Mom Catches Daughter Cyber-Bullying
If her mother wonders from where her daughter picked up bullying, she has only to look in a mirror. Go ahead and sell her phone, but public shaming is just as bad as the daughter's bullying - even worse, because parents should know better.
umm. nowadays, get these whinny brats (kids, teens, adults) a taste of their own medicine.

I have been bullied, but I believe that bullies are people to and they make poor decisions with their behavior. By giving negative reinforcement to a child who bullies, just makes them feel more alone and would most likely increase their bulling.... But if they are just psychopaths than I could agree with your comment. Just saying. 0.o

Very wrong way.. very traumatizing for a girl, absolutely not a good parental strategy.. Trust a psychologist..
Arrogant, presumptuous and patronising. I'm a psychotherapist, but I don't expect automatic trust on that basis. More importantly, I'm just a common or garden adult. Punishment - even shaming - can be an act of love, as long as it doesn't end there. Giving a child food for thought, especially when he or she has been cruel to others, can be liberating, especially if that child properly digests that food for thought and is rewarded and praised for making amends.

So....to teach her cyber bullying is wrong you internet shamed her? The irony is strong with this one.
Good job mom she should've known better some people actually RAISE they're children
I get selling the ipod, but taking this picture and putting it on the internet seems kind of wrong.
Give me a break her mother is in tabouli her mother is being a mother she's teaching her a lesson there's nothing wrong with telling kids they did something wrong and making them pay for it you're the reason why society sucks not this mother
I would never do that. If my parents tried that with me, I'll sell THEIR iPod and spend the money on laughing emoji stickers to put all over their room.
It's not donating when she doesn't want to. There's no point. And selling an iPod is CRUEL :):)
I don't think I would be able to do this to any kid. However, whatever this girl said to the other person, I would ask this kid how they would like it if they were told horrible things, imagine if they were them and then get back to me. I'm not sure if I could publicly shame someone for the sake of teaching them a lesson. I'm not saying that this mother did anything wrong. Parents like to teach their kids in different ways I guess.
This is so extreme! she made a mistake! talk to her... confiscate iPod for a week, don't be cruel.
Ground her for a few weeks, take away phone/computer/console/internet privileges, and sit her down for a LOOOOONG TALK about being a decent person. Duh.

Don't do that to your daughter. Instead of making her sell her device, maybe set time limits or restrictions for a little while. Plus, this is public shaming. Your child should not have to go through this embarrassment.
No way, bullying consequences need to be severe DParks. Selling her ipod and public shaming is not even enough. Some kids end up committing suicide due bullying 😒
I don't have kids and know this is not how you mother. You don't bully to correct bullying. That's just as bad if not worse. You talk to your child not publicly humiliate them.

Yes, it is sad that teens post this kind of thing, and that is what social media is encouraging, but if you look at what part of her face is showing, she looks so sad. Parents, your kids will make mistakes, and some of them will be worse then others but DO NOT shame them on the internet or in front of people, it will make them hate you and go against your wishes just to spite you.

It has been a while since I have been upset by anything posted here. Most times, it is about art, it is funny, it is cute, or it is nice. This series has a good intention, and it truly has some very funny entries. However, many entries are funny at first look but if you think about them, they reveal very, very questionable parenting ethics. Shaming your children publicly? Using normally positive things and turning them into punishment? Even using psychological violence? What seemingly might be "old style parenting" and getting rid of an "anti-authoritarian" style of raising kids truly reflects the immaturity of those parents. Since when is it wise to replace trust by fear? Since when does incomprehensible punishments lead to learning? I am sure that this posting along with some comments I left will get me tons of downvotes since people are here for the fun, but seeing something I perceive to be so wrong simply quenches my desire to post funny or puny comments.
parenting is certainly hard...some ideas are ingenious...but why do you have to put pictures of your kids' punishment online??
@Arty: you are not alone with this question. If you do not teach your children that a family should stick together – including not to sahe each other publicly – which values should they learn? This of course does not mean not to say "sorry" to others.
Load More Replies... A lot of the behavior by the parents is no better than the wrong done by their kids. It's no wonder the kids are acting out.... just look at the parenting here.
well no wonder young people are becoming so dumb if they have idiot parents like these folks.
This is a shortner summary of what I tried to say above. ;)

I feel sorry for all the parents who had no one to set the example of a good parent. Sadly, Most are doing the best they know how.
You are probably right, Flora...most mean good even if what they do is wrong. But why do people not try to think about their consequence of their actions, particularly when it comes to social media?

Is every parent in the new miillennium a complete chicken s**t? I'm not saying you should beat your kids when they're bad like the old days, because that can mess a lot of kids up later on ... but these parents are such dorks. This is why people use the term Generation Snowflake. Cutting a kid off the Internet or a phone doesn't actually teach them s**t. I love my parents, I respect my parents, I feared my parents as a kid. Mom was a real boss, dad was a real boss and neither of them played around.
" because that can mess a lot of kids up later on ... " Actually, studies show that it messes up EVERY kid later on. The fact that you consider that it's ok to be afraid of your parents shows how little that parenting style works. How do you expect your kids to trust you if they fear you? sickening

Most of these are great ideas but parents that have to bully or publicly shame their kids into behaving are crappy parents.
