first instinct was to make sure the 19-year-old didn't get away.

Pena says the officer gave her a fist bump for stepping into harm's way.

While she can laugh about it now, the mom says at the time it came down to just protecting her kids.

Something she says all moms can relate to.
