Good parenting
Radandie94
Good parenting. Fuck bullies
glamsquanch
Our daughter was a bully. We always made her apologize to the kids and their families as well as ground her. Worked for us
rYan7up
Hard to say without more facts. But bullying is shite.....so it’s probably good way to get through to him that bullying isn’t ok.
khaoselement
OH NO HE HAD TO RUN IN THE RAIN oh wait...jackass kid needs to learn a lesson, this is nothing horrible. Good punishment is good.
RekuUker
Good parenting. If the son is a bully. He deserves it. No sympathy from me
MikeReese9
Agreed. I had to deal with bullies in school. Let someone else understand their problems .. not me.
MaxximumB
It's rain, rarely the most fatal part of the American school system. I think the kid learnt that actions have consequences.
Zulljin4
Oh no! Not the rain! Small pellets of water hitting a child? What has the world come to...
MoldyKetchup95
Good parenting. Abuse causes long term trauma. This teaches a lesson
theyamayamaman
I think the difference here would be whether or not his dad explained to his son what he did right and wrong and why he is doing this
smokeyfantastico
Which he did. And it's only a mile. He's only running in the rain cause he was rude to his mom that morning
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Agreed
thevortexmaster
Hahaha this is punishment? I did this everyday of my life in British Columbia. The rain never ends. We all walked
ABillionDucks
Uphill, both ways.
Well I was in the mountains so close enough.
RawSuger
im guessing the best parenting someone who raised a bully can do.
Let's hear your suggestion.
talk. discuss. teach your kid values from its early years and you will never find yourself with a bully
Shit, we know kids love a good talking to. Oh going back in time is a good suggestion. Don't know why nobody ever thought of that.
no going back in time isnt possible and once you get here a military approach might be best, but needing it means you failed as a parent

