\nA Texas mother decided to teach her son a lesson after discovering something important about his personality. The child was causing trouble at school. Administrators at the school he attended approached his mother and explained that he was a bully to other pupils.\n
She claimed that her kid went down the wrong path and was calling other children \u201cidiots\u201d and \u201cstupid,\u201d so she decided to have her bully son wear a T-shirt that read, \u201cI am a BULLY.\u201d Mom wants her son to be identified as a bully at Greenleaf Elementary School in his community.\n
She was aware that other children at the school had learned that her son was a terrible person to other students. However, she wanted everyone to know that she believed them, so she forced her son to wear a humiliating T-shirt in front of hundreds of people at school, not to mention thousands of people online who saw his mother\u2019s Facebook post. See the image of the shirt below.\n

\u201cHe was calling other boys stupid (and) calling them idiots,\u201d the Texas mom, Star, who asked that she be identified by her first name only, told KTRK-TV. \u201cI\u2019m a very old-school parent. I don\u2019t coddle my children. I don\u2019t sugarcoat the world to them.\u201d\n
Star wanted as many people as possible to know that her son was a bully, so she posted a picture of the boy wearing the T-shirt to her Facebook account. Star wrote, \u201cI posted it to reach out to the parents of any of the kids my son may have bullied so that each one of them couId get a personal apology.\u201d\n
Although some people believed Star went too far in punishing her bully kid, she stuck by her actions and defended herself against internet criticism. \u201cI wanted to know what he learned from it, and he said, \u2018I learned that I didn\u2019t like the way that that felt, and I don\u2019t want anybody else to feel that way because of me,\u2019\u201d Star went on to say. \u201cThat\u2019s exactIy what I wanted him to take from it.\u201d Professionals in the field of child development disagree with Star\u2019s punishment.\n
Despite the fact that her son was a bully who was causing harm to other children, a child psychiatrist at Baylor College of Medicine criticized Star\u2019s care of him. \u201cIt\u2019s not a good idea to embarrass your child and reinforce a negative identity in an elementary school child,\u201d the child psychiatrist added.\n
\u201cShe needs to find somebody to help her, and I think the school is one resource.\u201d Star faced criticism on social media and the internet, but she stated that her son\u2019s school system supported her decision. The school noted that \u201cparents have the right to make important decisions and take certain actions on behalf of their child.\u201d What are your thoughts on this mother\u2019s punishment of her bully son?\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
