A mother was recently horrified to learn that her son had been bullying the new girl at his school. Once she learned this, she took to Facebook to reveal what she did next, and her post has quickly gone viral.

“Absolutely disgusted that my 12-year-old son saw fit to purposefully tread on a new girls foot at school and twist his foot with such force it broke her brand new shoes (causing the heel) to snap,” the mother wrote. “I’ll tell you something Jacob if you so much as breath in her or anyone’s direction in a bullying manner I will personally hand you over to their parents for every demeaning chore they see fit for as long as they do… kiss goodbye to your birthday money as you will be buying the girl a new pair of shoes and a bunch of flowers! ‪#‎iwillnothaveabullyinmyhouse‬.”

She later added this update:

Update. To answer a few questions, yes my son can see it, he was tagged in it before it went viral(which I didn’t realise was going to happen) so his friends could see that his actions have consequences, he is not big, clever, hard or funny, he’s a 12-year-old boy answerable to his mam.

I don’t much care who doesn’t agree with my parenting style, my son humiliated and embarrassed a girl, regardless of his reasoning (which was he didn’t expect to break the shoe he just thought she may step out of it or stumble) that little girl still cried, for anyone’s knowledge that girl may have left her old school because she was being bullied… then imagine how much worse my son’s ridiculous act would have made her feel.

So my so-called embarrassing him online is a to be quite frankly nothing in comparison to the humiliation that little girl had to face walking round with a broken shoe and red eyes from crying when she is new.

Ps… of course I sat and spoke to him about his behavior, I didn’t just tag him in a post and he read it! I am wholly confident this was a single occurrence which won’t be repeated.

Some people have slammed the mother for publicly shaming her son, but others have praised her for taking action to show the boy that bullying is not acceptable. Bullying is a problem that has plagued our country for far too long, and we need more mothers like this one who are not afraid to take action to put a stop to it!
