I'll go ahead and put it out there, I think what she did was fine if it works and I commend her for trying.

Finally a parent who makes no excuses for her child.

Personally I wouldn't have wanted to put my daughter's face out there like that but I'm okay with a private apology and selling the iPod.

The mother is not bullying her daughter......but she is humiliating her. I think she is dead wrong. I applaud the mother for punishing her daughter for bullying, but this is just not the way to do it.

I'm pretty sure this subject has been covered here before. Shaming is not the same as good, consistent discipline when it comes to kids. Discipline should still be doled out with love and respect. I see none of that in the mother's over the top behavior.

Just my opinion.

Well, that is something to chew on tansy.

Hiya croemer ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$ . I have to agree with you. So many parents make too many excuses for bad behaviour.

Girls this age already have ""their face out there"" in many many online sites.

And that's part of the problem.

I have to agree that humiliating another human being isn't the way to go. Remember the last time YOU were humiliated? How did that make you feel? The only lesson I learned was to not trust that person and to hide my actions from her. Not a good lesson, I'd say.

Thanks for posting Emma.

I can still hear my mother telling me "You should be ashamed of yourself" when I did something bad. I also remember thinking, "she's right, I should be".

HiYa betteb. You know Emma makes some good points here, but I do appreciate that the mother is being honest with herself and recognizing her daughter is headed down the wrong path. The right method of discipline(?) I am not sure but... she apparently tried other methods and said her daughter ignored them.

I agree with you. It was a private family matter and should have been handled privately. Taking her Ipad and having her apologize to the one she bullied would have been the appropriate punishment.
