Video Of Disrespectful Punks Bullying Lady

[🪦 puckface ●]

I\'m with Mike. I\'ve heard about this video and I just don\'t care to watch it. It sickens to me to hear about what these kids have said and done. Respect is the absolute most important quality to have in the world, and kids just don\'t have it these days. (Let alone many adults). I was raised to say yes sir and yes ma\'am. Thanks to my parenting, I\'ve grown to know how respectful it is to look your elder in the eyes as you go to give them a firm handshake. Clearly, these kids were not raised properly.

This is a perfect example as to why kids need a good kick in the rear or a belt to the a$$ whenever they do something wrong. I got the belt from my dad as a kid, and whatever I did to receive it, I only did ONCE. Because after one whippin\' from my dad, I knew I better not do it again.

(p.s., I did not watch the video, but PLEASE tell me there is a kid on the bus who finally can\'t take anymore and smacks some sense into these brats?)

I saw this a few days ago. Makes me REALLY angry that nothing will be done about it. But I did read somewhere that they\'re taking donations to gather up the money to send the victim on a vacation.

I think a big problem is less and less parents doing their jobs to discipline their children and teach them respect. One bad kid is very influental on a group of others, so imagine 10 or more bad kids. Start busting your kid\'s butts when they do wrong. I was and am well aware of the consequences of my actions.

@ Brunnen-G - Exactly man. Parents these days want to be a best friend to their kids opposed to a parent. Can\'t work that way. Some of the stuff I see out in public these days makes me physically ill. Why parents won\'t stop their kids and their bratty behavior from ruining their evening and everyone else around them is beyond me. It\'s like kids these days practically run the show based on how poorly they behave. Didn\'t work like that in my day.
@puck - Amen to that. My Dad took a belt to me, too. You always think about the whole "this hurts me more than it will hurt you" thing when you\'re a kid, and you can\'t help but be cynical about it and say "yeah, RIGHT" in your head. Once you get older, you understand just how true it is. And like you said, if I got the belt over something, I didn\'t dare chance repeating whatever got me in that position. Wasn\'t worth it. The model works, if it\'s done correctly. People just try to equate that to child abuse these days, which it\'s not. Reinforcing punishment as necessary isn\'t abuse. It worked just fine for generations. Now, all of a sudden, the world goes soft in the silliest ways. Some kids these days haven\'t even hit puberty yet and already they walk around with a sense of entitlement thanks to crappy parenting practices. What a world.

Little update, this article here mentions that the 4 kids were suspended for 1 year.

HLM, You said it, man. While I understand we, as humans, are a much more intelligent and sympathetic species, it\'s nature to enforce rules and boundaries with a form physical discipline. Now PLEASE, do NOT take that as me saying "beat your children!!!!". What I\'m trying to convey is this:

When a baby cub is playing too rough with mama lion, she gives the cub a swift claw or soft chomp. Merely to let the cub know "YOU SHOULD NOT DO THAT". It\'s how nearly every mammal on Earth learns.

When a child acts out, the smack to the rear end or hand sends very specific signals to the brain that inform the child that what they did was directly connected with a consequence. Many times, words or (less) severe forms of punishment do not make that direct connection as the "whipping" will do. (I learned a lot of this in psychology class, so if I\'m misinformed, please forgive me)

Again. PLEASE do not cast judgement on me for what I\'ve said. I still am not a father, so for all I know, the day my little one is born, I could decide I don\'t have the heart to strike my child. But for now, all I can say is this:

I got the belt as a child when I did wrong, and I like to think I\'ve grown up to be a decent, respectful adult. If I only got "time out" each time I acted out, I doubt I would have the respect for boundaries as I do now. And I thank both my mother and father for that.

Well if you are a small child and say things , then that\'s understandable as you are still learning . But for teenagers , I could be wrong but I would think that they should know when to open their mouth . If they did it on purpose with the intent to post the video online then they should get severe punishment . It\'s kinda like plotting to ill someone . You already know what you are going to do ahead of time . If it were me , i\'d suspend all of them for the entire year and bring them back to graduation . Only to bring all of them up to the stage and publicly anounce why they will not be graduating and repeating that grade over infront of all the other students and parents . The cruel things they put that woman through can be scaring for life so I only feel that that kind of punishment is fair enough . Maybe then both the kids and parents of those kids will learn something .

Actually, they were suspended for an entire year.

[🪦 IbDaToNeGuY ●]

That\'s good to hear . But i\'d still get them up on stage at graduation

@puck - I couldn\'t agree more with what you said. It\'s the straight-up truth. Taking fun stuff away, pep-talks - that kind of thing only goes so far to instill the right kind of message to kids when they are punished. Sometimes it takes more. As long as lines aren\'t crossed and a child isn\'t truly harmed in the process, there\'s nothing wrong with spankings and whatnot. Like you, I believe I grew up perfectly well-adjusted and capable of respected people properly and knowing my own place in this world. It didn\'t have a negative effect on me whatsoever. Sure, my rear-end hurt like hell when I acted up and got popped, but many times I asked for it and that was the point - to make sure I understood what I did was not acceptable if I went too far. Part of growing up is learning, and sometimes you have to do that the hard way.

@ IbDaT - I agree with you as well. Anything to remind these snotty brats that what they did was beyond inappropriate (especially for their age, as you pointed out) should be taken advantage of. It seems pretty possible that it was premeditated, so that makes it a billion times worse. To even think that they may have plotted it all out and took joy in that is incredibly sad and disturbing. You\'d think with all the limitless distractions and things kids can do with their time these days that something like this would\'ve never happened in such a way as it did. Guess not. Just another example of how modern technology can influence poor decisions in the wrong hands, especially if it\'s those of improperly-parented children.
