Using social media for shaming
Lately I have noticed an increasing trend in posts that show how parents are using social media to shame their children as a form of punishment. A mom who posted a video of her yelling and screaming at her daughter for having a Facebook account at the age of 11, another of a dad shooting his daughter's laptop with a gun and then posting the video on youtube.
As a parent I am appalled at this kind of behaviour and can't imagine why a parent would find this as a good way to discipline their children. However, perhaps I am wrong, this is simply my opinion.
Now the latest isn't only a parent shaming their kids on a social platform - but everyday by giving them what they think is a creative hair cut!

| From Facebook: An Atlanta barbershop gives old-man haircuts to misbehaving kids. Parents can bring in their kids who have been acting up and ask for the "Benjamin Button Special". |
Here is an article about this barber shop. Read it to get a better understanding of what this barber is doing.
So just as the article asks - do you think this is a great idea - or - simple just the meanest thing ever? Write a blog about your opinion - be sure to find examples to support your answer.