MrJambalaya
I got my ass beat as a kid, this ain't shit
GreatLordKek
Doesn't mean that was a good thing. If you have to beat your kids to teach them lessons, that isn't a positive thing.
And if you think time outs or attempting to reason with a 9 year old will solve all problems you've never dealt with kids.
xedative
The moment where you turn to violence because you can't reason with words is where you break your child's understanding of a guardian.
Again, if you think you can reason with kids and actually correct behavior via reason alone, you have not dealt with children once in your
life, and should keep your ignorant opinions to yourself.
nnovetljlde
I work in a city school. Bullies don't always stem from the home. Usually the choice of friends. A lot of parents I call are...
At their wits end. They've tried everything they could. Maybe this guy had tried everything else as well. Riding the bus is privilege....
Not a right. For many parents having to drive them everyday is inconvenient as hell. This kid will definitely learn a lesson.
impala14
I would have made him apologize in person.
Ihaveyourgifsrighthere
Good parenting up to the point you put it on social media.
dontrike
It's a jog in the rain, I loved doing that as a kid. Real abuse is not getting your mom a glass of water and she beats you with a cane.
GiftedMagnet
besides the filming parent behind me, that’s how i got to school EVERYDAY when it rained ...
KitKats4lyf
Light rain, bullying, jogging, Parent likely keeping their word. I would have taken the backpack, but this isn't abuse.
sothereisthat
I’m from Roanoke. Went to school with this child’s uncle. They are very well off and this kid can really use the tough love. No problem.
Waitoverthere
Small world. I'm in Dublin VA. Next to Blacksburg.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
I thought you all disappeared or something.
That’s Roanoke island. North Carolina. Roanoke Virginia is in southwest Virginia, near Tennessee border.
Ahhh, TIL. Still, it seems poor idea to name your town after a place like that, just sayin'.
mansergh
Apparently the kid got kicked off the school bus for being a bully. I still think its probably not the best way to go about disciplining 1/2
Your kid but im sure nobody would have had a problem with it if it wasnt posted online.
TakeAFannyGallop
This isn’t enough information to make a judgement call about that.
InternetLawyer
my major question would be how far it is to school and how old is the kid
According to the article the kid was 10 and it was about 1 mile. The kid is also an athlete.
truerwords
This exact line is what most internet comments should be.
Kvothefefe
Username checks out
Shayde94
Kid was kicked off bus for bullying kids on it
cornbreesha
Right, but what does the school consider bullying. It wouldnt be the first time that responding to a bully was a punishable offense.
juzsayin
School consider? It's the parents responsibility to teach their children right from wrong. The kids behaviour improved markedly after this.
FunkyPenguin
That's not what he is saying. He is saying what did the kid do that the school deemed "bullying". Coulda just stood up for himself?
CalebKills
Yeah but american schools
SuperSaiyanSasquatch
Whoa whoa whoa, since when are we allowed to not jump to conclusions?
LinenProduct
But it's just a prank bro!
DevonGronka
Maybe it's being treated like this continually that lead to the bullying in the first place. Just a guess. These things start at home often.
KanyeWesticularCancer
http://www.nbc-2.com/story/37657318/dad-punishes-bully-son-by-making-him-run-to-school
So that article says that running is a punishment they use regularly, and that he ran with his kids on one of the days at least.
I disagree with the decision to film it and post it online, but nothing in that article suggests to me that he’s a bad father.
TwoDogsFucking
That's never stopped Imgur before.
SaltyMaintainer
Story of the fucking internet, my friend.
Abracanawbra
GnomeAnne
I ran to school every day, regardless of rain/snow. Just because this guy usually gives his kid a ride he's a bad father? Y'all are pansies.
redtruck
He usually took the bus.
SpacePandaBryan7
Yeah and now you're a prick. So...
You make a valid point.
aleister94
And fact that he filmed it for interent attention makes me lean towards dad being in the wrong
Lulabel73
Agreed. Walking to school for a month would be enough punishment. The father is just teaching how to bully on the next level.
Chris00987
I'm on your side but maybe there was a public humiliation factor to his bullying so he's making him know how it feels
well its not just that, when parents do things like this it encourages bad parents who like to punish their kids to try and look tough
Leithoa
Humiliating a kid at school vs humiliating your kid in front of the Internet. Dad's a bully too.
helluvasparkplug
Yep. Anyone who disagrees I would encourage to google "punishment vs consequence psychology"
Alvatore
Unless he filmed it for video evidence that nothing else was done to the kid.
JustSomeOtherRando
Look at mister logical thinker over here with his logical thinking skills.
MadamLadyBoner
The kid also is part of the track team so he was going to run in this weather regardless.
LinkinPiper
what do you know about his child's mental health?
JediGrandMasterYoda
I've walked to school on a rainy day a bunch of times and I dont think it's bullying. Not driving your kid to school is a good punishment.
dudeondudeaction
But driving behind your kid while they run in the rain? That’s sinister.
wiilyc22
Not sinister, just an asshole. Who records this shit. I get making him walk, but recording and posting. Symptom of societies failure.
Dalael
He's making his kid walk. You need to review your definition of "bullying".
True. Making kids exercise should be illegal. Sorry.
RomanAbbasid
I don't think its bullying , but i find it kinda off that the dad would film it and post it online. Seems kinda shitty
GdSvThQn
Ya, that's the part I don't like. It's one thing to discipline your child but to discipline your child and then post it is shitty.
It's called setting an example.
What happened before this? What information did he impart to the child before this punishment was given? Why was this punishment given?
lunables
This kid was being a bully on the school bus and was suspended from using it for 3 days. Dad made him run to school everyday as punishment.
Maybe the child normally walks to school and the punishment was actually being supervised because the child likes being independent.
LuckyMan9
Its not for any of us to judge.
ba203
This is Imgur: we exist to judge others.
You can judge all you want, but unless you know the entire situation and can glean the consequences, your judgement is flawed.
That is clear.
Fuck you with your bullying cries. Thats a punishment, not bullying. Back in my days, walking to school was an every day thing. Spoiled brat
CaptainLogopolis
Back in my day I had to walk to 100 miles to school uphill both ways.
I agree it’s not bullying to make him walk/run. Kid will learn the bus is a privilege. However I don’t understand the need to video and post
Oh, yeah totally agree. If by bullying, people mean the video, then yeah... that's bullying. But the walk isn't.
SirWilliamBacon
Not my circus, not my monkey. I’ll bet the kid stops bullying though
Flyndaran

