"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"

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 .......

you don't know that

only the daughter knows if she has been shamed

I would do similar, except get her to hold the sign over her face so she wasn't recognised. I notice a lot of news stories out there now about this have the daughter's face pixelated.

As I said above just banning teens from FB and home internet won't stop them cyberbulling if they are determined to do it..what are other options then?

The 'intent' to shame her globally wasn't there when the mother posted the photo on a FB yardsale page.

I see the daughter has been shamed Grizz.....and those are apparently the mother's words ? The intent was there on the Mothers part....she did it knowingly,with intent to shame and to her own child .Obviously doesn't think cyberbullying is that bad ....or if she does she doesn't mind doing it herself ?

What Country are they in and what Country are we in ? This is what the Mother has done to her child ..

[izabsmiling]

yes I think that some here would do that

The girl's name has been rubbed out on the reposted photos on news story also.

I'd stick her head in the toilet and flush....making sure there was "blue Loo" in there first, ofcourse!!
