However, it\u2019s virtually impossible to root it out entirely, so what to do when a child is found to be\u00a0bullying<\/a>\u00a0another? Well, one Texan mom had a rather controversial method of punishing her son after hearing how he\u2019d called other kids in his class \u201cidiots\u201d and \u201cstupid\u201d. The woman, known only as Star,\u00a0has sent shockwaves<\/a>\u00a0around the internet with her choice of admonishment.<\/p>\n As per British newspaper\u00a0The Daily Star<\/a>, the mom wanted to stamp out her son\u2019s behavior and, having grown tired of his antics, conjured her own form of rebuke.<\/p>\n She told ABC13<\/a>\u00a0that she was an \u201cold-school parent\u201d who believes in strong morals.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t coddle my children. I don\u2019t\u00a0sugar-coat\u00a0the world to them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Instead of simply telling him off, or even ordering him to deliver an apology to the affected kids, Star opted to dress her son in a t-shirt that read \u201cI AM A BULLY\u201d. She then took photos of him before school and uploaded it to Facebook so that everyone could see.<\/p>\n Naturally, her decision has been met with a mixed response. Many people are backing her choice of strong punishment, though others believe she may have crossed the line.<\/p>\n Assuring people that she didn\u2019t upload to Facebook in a bid to embarrass her son,\u00a0Star told ABC13:<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n She later removed the post after receiving negative backlash, but she still stands by her decision.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to know what he learned from it and he said, \u2018I learned that I didn\u2019t like the way that that felt and I don\u2019t want anybody else to feel that way because of me. That\u2019s exactly what I wanted him to take from it.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn-main.newsner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2018\/09\/05222956\/Bully.jpg\")