Tf is this even about humility. Just a sound bite without meaning.
Uzernaime
If humiliation is a bi-product of their poor behavior, that’s on them, I am NOT responsible for THEIR feelings. But I would not go out 1/2
Of my way to PURPOSELY humiliate them. That I would never do.
rudejohn
Making the boy exercise as punishment is great. Filming and sharing it is counterproductive and punitive. But we don't see the kid's face.
MistressLyda
I am not sure if seeing physical activity as a punishment is a positive thing.
Physical activity is great and can be a reward. Using physical activity of a not-fun type (jogging) is a fitting punishment.
TyfereoBrown
In the whole video you see the face
So they may have filmed it as an anonymous cautionary tale
AnnieBahde
This is so well stated. Thanks for this!
sudokori
But it does teach you that being a cunt has negative consequences
CheckYoMeat
Exactly. It's almost to "dose of own medicine" or "walking in your victims shoes"
noReallyIamPrincessBob
Who says that running is humiliating? Is he wearing a sign or something?
Molvanian
I will admit, after helping raise two children, I've typically found a soft touch works best, that being said, there must be consequences. C
If the child is left to believe there are none for the way they act, or the things they do you get... most of today's headlines.
itsybitsyspider
It worked with your children, but I've seen children who would sneer at it and need a harder touch.
Define "harder touch"?
feeltheice
Soft touch yes. But bring down the hammer of GOD once they fuck up.
Camelspotting
They're kids, they're going to fuck up a lot. Aim to teach rather than punish.
Whoever downvoted this has never raised a child.
To a degree. It's important they see bad behavior be punished, it's also important they understand why.
Indeed but even god made sure to let people know why he cured their bad habits with fire and brimstone
PlatypusPlatypus
He learned to bully by watching his dad, I guess
sowillo
Not totally true.He could be bullied on his sports team or by older students or just from other students in his class years before. its rage
Possibly. But unless the video shows the kid's face or includes his name, I wouldn't call it bullying.
You don’t think all the people in his life know who it is from the video?
Punishment isn't bullying. Teching the kid actions have consequences is what a good parent does.
pauldegraaf
Exactly this. I think that a lot of bullies learn at home how to disrespect.
wilb33
Not always true. My parents where great parents. Fair and just. But I was a beat in elementary school because of the friends I picked.
Brat*
Myfirstgirlfriendturnedintothemoon
Linguistically we speak like our peers, not our parents. I airways think this applies to personality too.
There's a difference between getting in trouble with friends, and the parents discipline the child, than the child getting in trouble--
-- and the parents don't care, or deny.
Nemesisyphus
Nailed it. "I will bully him into not bullying people. Because logic."
Draciella
Beatings shall continue until moral improves
So, just let him continue to be a vile little cunt without repercussions?
LabiaCrust
Bully - a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker. Punishing your child isn’t bullying.
iDrawStuff
"I'm going to make my child (weaker) run to school in the rain because I'm the parent (power)." Nope. Not abuse at all. /s
Really? He got kicked off the bus so you make them walk. Should you really just drive them so they don’t feel a consequence?
SmartAssWithAKeyboard
Like anyone should take fucking parenting advice from someone with the username LabiaCrust.
I work with children with special needs and study child development and psychology. My usn has no affect on my pedigree.
Yaeltra

skeletonsimpleton
If you consider a jog in the rain abuse you are all way too fucking soft
Toecutteris
brilliant
secretagentdoubleobeaver
Once you film it and put it on social media, it's no longer about disciplining a child. It's about the parent wanting to show off
AlarumWithin
Hit my little brother once. Dad had me put on the boxing gloves with him. Didn't like being hit. Didn't hit brothers anymore.
SierraKomodo
That's a good way of handling it, I'd say.
Squidwardsnose
Hit as in your punched them in the face?
Yes
I feel like the dislike of you being hit shouldn't be the only thing to deter you from hitting them
Your missing the point. My little brother was smaller and pretty defenseless against me. Same with dad knocking me around.
eroso
Depends how long the run is. If over 1000 miles, that'd be kinda cruel.
DonteHaversham
At least the kid could day he ran 500 miles, then ran 500 more

