Mom sparks debate by detailing daughter’s ‘extreme’ punishment on social media
A Newfoundland mom is being both praised and panned for what some say are extreme measures to punish 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 young girl’s bed and a single change of clothing for the week.
Mitchell said the near-empty room — along with the same outfit of an anti-bullying T-shirt — was punishment for acting up in school and being mean to a friend.
The mother of two also planned to make her daughter copy phrases — 50 times apiece — including “I will not lie,” “I will be kind to everyone” and “I am responsible for my own actions.”
