"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"

Waits for the reaction to that one.

The daughter shamed herself by publicly (I'm assuming it was social media) bullying others.

I dont see anything shameful about admitting you behaved badly and are receiving consequences.

I would not do what that mother did, she is basically doing what her daughter did, but they live in the USA and they all do things oddly over there, there are other ways of dealing with things like that.

Who knows what things will happen to the mother and daughter down the track, and not only that depending what state of the US they are in, there are so many different laws for things like this...............

As far as I am concerned the mother has done her child no favours or herself.

Who would do what?

didn't you post that you would do similar ? ^^^

I'd take all technology off her 

Show her the suicides which can happen as a result of cyberbullying

get the police to talk to her

and if necessary encouage those she bullies to report her to the police ...there are laws against it and also Telecommunications Acts/Leglislations in Australia which include all forms of digital communications.

Not sure what there is in the regard in America ?

As I appreciate the effect...I would not do it to my own child 

especially if I was trying to teach them it wasn't an OK thing to do

Teens hate hypocrisy

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 ..

---

They are in the USA.............which to my way of thinking says it all.......

---

It also says...the shaming her Mother intended has gone World wide .

Similar to what? 

[cherry*135]

Did the mother do this?

Cyberbullying is using technology to deliberately and repeatedly bully someone.

(from Aust Govt website)'

Her mother had no intent to shame her globablly either.

In reality it is just a bit of public humiliation... won't be soul destroying... might even be character building. I have survived a bit of public humiliation in my time that I have inflicted upon myself... 

Parents are so wishy washy with their kids these days... One thing I decided a long time ago was less conversations with my kids and more consequences. They are not stupid and I expect a high standard from them. I don't need to show them legislation for them to know it is a bad choice to online bully someone.