BagFullOfMommy
Why shouldn't the child be shamed if he was being a bully? Maybe if he is shamed enough he wont do it anymore.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Doesn't work for the same reasons you can't shame a fat person into healthier habits. You just reinforce the behaviour
Kids bully because they're bitter and unhappy. Shaming someone who is bitter and unhappy produces more bitterness and unhappiness.
TheNLK
That's not always true, there are a million reasons people do the things they do.
Disagree, can't just boil it down to "unhappy and bitter". Negative reinforcement like this works well on young children.
Two things: ....
Two: What would you boil down bullying to? Have you ever known bullies (and i've known quite a few) that weren't bitter, unhappy people?
One: I agree that negative reinforce works, but its a cheap solution. It doesn't solve long term problems. I think I can argue that well.
I think what we can all agree on is that every case and person is different and there's no one size fits all solution.
I think it's been shown that kids respond a lot better to positive reinforcement.
Vixess
That kid probably embarrassed quite a few other kids in his day. In my opinion, a little shame could do him good.
"Hey we like your application and you're qualified but we cant give you this job because you bullied a kid in 5th grade and it's on the web"
Except this shame will follow him for a long, long time because nothing ever leaves the internet. Keep shit off social media people.
On the other hand, bullies usually are bullies because of what they deal with at home, so what does THAT say about the parents?
SushiJaguar
And sometimes, bullies are bullies because they get a kick out of it or are just apathetic to the plight of others.
LucifersDoge
sometimes kids don’t know theyre bullies and are encouraged by the laughter of their peers. so its sometimes mobbish
Lahoura
Actually most bullies don't have bad home backgrounds, rather they are spoiled at home and know they can get away with it

Yep. The little asshole deserves the jog in the rain... and more if he continues. This is step 1 in the Bully Recovery Program.
Beezlebubble
Right? My mom used to beat the ever living hell out of me. My dad was the nice one having me do hard chores and shit. Learned to be better
from his parenting. He only ever hit me once and he felt so bad after. His dad was abusive so he wanted to be better. People need to learn
the difference between discipline and abuse. Filming it and sharing it, yeah,I don't agree with, but having him walk, he's fine.

JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
just watched you go from -2 to -7 in one jump... people seem to disagree.
All I'm saying is making your 2rd grade child run a half hour to school while weighed down in the rain is a bit child abuse-y
As someone who was spanked regularly with a riding crop through middle school and thinks it did me good
Or the dreaded giant wooden spoon *shudder*. Or that time with my dad's belt that had a gilt metal end
glassweaver
Good thing he didn't make him run half an hour then. Kid took 10 minutes to get there by the dad's account.
AnwarTime
Got spanked with wooden hangers, belt, slippers, fly swatter, ruler and my personal favorite - Cricket bat...

SpartaWolf117
mhhh depends on how far, really.

Couldn't agree more.
generalsplayingrisk
depends on how long the run is.
According to the video, it's about a mile. Not too far, about 10 minutes at that kid's pace.

That’s quite the judgement for knowing absolutely no context of how the father is going about this
Doesn't take more than a Google search and 3 min of reading to gain perspective
Seem people don't want to read more than 140 characters anymore. No wonder the world is going to shit. Reads headline < REACT!!!
The GIF was made from the video, where the father is describing the events and punishment. Seemed reasonable given that context.
The father can describe all he wants. A child bully is usually acting on something they learned at home, which a manipulative father isn’t1/
Going to let on about how he actually treats the child in a YouTube video

Statistically assuming this was America and we're all typically fat?

