"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"

I absolutely agree with you regarding Cyber Bullying. I was referring to bullying in general. I often wonder, however, how many parents that are guilty of cyberbullying / harrassment that are the first to jump up and down when their own children are guilty of it. Most adults don't see their behaviour as bullying...they see it as a bit of fun and that the "recipient" of it needs to harden up and shouldn't be on-line if they can't handle it. I wonder if they would say the same to their children if they were cyberbullied / harrassed ?

I wonder how those parents would stand up to what they expect others to take ?
