MOTHER POSTS CHILD’S PUNISHMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA

A Newfoundland mom is being both praised and panned for how she punished her daughter for apparent bullying behaviour — and then discussing it all on social media. Amanda Mitchell posted three pictures on Facebook of her nine-year-old daughter’s room after she stripped it of everything except the bed and a single change of clothing for the week. Mitchell said it was punishment for acting up in school and being mean to a friend. “Welcome to Mommy’s Juvenile Detention little girl,” she wrote. “Harsh? Not in my opinion. If she grows up to break the law then the result is jail and that’s not what I want for my children.” As of Monday afternoon, the post had about 59,600 shares. The majority of comments were favourable, though some did question her decision to make the public post.