Redeyedguy4291
The most obese countries by percentage puts America at #19 so yeah there's 18 other countries fatter by percentage.
Oh? I didn't know being overweight automatically made you obese. And your logic is what? "other countries are fatter so we're not that fat"?

It's a jog in the rain, I loved doing that as a kid. Real abuse is not getting your mom a glass of water and she beats you with a cane.
GiftedMagnet
besides the filming parent behind me, that’s how i got to school EVERYDAY when it rained ...
KitKats4lyf
Light rain, bullying, jogging, Parent likely keeping their word. I would have taken the backpack, but this isn't abuse.
sothereisthat
I’m from Roanoke. Went to school with this child’s uncle. They are very well off and this kid can really use the tough love. No problem.

Ahhh, TIL. Still, it seems poor idea to name your town after a place like that, just sayin'.
mansergh
Apparently the kid got kicked off the school bus for being a bully. I still think its probably not the best way to go about disciplining 1/2
mansergh
Your kid but im sure nobody would have had a problem with it if it wasnt posted online.
TakeAFannyGallop
This isn’t enough information to make a judgement call about that.
InternetLawyer
my major question would be how far it is to school and how old is the kid
TakeAFannyGallop
According to the article the kid was 10 and it was about 1 mile. The kid is also an athlete.
truerwords
This exact line is what most internet comments should be.

Kid was kicked off bus for bullying kids on it
cornbreesha
Right, but what does the school consider bullying. It wouldnt be the first time that responding to a bully was a punishable offense.
juzsayin
School consider? It's the parents responsibility to teach their children right from wrong. The kids behaviour improved markedly after this.
FunkyPenguin
That's not what he is saying. He is saying what did the kid do that the school deemed "bullying". Coulda just stood up for himself?
CalebKills
Yeah but american schools
SuperSaiyanSasquatch
Whoa whoa whoa, since when are we allowed to not jump to conclusions?

Maybe it's being treated like this continually that lead to the bullying in the first place. Just a guess. These things start at home often.

http://www.nbc-2.com/story/37657318/dad-punishes-bully-son-by-making-him-run-to-school
TakeAFannyGallop
So that article says that running is a punishment they use regularly, and that he ran with his kids on one of the days at least.
TakeAFannyGallop
I disagree with the decision to film it and post it online, but nothing in that article suggests to me that he’s a bad father.
TwoDogsFucking
That's never stopped Imgur before.
SaltyMaintainer
Story of the fucking internet, my friend.
Abracanawbra
GnomeAnne
I ran to school every day, regardless of rain/snow. Just because this guy usually gives his kid a ride he's a bad father? Y'all are pansies.
redtruck
He usually took the bus.
SpacePandaBryan7
Yeah and now you're a prick. So...
GnomeAnne
You make a valid point.
aleister94
And fact that he filmed it for interent attention makes me lean towards dad being in the wrong
Lulabel73
Agreed. Walking to school for a month would be enough punishment. The father is just teaching how to bully on the next level.
Chris00987
I'm on your side but maybe there was a public humiliation factor to his bullying so he's making him know how it feels
aleister94
well its not just that, when parents do things like this it encourages bad parents who like to punish their kids to try and look tough
Leithoa
Humiliating a kid at school vs humiliating your kid in front of the Internet. Dad's a bully too.
helluvasparkplug
Yep. Anyone who disagrees I would encourage to google "punishment vs consequence psychology"
Alvatore
Unless he filmed it for video evidence that nothing else was done to the kid.
JustSomeOtherRando
Look at mister logical thinker over here with his logical thinking skills.
MadamLadyBoner
The kid also is part of the track team so he was going to run in this weather regardless.

