Most of us have got absolutely no time for bullies. There's no need for wanting to ruin someone else's day with the only motivation being for your own satisfaction.
What we do have a bit of time for though, is parents who treat their children accordingly when they find out they're a bully. It's understandably tough for a parent to find out that all their efforts that have been put into parenting have come to their kid treating someone with so much disrespect.
This mother, Terri Evans, found out that her son had bullied a new girl at his school, and she was obviously unhappy about it.

Given that he'd humiliated a girl by treading on her new shoes and breaking them, she thought that publicly humiliating him on Facebook would be the tip of the iceberg as punishment.
The post, which has since been deleted, said:
"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.
I'll tell you something Jacob ( JustPost Rng Photos) 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
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 behaviour, 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."
Originally her son was tagged in the post so his friends could see, and presumably laugh at him for being schooled by his mum. She removed his tag after her post began to go viral.

Some people were not too impressed by Terri's parenting techniques, which is understandable, however it could be argued that it makes sense. If he gets his kicks from tormenting and making fun of people, maybe a taste of his own medicine is the best way to punish him.
She has since spoken to her son and feels confident he won't do anything similar in the future. If he does, there's a chance something a whole lot worse could go viral.
