mom makes daughter post embarrassing photo as punishment

174. When did forcing a child to take responsibility for bad behavior become psychological abuse?

When I was growing up, I was expected to apologies and make up for my bad behavior! How is this any different then me telling my peers I was grounded or not aloud to use the phone? When I was ten I stole candy from a very large, crowded local store. When my Mother found out what I had done she marched me right back down there and forced me to give back the candy to the store manager and made me apologies to him...in front of the whole store! Darned right I never forgot it! And I never stole anything again! Way to go Mom for making a horrible mistake into a great learning experience! She will certainly think twice about drinking as well as what she posts on the internet! Everyone here seems to think that her apology post is some how going to psychologically scar her, what about the original pictures? Those will be much more haunting in the long run! What if the next time, not only does she decide to make bad decisions and drink and take pictures but she does it with out her clothes or while driving or something truly dangerous? I think she will absolutely think twice about what she puts out into the world from now on!