LinkinPiper
what do you know about his child's mental health?
JediGrandMasterYoda
I've walked to school on a rainy day a bunch of times and I dont think it's bullying. Not driving your kid to school is a good punishment.
dudeondudeaction
But driving behind your kid while they run in the rain? That’s sinister.
wiilyc22
Not sinister, just an asshole. Who records this shit. I get making him walk, but recording and posting. Symptom of societies failure.
Dalael
He's making his kid walk. You need to review your definition of "bullying".
TakeAFannyGallop
True. Making kids exercise should be illegal. Sorry.
thatguywhodoesthething
RomanAbbasid
I don't think its bullying , but i find it kinda off that the dad would film it and post it online. Seems kinda shitty
GdSvThQn
Ya, that's the part I don't like. It's one thing to discipline your child but to discipline your child and then post it is shitty.
thatguywhodoesthething
It's called setting an example.
TakeAFannyGallop
What happened before this? What information did he impart to the child before this punishment was given? Why was this punishment given?
lunables
This kid was being a bully on the school bus and was suspended from using it for 3 days. Dad made him run to school everyday as punishment.
TakeAFannyGallop
Maybe the child normally walks to school and the punishment was actually being supervised because the child likes being independent.

Fuck you with your bullying cries. Thats a punishment, not bullying. Back in my days, walking to school was an every day thing. Spoiled brat
CaptainLogopolis
Back in my day I had to walk to 100 miles to school uphill both ways.
wiilyc22
I agree it’s not bullying to make him walk/run. Kid will learn the bus is a privilege. However I don’t understand the need to video and post
Dalael
Oh, yeah totally agree. If by bullying, people mean the video, then yeah... that's bullying. But the walk isn't.
SirWilliamBacon
Not my circus, not my monkey. I’ll bet the kid stops bullying though

bovi22
Tf is this even about humility. Just a sound bite without meaning.
Uzernaime
If humiliation is a bi-product of their poor behavior, that’s on them, I am NOT responsible for THEIR feelings. But I would not go out 1/2
Uzernaime
Of my way to PURPOSELY humiliate them. That I would never do.
rudejohn
Making the boy exercise as punishment is great. Filming and sharing it is counterproductive and punitive. But we don't see the kid's face.
MistressLyda
I am not sure if seeing physical activity as a punishment is a positive thing.
rudejohn
Physical activity is great and can be a reward. Using physical activity of a not-fun type (jogging) is a fitting punishment.
TyfereoBrown
In the whole video you see the face
rudejohn
So they may have filmed it as an anonymous cautionary tale
AnnieBahde
This is so well stated. Thanks for this!
sudokori
But it does teach you that being a cunt has negative consequences
CheckYoMeat
Exactly. It's almost to "dose of own medicine" or "walking in your victims shoes"
noReallyIamPrincessBob
Who says that running is humiliating? Is he wearing a sign or something?
Molvanian
I will admit, after helping raise two children, I've typically found a soft touch works best, that being said, there must be consequences. C
Molvanian
If the child is left to believe there are none for the way they act, or the things they do you get... most of today's headlines.
itsybitsyspider
It worked with your children, but I've seen children who would sneer at it and need a harder touch.
Molvanian
Define "harder touch"?
feeltheice
Soft touch yes. But bring down the hammer of GOD once they fuck up.
Camelspotting
They're kids, they're going to fuck up a lot. Aim to teach rather than punish.
Molvanian
Whoever downvoted this has never raised a child.
Molvanian
To a degree. It's important they see bad behavior be punished, it's also important they understand why.
feeltheice
Indeed but even god made sure to let people know why he cured their bad habits with fire and brimstone
PlatypusPlatypus
He learned to bully by watching his dad, I guess
sowillo
Not totally true.He could be bullied on his sports team or by older students or just from other students in his class years before. its rage
rudejohn
Possibly. But unless the video shows the kid's face or includes his name, I wouldn't call it bullying.
AnnieBahde
You don’t think all the people in his life know who it is from the video?
juzsayin
Punishment isn't bullying. Teching the kid actions have consequences is what a good parent does.
pauldegraaf
Exactly this. I think that a lot of bullies learn at home how to disrespect.

Linguistically we speak like our peers, not our parents. I airways think this applies to personality too.

There's a difference between getting in trouble with friends, and the parents discipline the child, than the child getting in trouble--

Bully - a person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker. Punishing your child isn’t bullying.
iDrawStuff
"I'm going to make my child (weaker) run to school in the rain because I'm the parent (power)." Nope. Not abuse at all. /s
LabiaCrust
Really? He got kicked off the bus so you make them walk. Should you really just drive them so they don’t feel a consequence?

