Mom Goes Viral For The Shirt She Forced Her Son To Wear
Mom wanted the people in his community to identify her son as a bully at Greenleaf Elementary School. She was aware that her kid was a terrible person to other students and that other students had heard this.
She let her son wear a T-shirt that embarrassed him in front of hundreds of people at the school, not to mention thousands of people who saw his mother’s Facebook post on social media, because she wanted everyone to know that she believed them.

“He was calling other boys stupid (and) calling them idiots,” the Texas mother, Star, who preferred to be called by her first name alone, according to KTRK-TV. “I’m a very old-school parent. I don’t coddle my children. I don’t sugarcoat the world to them.”
Star uploaded a photo of the youngster sporting the T-shirt to her Facebook page because she wanted as many people to be aware that her son was a bully.
According to Star “I posted it to reach out to the parents of any of the kids my son may have bullied so that each one of them could get a personal apology.”
Star defended herself against critics in the online community and stood by her actions, despite the opinion of some that she punished her bully son too harshly.
“I wanted to know what he learned from it, and he said, ‘I learned that I didn’t like the way that that felt, and I don’t want anybody else to feel that way because of me,’” Star said. “That’s exactly what I wanted him to take from it.”
Experts in the field of child development oppose Star’s punishment. A child psychiatrist at Baylor College of Medicine criticized Star for how she treated her son, despite the fact that he was a bully who was harming other kids.
The child psychiatrist stated, “Not a good idea to embarrass your child and solidify a negative identity in an elementary school child.” “She needs to find somebody to help her, and I think the school is one resource.”
Despite facing backlash on social media and other online platforms, Star insisted that her son’s school district supported her choice.
“Parents have the right to make important decisions and take certain actions on behalf of their child,” stated Splendora ISD.
