"A North Carolina mother who punished her daughter for bullying is being accused of being a cyberbully herself after she shamed her daughter by sharing her photo online.

Cara Schneider had her daughter pose with a green sign that reads,

My name is Hailey. I am a kind caring, smart girl, but I make poor choices with social media.

As punishment, I am selling my iPod and will be donating the money to the charity Beat Bullying in hopes of changing my behavior as well as bringing awareness to Bullying. Because bullying is wrong."

Thoughts on this?

I personally agree with the guy that defended the mum by writing ‘‘Bullying thrives in secrecy. Bringing it into the light is the only way to stop it. And this mother isn't bullying her child; she’s teaching her daughter to take responsibility for her actions and also teaching her compassion by walking a mile in her victim’s choices.’’

I asked my 13 year old daughter what she thought of this and she also agrees with what the Mum did. She said "The girl was bullying people online, hiding behind the computer so her punishment should be shared online as well"

working on the logic applied here.......if we send a criminal to prison are we bullying them?

"its refreshing to see a parent admit their child is no angel, my experience of bullies is that the parents would never believe their little darling could do the wrong thing, let alone enforce any consequences if they did. They usually just make excuses for their poor behaviour."

totally agree punch. In all cases of bullying i have had to deal with, all the parents put the blame on others

see post 24, meep for what other prior action had been taken.

from the link in the op: But she added, "I don't regret a thing. Being a parent is hard, and it's always easy to judge, but remember... You only see a picture. You don't know our story.’"

If teens have been behaviing inapproriately on the net and in particular FB parents can make them close their FB account, ban them from using theinternet at home for a length of time etc.. but teen can still use the net at friends house, open  'fake' FB account etc.and carry on the cyber bulling or whatever they were doing wrong.

the daugter wont be able to be cyber bullied by stangers as she will have no ipod to read it.

of course she can still be bullied......I'm quite sure others will show her.

from the OP 

Cara Schneider, an avid Crossfitter, says she didn't expect the photo shaming her daughter to get spread around as much as it has but has no regrets about it. 

no regrets for shaming her own daughter online .......

The daughter might get some 'respect' from her peers for acknowldging her actions were wrong and apologising for them.

what would you do if you were in the mother's position?