Once you film it and put it on social media, it's no longer about disciplining a child. It's about the parent wanting to show off

Hit my little brother once. Dad had me put on the boxing gloves with him. Didn't like being hit. Didn't hit brothers anymore.
SierraKomodo
That's a good way of handling it, I'd say.
Squidwardsnose
Hit as in your punched them in the face?
AlarumWithin
Yes
Squidwardsnose
I feel like the dislike of you being hit shouldn't be the only thing to deter you from hitting them
AlarumWithin
Your missing the point. My little brother was smaller and pretty defenseless against me. Same with dad knocking me around.
DevonGronka
Maybe it's being treated like this continually that lead to the bullying in the first place. Just a guess. These things start at home often.
eroso
Depends how long the run is. If over 1000 miles, that'd be kinda cruel.
DonteHaversham
At least the kid could day he ran 500 miles, then ran 500 more

BagFullOfMommy
Why shouldn't the child be shamed if he was being a bully? Maybe if he is shamed enough he wont do it anymore.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Doesn't work for the same reasons you can't shame a fat person into healthier habits. You just reinforce the behaviour
GreatLordKek
Kids bully because they're bitter and unhappy. Shaming someone who is bitter and unhappy produces more bitterness and unhappiness.
TheNLK
That's not always true, there are a million reasons people do the things they do.
BagFullOfMommy
Disagree, can't just boil it down to "unhappy and bitter". Negative reinforcement like this works well on young children.
GreatLordKek
Two things: ....
GreatLordKek
Two: What would you boil down bullying to? Have you ever known bullies (and i've known quite a few) that weren't bitter, unhappy people?
GreatLordKek
One: I agree that negative reinforce works, but its a cheap solution. It doesn't solve long term problems. I think I can argue that well.
SierraKomodo
I think what we can all agree on is that every case and person is different and there's no one size fits all solution.
Camelspotting
I think it's been shown that kids respond a lot better to positive reinforcement.
Vixess
That kid probably embarrassed quite a few other kids in his day. In my opinion, a little shame could do him good.
Camelspotting
"Hey we like your application and you're qualified but we cant give you this job because you bullied a kid in 5th grade and it's on the web"
GdSvThQn
Except this shame will follow him for a long, long time because nothing ever leaves the internet. Keep shit off social media people.
Vixess
On the other hand, bullies usually are bullies because of what they deal with at home, so what does THAT say about the parents?
SushiJaguar
And sometimes, bullies are bullies because they get a kick out of it or are just apathetic to the plight of others.
LucifersDoge
sometimes kids don’t know theyre bullies and are encouraged by the laughter of their peers. so its sometimes mobbish
Lahoura
Actually most bullies don't have bad home backgrounds, rather they are spoiled at home and know they can get away with it
Arcygenical
As an ex fat kid its crazy, all 30 of my classmates across 2 schools were abused at home.

Beezlebubble
from his parenting. He only ever hit me once and he felt so bad after. His dad was abusive so he wanted to be better. People need to learn

the difference between discipline and abuse. Filming it and sharing it, yeah,I don't agree with, but having him walk, he's fine.

Depends on the distance and temp. The flu is dropping kids and old folk at an alarming rate, running in the rain is a good way to catch it.

All I'm saying is making your 2rd grade child run a half hour to school while weighed down in the rain is a bit child abuse-y

Or the dreaded giant wooden spoon *shudder*. Or that time with my dad's belt that had a gilt metal end
glassweaver
Good thing he didn't make him run half an hour then. Kid took 10 minutes to get there by the dad's account.

depends on how long the run is.

According to the video, it's about a mile. Not too far, about 10 minutes at that kid's pace.

When I was a kid and I got in trouble, my mum would make me go pick the stick she'd whip me with.

The GIF was made from the video, where the father is describing the events and punishment. Seemed reasonable given that context.
